Why Cherry Willingham roofs grow so much moss

Cherry Willingham is on the flat land east of Lincoln, with clay soil underfoot and not much shelter. Roofs here can stay damp and shaded for long spells, which is when moss and lichen move in. The growth on north-facing pitches holds water against tiles and pointing, and over the years it shortens the life of the roof.

Signs your roof is at risk

On the open, clay-soil ground at Cherry Willingham, moss and lichen get onto roof tiles quickly. You’ll usually find the most on the north-facing pitch, as it stays wet longest after rain.

βœ—
Moss lifting tiles
As roots spread under tiles and into the ridge pointing, they open small gaps, and rain then gets in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
Because moss holds water, frost makes it swell. Over a winter that cracks tiles and loosens pointing.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
When moss collects in valleys it stops the drainage, so damp follows.
βœ—
Kerb appeal
A mossy roof is often the first thing people see from the road, and buyers may then look elsewhere.

Roof cleaning in Cherry Willingham, what we do

Roof cleaning for every street in Cherry Willingham.

Moss removal
Established moss scraped back and brushed off the whole roof.
Biocide treatment
A treatment that keeps working, so leftover lichen dies and comes back slower.
Ridge pointing
Cracked ridge mortar replaced so the roof line keeps out the weather.
Valley clearance
Debris cleared from valleys, so rain then runs off freely.
Tile inspection
We also check for tiles that have cracked or moved out of place.
Gutter clearance
Gutters cleared on the same visit as the roof, since that costs you less.

How roof cleaning in Cherry Willingham works

1
Roof assessment
First we check roof condition, moss cover and whether anything needs repairing soon.
2
Scraping the moss
Then we scrape moss off without stepping on the roof.
3
Biocide application
After that we spray the roof all over to kill the rest and slow regrowth.
4
Report and advice
Before leaving we report on the tiles and advise on any repairs.

Roof cleaning in Cherry Willingham FAQs

Q: Do you walk on my roof?
A: No. We work off ladders with long-reach tools, so in most cases no one has to go on the roof.
Q: How long before the moss treatment wears off?
A: Generally 3–5 years, though a shaded north-facing roof that stays damp might need it sooner.
Q: Do you repoint ridges too?
A: Yes. When we find damaged pointing during the clean, we can repoint the ridge as an add-on.
Q: Will soft washing harm my roof tiles?
A: No. Soft washing is low pressure, so it’s safe on concrete and clay tiles and also on slate, and it clears the growth without damaging anything.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend πŸ‘Œ

An excellent job. From start to finish what an absolute pleasure. No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too. Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job. They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless. I cannot praise them enough. They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.

Fenland did a great job cleaning and re-sanding my block paving path and my patio. Polite and efficient and cleaned the doors and windows where the dirt had splashed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
