Roof Cleaning in Sonning

Sonning sits along the Thames surrounded by established woodland and riverside gardens. The combination of moisture from the river, mature tree canopies and sheltered rooflines creates perfect conditions for moss, algae and lichen to thrive — particularly on north-facing slopes and shaded sections that receive limited winter sunlight.

When left untreated, moss roots work under tile edges, lifting them and allowing water to penetrate. During colder months, trapped moisture freezes and expands, cracking tiles and accelerating deterioration. A professional roof clean removes this growth safely, and a biocide treatment helps prevent it returning.

After cleaning your roof, we apply a professional-grade biocide that penetrates the tile surface, killing moss and algae spores at root level. The treatment continues working for months after application, significantly slowing regrowth and keeping your roof looking cleaner for far longer than washing alone.

For Sonning properties sheltered by riverside trees and mature gardens, this treatment is particularly valuable. It means you can go two to five years between cleans rather than seeing rapid re-growth within months. The biocide is safe for surrounding plants and guttering when applied by a trained professional.
