π Call Now: 0116 319 1348Moss builds up on Leicester's north-facing and tree-shaded roofs. It is mostly cosmetic until it starts blocking valleys and gutters — here is when it is worth acting.
When it is not the answer: If the moss is light and the gutters are clear, it is cosmetic and can wait; and never let anyone pressure-wash a tiled roof — it strips the surface and shortens tile life Read the full guide.
We check the tile condition and how far the moss has spread into valleys and gutters.
A clear price for soft-brush removal and biocide treatment, with gutter clearing included.
Moss work is usually booked within a week, weather permitting.
We soft-brush and scrape the moss — never pressure-wash — clear the gutters, and apply a biocide to slow regrowth.
We clear all moss debris from the ground and gutters and confirm the roof drains freely.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Gutter-line moss & clear | 2–3 hours |
| Full roof soft-brush & biocide | half a day to a day |
| Larger / detached property | 1–2 days |
Biocide is applied in dry conditions so it is not washed off before it works; we schedule around rain.
Moss removal runs from a tower or roof ladder in most cases; larger or steeper roofs need scaffold. Scaffold is specified for: steep or large roofs, and where safe walking access to the whole slope is needed - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces in Highfields and Belgrave mean rear-access scaffold and permit-controlled pavement space; the open post-war estates at Braunstone and Thurmaston are more straightforward to scaffold. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Leicester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like East Park Road, Narborough Road, the terraced streets off London Road where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gutter-line moss & clear | £150–£300 | Incl. gutter clear |
| Full roof soft-brush + biocide | £400–£800 | Semi, north-facing |
| Full clean — detached | £600–£1,200 | Larger roof area |
| Biocide treatment add-on | £80–£200 | Slows regrowth |
| Gutter clear add-on | £80–£150 | With the moss work |
Worked example: A north-facing 1930s Evington semi under tree cover — full soft-brush, gutter clear and biocide — typically £450–£700, never pressure-washed.
No deposit; paid on completion. Moss removal is maintenance — biocide slows regrowth but does not stop it permanently.
Covering LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5 and surrounding postcodes.
The workmanship is guaranteed; biocide slows regrowth for a season or two but moss will return over time — it is maintenance, not a permanent cure.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A quiet, external, low-impact job — a few hours to a day with all moss debris cleared away. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Soft-brushing runs year-round; biocide application waits for a dry window to be effective. Leicesterβs inland Midlands position means wind-driven rain is the main roofing stress rather than coastal salt.
Free, no-obligation. No call-out fee. Local team.
Clarendon Park was developed primarily between 1895 and 1914, producing a coherent stock of Edwardian terraced and semi-detached housing on the streets either side of Queens Road. Clay plain tile is the dominant roof covering, with Welsh slate on some of the larger properties closer to Victoria Park. The character is consistent β bay-fronted two and three-storey terraces with prominent chimney stacks.

Yes. We guarantee the biocide treatment will kill existing moss growth. Dead moss clears naturally over 4–8 weeks through rainfall. The residual biocide action inhibits regrowth for the treatment period specified in the quote β typically 3–5 years on standard Leicester residential roofs. We don't guarantee against regrowth if the underlying conditions (heavy tree cover, persistent shade) are extreme, but we do guarantee the treatment effectiveness for the agreed period.
Manual pre-clearance of valleys, gutters and ridge lines before any biocide application. Soft-wash low-pressure biocide treatment penetrates moss to rhizoid level, kills growth at the root, and provides 3–5 years of residual protection. Dead moss disperses naturally over 4–8 weeks through normal rainfall. No high-pressure washing — pressure washing damages aged clay tile, strips biocide and opens ridge mortar joints.

Clarendon Park was developed primarily between 1895 and 1914, creating a coherent streetscape of bay-fronted Edwardian terraces on the roads either side of Queens Road. The proximity to Victoria Park creates a specific roofing maintenance condition: significant autumn leaf fall from the park's mature tree collection deposits into gutters and roof valleys on the streets closest to the park boundary. Properties on Westcotes Drive, Clarendon Road and nearby streets need annual clearing without exception. The roofing specification throughout Clarendon Park is clay plain tile with lead valleys and lime mortar chimneys β bay window lead flat roofs are the most distinctive lead work category, as almost every terrace in the area has a bay window with a flat lead roof at first-floor level.
Our quoting process is straightforward and quick. Call 0116 319 1348 to book a free survey β we typically confirm a visit within 24–48 hours and can often attend within the same week for standard jobs. The survey takes 20–45 minutes depending on the scope of work, and we provide a written itemised quote within 48 hours of the visit.
The written quote specifies every element of the work: scope, materials by name, access method, guarantee period and payment terms. We never start work without written acceptance of the quote. We don't require payment in full before work starts — a reasonable deposit of 10–25% covers material ordering, with final payment on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card payment and provide a VAT invoice on all work.
Once you accept the written quote, we schedule the work and confirm a start date. For larger jobs involving scaffold, we confirm scaffold erection dates separately. We contact you the working day before the start date to confirm the team is attending. On the day, the lead roofer will introduce themselves and walk through the planned work before starting. Any unexpected findings — structural timber problems, additional lead work required — are communicated immediately with a written price before any additional work is carried out. We don't make decisions on site without your knowledge and approval.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Local roofers covering Clarendon Park and all of Leicester LE2.
