Roof Cleaning in Romford

Romford's housing stock is dominated by inter-war semi-detached and terraced properties whose pitched roofs accumulate moss, algae and lichen at a rate that surprises many homeowners. The combination of north-facing roof slopes, shade from mature street trees and the relatively humid Thames Estuary climate creates near-ideal conditions for biological growth. Once established, moss retains moisture against the tile surface and, over time, accelerates the decay of both clay and concrete tiles — working its way beneath the edges and causing cracking and lifting that leads to leaks and expensive repairs.

We clean roofs across Romford using a low-pressure soft-wash system rather than high-pressure jetting. High-pressure cleaning is widely known to strip tile coatings, damage pointing and force water beneath laps — causing the very problems you are trying to prevent. Our biocide soft-wash treatment kills biological growth at the root, prevents rapid re-growth and leaves tiles intact. We work across RM1, RM2, RM3, RM5, RM6 and RM7, and we photograph the roof before and after so you have a record of the work carried out.
