“I was impressed with how quickly the team responded.”
Safe roof cleaning services. Green patches on your tiles can look minor, but moss holds water against your roof and fills your gutters.
If you want a reliable roof moss removal London service, Roofing SOS Ltd can help. We are a family-run roofing company with more than 20 years of combined hands-on experience. We clean your roof carefully, check its condition and tell you honestly what it needs.
Thick moss, dark algae and crusty lichen spoil the look of a roof. They also hide problems underneath. Our roof moss removal services in London clear this growth and leave your roof cleaner and easier to assess.
We start with manual moss scraping, using specialist roof scraping tools to lift moss from tiles, ridges and roof edges. Where a roof needs it, we add suitable low-pressure cleaning or a moss treatment. We also remove the debris and clear your gutters afterwards.
We clean concrete and clay tiles, natural and artificial slate, and older weathered roofs. The right method depends on the material, age and condition of your roof. No single method suits every roof, so we assess yours first.
We work for homeowners, landlords and property managers, including:
Moss grows where roofs stay damp and shaded. Left alone, it builds up and starts to cause trouble. Removing it brings real, practical benefits.
Moss soaks up rain and keeps tiles wet for longer. It can also hide slipped or cracked tiles. Once we clear it, you can see the true state of your roof and fix small faults before they grow.
_Moss alone does not prove your roof leaks. It does make problems harder to spot._
Loose moss and leaves wash into your gutters and downpipes. Blocked gutters then overflow and soak your walls. We remove moss from valleys, ridges and eaves, then clear the gutters, so water flows away freely.
We cannot promise a longer lifespan for every roof, because age and condition vary. We can remove heavy build-up and spot damage early. Regular care supports your roof and helps you avoid repeat repairs.
You should know exactly what you are paying for. Here is how every job runs.
We ask about your property and roof type. Then we inspect the roof, the access and the amount of growth. We also look for fragile, weathered or damaged tiles.
We choose the method that suits your roof material and condition. Manual scraping comes first. We use gentle, low-pressure cleaning or treatment only where it suits your roof. Pressure washing does not suit every roof, so we never use it blindly.
Next, we clean the tiles, ridge tiles, hip tiles and valleys. We also treat algae and lichen where needed. Our aim is a clean surface without harming your tiles.
Work at height needs planning. We assess access and use scaffolding or suitable equipment where the job calls for it. We protect plants, paths and driveways below, collect moss and debris safely, and take all waste away.
When we finish, we inspect the roof again, clear the gutters and tidy the site. We can provide before-and-after photos so you see the difference.
If we find slipped tiles, damaged flashing or worn areas, we tell you straight. You get a clear quote for any extra work, and you decide what happens next. We never push repairs you do not need.
Every roof is different, so we quote after we see the job.
You get a free written quotation with upfront pricing. It shows what the work includes, so you face no surprise charges. If we find extra roof repairs, we quote for them separately.
Nobody can promise moss will never return. Regrowth depends on your roof’s conditions and the weather. You can still slow it down.
Look for new growth and loose tiles each year.
Less shade means a drier roof.
Leaves and moss hold water against the roof edge.
It can help slow regrowth on some roofs.
Damp, shaded roofs collect moss faster. We advise you on the right maintenance routine after every clean.
Roof moss removal can reveal other roofing problems, such as slipped tiles, damaged flashing or worn roof coverings. If we find a problem, we can fix it in the same visit. We also offer:
Roof repairs for slipped, cracked or damaged tiles
