Roof scraping and roof cleaning.

Roof Scraping and Roof Cleaning

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your property, yet it’s often the most overlooked. Over time, moss, algae and lichen build up on roof tiles, trapping moisture and gradually causing damage. That’s where professional roof scraping and roof cleaning comes in. At Fenland Property Care, we help homeowners across the local area keep their roofs clean and in good condition.

Why Moss on Your Roof Is a Problem

Moss might look harmless, but it can cause serious issues if left untreated. It holds moisture against your roof tiles, which can lead to cracking, pitting and premature wear. In colder months, when trapped moisture freezes and expands, it increases the risk of broken tiles. As moss falls away from the tiles, it often gets stuck blocking gutters and downpipes, leading to overflowing rainwater, damp walls and potential internal damage from leaks.

Regular roof scraping and roof cleaning prevents these problems before they turn into costly repairs.

What Is Roof Scraping?

Roof scraping is the safest and most effective way to remove heavy moss growth. Using specialist tools, moss is carefully scraped from the tiles by hand, without applying high pressure with a jet wash that could damage the tiles. This method is suitable for most roof types and is especially important for older or more delicate tiles.

At Fenland Property Care, roof scraping is carried out from safely, ensuring both your property and our team are looked after.

The Importance of Roof Cleaning

Once moss has been removed, roof cleaning takes the process further. After scraping, we apply a professional biocide treatment that kills the remaining spores that are deep in the porous surface of the tiles. This treatment continues to work overtime, helping to keep your roof cleaner for longer and slowing down regrowth.

Unlike pressure washing, which can strip protective coatings and force water beneath tiles, our roof cleaning methods are designed to be gentle, effective and long-lasting.

How Often Should Your Roof Be Cleaned?

Most roofs benefit from being cleaned every 3 to 5 years, depending on your location, surrounding trees and roof type. If you can see visible moss patches and discolouring, it’s a sign your roof needs some attention.
