What grows on a Weybridge roof, and why
Most of the moss we see in Weybridge is a shade problem. St George's Hill was laid out in woodland and is still full of tall trees, and roads like Heath Road and the streets around Hanger Hill have big gardens with mature planting. A roof that only gets sun for a few hours a day holds moisture, and moss takes hold along the tile edges and in the valleys. Once it thickens, it traps more water and lifts the tiles slightly, which is when gutters start filling with green clumps.
Nearer the rivers, around Wey Road, Thames Street and the Wey Navigation, the problem is more often algae and lichen. The damp air off the Wey and the Thames keeps north-facing slopes wet, and slate in particular picks up black streaks and grey-green lichen patches that a quick wash will not shift.

Slate, clay tiles and tile hanging: different roofs, same gentle method
Elmbridge's own appraisal of the Weybridge Town Centre conservation area notes that slate became the main roofing material here in the late 19th century, with machine-made clay tiles coming back in the early 20th century, often alongside tile-hung bays. Monument Green adds fish-scale slate bays on Crown Terrace and handmade clay tiles on its oldest houses. On St George's Hill, Tarrant's houses are known for half tile-hung walls under their roofs.
All of those are easy to damage with a high-pressure jet. Old clay tiles lose their surface, slate can crack or shift, and water gets forced under the laps. Low-pressure steam softens and lifts the moss, algae and lichen instead, and we work with the lay of the tiles. On tile-hung walls we can clean the hanging tiles in the same visit, since the same moss tends to be growing there too.

Cherry picker access, no feet on your tiles
We do not walk on roofs or lean ladders against them. Our own 19m cherry picker puts IPAF-trained operatives right where they need to be, which is particularly useful on the large detached houses on St George's Hill and the tall three-storey Victorian villas off the High Street. It also keeps people off fragile old tiles that would break underfoot.
On the Hill, tell us about any gate or access arrangements and we will plan around them. In the tighter streets of the town centre, we check where the machine can stand before the day.

Biocide finish and the 5-year guarantee
Every roof clean finishes with a professional biocide treatment. It kills off spores left in the tile surface and slows regrowth, which matters in a town as leafy and damp as Weybridge. Roof cleans are backed by a 5-year guarantee.
We will also clear the gutters of what comes down during the clean if you want, so you are not left with blocked downpipes after the roof is done.
If your roof sits in the Monument Green or Town Centre conservation area, it may well have some of the oldest coverings in Weybridge, from handmade clay tiles to decorative slate. Those are exactly the roofs where gentle steam and no foot traffic make the biggest difference, and we take our time on them.

Roof Cleaning Weybridge FAQs
Answers to common questions about our exterior cleaning services. Can't see yours? Give us a call — we're always happy to help.
Will steam damage the old clay tiles on my Weybridge house?
No. It is low-pressure, so it lifts growth without stripping the tile surface. That is why we use it on older roofs in the town centre and Monument Green conservation areas.
Can you clean slate roofs?
Yes. Slate is common in Weybridge, especially on late Victorian houses. Steam shifts lichen and black streaks gently, and we never walk on the slates.
How do you access roofs on St George's Hill?
With our own 19m cherry picker, operated by IPAF-trained staff. Let us know about gate access when you book and we will arrange our arrival accordingly.
How long will my roof stay clean?
The biocide treatment slows regrowth, and roof cleans carry a 5-year guarantee. Roofs under heavy tree cover or near the river will still see some growth over time, and we will tell you honestly what to expect.
