Roofing SOS Ltd are Experts in all aspects of Roofing in Bournemouth and the Surrounding Areas
Do you see dark green moss on your roof tiles? Many people in London have this problem. Moss removal roof London services from Roofing SOS Ltd help you stop moss before it makes big damage. Moss looks small, but it holds water on your tiles. That water slowly rots your roof over time. Our team takes moss off in a safe way, and we do not break your tiles. For more than 20 years, we have cleaned moss from clay, slate, and concrete roofs across Greater London. Every roof is different, so we choose the safest cleaning method for each property instead of using the same approach for every job.
If your home in London is old, moss on your roof is not new to you. Rain and wet weather help moss and algae grow fast on clay tiles, concrete tiles, and slate tiles. If you leave moss alone, it holds water, makes wood rot, and can cause a roof leak inside your house. You want a roofer you can trust. You do not want someone who tells you to pay for a full roof replacement London job when you only need a clean. This is what Roofing SOS Ltd does best. We check your roof first. Then we clean it. We only tell you about repairs if your roof really needs them.
The cause
Moss thrives anywhere that stays damp for long periods — and London roofs offer the perfect conditions.
London's frequent rain keeps roofs wet, giving moss the moisture it loves.
Many roofs are shaded, so they never dry out fully between showers.
Fallen leaves trap moisture on tiles and feed moss growth.
As moss spreads it soaks up water, leading to cracked tiles and leaks.
You may not notice roof moss at first, but there are clear signs that it is becoming a problem.
If you notice any of these signs, it is a good idea to have your roof checked before the damage gets worse.
Moss does not just look bad. It can make your roof last less time and cost you more money later.
Thick moss stops water from moving off your roof the right way. Water can collect around roof valleys and flashing areas, causing damp problems inside your home. This can cause damp and water damage in your loft. When we clear the moss, water can flow away like it should.
Moss grows small roots into your roof tiles and the mortar between them. Over time, this makes tiles loose. Tiles can crack, come loose, or slip off in heavy rain or strong wind. If you remove moss early, you protect your roof. This also helps you avoid sudden emergency roof repair calls.
A clean roof lasts much longer. Simple roof maintenance, like moss removal, adds years to your roof. This can help you wait longer before you need a new roof installation London job.
We use an easy and proven way to do every job. This works well for a detached house, a semi-detached house, a terraced house, or a bungalow.
We use safe tools and equipment, like safety harnesses, roof ladders and scaffolding when needed. Our trained staff do not use high-pressure washing because it can damage roof tiles. That kind of washing can crack tiles or damage the roofing felt under them.
Every job starts with a free roof check. Our trained roofers look at your tiled roof, roof ridge, roof verge, and eaves. We check for damage before we start any cleaning.
After we take off the moss, we clean the whole roof. We also clear out your gutters, do gutter cleaning, and check your fascia and soffit for wear and tear.
We take care of your property from start to finish. Before we begin, we protect your garden, driveway, paths, and nearby areas from falling moss and debris. After the work is complete, we clean everything so your property looks tidy before we leave.
At the end, we do a full roof check to make sure your roof is dry, has good airflow, and is ready for London weather, from heavy rain to cold frost.
When the cleaning is finished, we inspect your roof one more time. If we find a loose tile, cracked mortar, or another small problem, we explain it clearly before doing any extra work. If your roof is in good condition, we will tell you that too. We only recommend repairs when they are truly needed.
