Moss holds water against the tiles and blocks gutters; manual removal and biocide extends roof life in Royal Wootton Bassett. Royal Wootton Bassett has a historic High Street core but is dominated by extensive post-war and modern estates built as the town expanded north of the M4. On this kind of stock, the common problems are nail sickness and dry-verge failure on the concrete-tile estates, wind-lifted tiles, and early uPVC roofline failing on the 1990s stock — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Roof cleaning in Royal Wootton Bassett addresses moss, lichen and algae accumulation that accelerates tile surface degradation. Conditions in Royal Wootton Bassett favour moderate moss growth, particularly on north-facing slopes and under tree canopy. Moss holds moisture against tile surfaces, mechanically lifts tile edges on concrete tile, and traps freeze-thaw moisture on clay and stone.
We use manual removal and soft-wash biocide — no pressure washing, which removes protective coatings from concrete tiles and fractures aged clay tile. NFRC-approved method. Biocide treatment after removal slows regrowth to every 4–6 years before re-treatment is needed. A written roof condition report is included on every cleaning visit.
We assess the moss coverage, tile type and condition, and set up safe access.
Moss is scraped and brushed off by hand — never pressure washed, which damages tiles.
A biocide is applied to kill remaining spores and slow regrowth over the following seasons.
We clear the moss debris from the gutters so it doesn't wash back down.
