Inspect the tiles before removing moss
Moss often gathers where a roof stays shaded or damp, building up along tile edges and collecting in gutters as it breaks away. The first step is to check the covering beneath it. Cracked tiles, fragile surfaces and failed pointing need a repair decision before cleaning begins.
Lewis assesses the roof material, pitch and access so the proposed method suits the actual roof. Clay pantiles, concrete interlocking tiles and slate are not interchangeable surfaces. Their condition matters as much as their age, especially on a roof that has already been coated or repeatedly patched.
Cleaning should not become an excuse to disturb sound details or force water into joints. The written quote identifies the area to be treated, the preparation and the chosen cleaning method. You can also have the surrounding guttering checked so loosened material does not simply move the blockage from the roof into the rainwater system.
A clean roof starts with controlled preparation
Access is arranged first, with the ground around the working area prepared for the material coming off the roof. Moss is removed using a method suited to the tiles and their condition. Fragile or damaged areas receive attention as the work progresses.
The team then clears the debris rather than leaving it in the gutter runs or across the garden. The roof edges deserve particular care because that is where material gathers on its way down. Outlets, valley channels and the backs of chimneys all need a free water route.
Lewis checks these details alongside the main roof slopes and explains any separate repair needed. On a low bungalow, several large slopes can carry substantial moss even though the access height is modest. A terraced roof has less area but tighter access and adjoining properties to consider.
Preparation and tidy-up are part of the job, not a separate task for you afterwards.
Discuss coatings against the roof condition
A coating is a separate decision from moss removal. The existing covering needs to be suitable, properly prepared and sound enough for the proposed product. A fresh colour does not repair a broken tile or replace failed flashing.
Lewis explains the purpose of the coating and the roof work needed beforehand, so you can judge the complete job. Roof size, pitch, access and the depth of build-up determine the cost and duration of cleaning. Multiple valleys, roof windows and conservatories below the eaves add preparation and working time.
Weather and the drying requirements of the chosen treatment also affect the sequence. Your free survey establishes those details and gives you a written price with no VAT added. If the main concern is a leak rather than appearance, start with a roof inspection so the repair comes first.
The free health check gives you photographs of anything else needing attention on the roof and exterior.

Good to know
Straight answers before you book.
Does moss removal stop a roof leak?
Cleaning removes build-up, but cracked tiles and defective flashing still need repair. Lewis checks the roof condition first and separates cleaning from any work needed to stop water entering.
Do all roofs need a coating after cleaning?
No. A coating is an additional option for a suitable covering. Lewis assesses the tiles and existing finish before recommending treatment, and prices it separately from moss removal.
Do you remove moss?
Moss removal and roof cleaning are covered. Lewis checks the covering and sets out the cleaning and any related repairs in the written quote.
Do you offer roof coatings?
Roof coatings are part of the roofing service. The survey and written quote identify the treatment and preparation agreed for the existing roof.
