Roof Cleaning in Chafford Hundred

Chafford Hundred was built predominantly in the 1990s and early 2000s, and the housing stock is far more uniform than older Thurrock towns — most properties use concrete interlocking tiles in a limited range of profiles. What surprises many residents is that newer concrete tiles can accumulate algae and moss relatively quickly. The textured surface of modern concrete tiles provides more grip for spores than the smooth glazed surface of older clay tiles, and north or east-facing slopes in Chafford Hundred accumulate growth within five to ten years of construction — particularly on properties backing onto the nature reserve or nearby landscaped areas.

We cover Chafford Hundred from our Tilbury base using a soft-wash biocide system designed specifically for modern concrete tiles. The treatment kills algae and moss at the root and includes a residual effect that significantly delays re-growth. Unlike high-pressure cleaning — which can strip the surface coating from concrete tiles and accelerate their weathering — the soft-wash method preserves the tile surface while achieving a thorough biological clean.
