Get rid of roof moss and algae with expert roof cleaning in Richmond

We assess the roof's size, tile type, age, condition and level of organic growth before selecting the most suitable cleaning method. Depending on the surface, we use manual moss scraping, specialist low-pressure washing or a solution-based soft wash.

  • Manual moss removal: Specialist pole-mounted tools remove established moss from roof tiles without applying water pressure. This method is particularly suitable for older or delicate coverings.
  • Specialist low-pressure washing: A flat-surface cleaning tool with carefully reduced pressure provides even coverage on suitable, sound concrete and clay tiles. We always carry out a test patch first.
  • Soft wash roof treatment: A professional cleaning solution targets moss, algae and lichen with minimal physical contact, making it suitable for lighter growth and more fragile surfaces.
  • Professional biocide treatment: Applied after cleaning to slow the return of moss and algae. We recommend a simple re-treatment every 1–2 years to maintain the results without requiring another full clean.
  • Full gutter cleaning: Roof debris, leaves and accumulated sludge are cleared from your gutters at no extra cost.
  • Complete site clean-up: Surrounding walls, fascias and paving are rinsed down, while collected organic debris is composted onsite where suitable or placed in your garden waste bin.

Roof types and moss growth around Richmond

Victorian and Georgian roofs around Richmond town centre
Richmond's historic centre has a varied mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings, particularly around George Street, The Green and the streets leading towards the Thames. Roof coverings include traditional slate and red tiles, with different roof shapes and details across the area. Older or weathered surfaces may need a gentler cleaning method to avoid unnecessary pressure on the tiles.

Period houses around Richmond Hill and Queen's Road
Richmond Hill and the surrounding residential streets feature substantial Victorian houses, terraces and semi-detached properties, alongside some 1930s buildings. Many have pitched roofs with slate or clay tile coverings. We check the age, material and condition of each roof before deciding whether manual moss scraping, low-pressure washing or soft washing is appropriate.

Leafy properties around Petersham and Richmond Park
Homes near Petersham, Richmond Park and the riverside benefit from mature trees, gardens and generous green spaces. Depending on the property's position, overhanging branches, shaded roof slopes and falling leaves can create conditions that encourage moss, algae and lichen growth. Organic debris can also collect around roof edges and block gutters.

roof cleaning before and after results

Roof age, covering material and overall condition determine the safest cleaning approach. Older or fragile slate and tile roofs may be better suited to manual moss scraping or soft washing, while sound concrete and clay tiles may be suitable for specialist low-pressure cleaning following a successful test patch.
