Why Moss Is More Than Just Cosmetic

Heavy moss holds moisture against your tiles through winter and gives ice somewhere to form and expand. Over years this works the pointing loose, lifts bedding mortar on ridges and forces tiles out of position. It also blocks the gaps tiles need to breathe. A visibly green roof in Burgess Hill is not just tired looking, it is actively shortening the life of the tiles and the structure below them.

How We Clean Without Causing Damage

We lift and hand-clear moss from ridges and valleys, brush surfaces soft enough not to abrade glaze, and flush gutters at the end so everything you loosened ends up out of the system. No pressure washing, no jet wash, no caustic soaking that runs into your borders. What comes off the roof goes into our bags and away.

Treatment to Slow Regrowth

After cleaning we apply a biocide treatment that slows regrowth for several years. Sussex is damp and shaded in winter, perfect conditions for moss, so without treatment it comes back quickly. The biocide works gradually over the following weeks, continuing to clean the surface as it penetrates. Most customers see a two to three year improvement before any cleaning is needed again.

About us

We added roof cleaning because customers kept asking us to tackle the moss after repairs. Over time it grew into a proper service with the right methods and equipment. We are not a window cleaning van with a jet wash bolted on. Roof cleaning is skilled work and we treat it that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does roof cleaning cost in Burgess Hill?

It depends on the size of the roof and the depth of the moss, but roof cleaning is one of the more affordable roofing services. Kingsgaurd Roofing Solutions quotes free after a visual inspection, and the price includes treatment to slow regrowth as well as clearing the gutters at the end.

Is pressure washing bad for roof tiles?

Yes. High pressure washing strips the surface from clay and concrete tiles, removes the granule layer from felt roofs and forces water under laps where it damages the felt beneath. It can void manufacturers guarantees and cause more damage than the moss it removes. We never use pressure washers on roof tiles for this reason.

How often should a roof be cleaned in Mid Sussex?

Most homes in Mid Sussex benefit from a clean every three to five years, sooner if there are overhanging trees or a north facing pitch that stays damp. After we apply our biocide treatment the interval stretches. We can advise the right schedule for your specific roof when we quote.
