Keep a sound roof sound

A roof lasts considerably longer when someone looks at it occasionally. Clearing a gutter, removing moss before it thickens, and catching a lifted tile in the year it lifts all cost a fraction of the repair they prevent.

Inspections and surveys

Worth doing every two to three years on a sound roof, annually once it is past about thirty years old, and always after a significant storm or before buying a property. A standard homebuyer survey looks at a roof from the ground and through the loft hatch, which cannot identify nail sickness, failed flashings or a flat roof at the end of its life. You get photographs and a written assessment of what needs doing now and what can reasonably wait.

Moss and roof cleaning

Moss holds water against the tile and pushes it up under the lap, so rain travels sideways instead of running off. It also breaks up and blocks gutters. It is worth removing, but how it is removed matters more than that it is removed at all. Moss is scraped and brushed off by hand and the gutters cleared afterwards. We do not jet wash, because pressure strips the surface of concrete tile and is considerably worse on natural slate and handmade clay, which are porous.

Your Common Roof Maintenance Questions Answered

Every two to three years for a roof in good condition, and annually once it is past about thirty years old. Also worth doing after any significant storm and before buying a property, because a roof is the most expensive thing a survey tends to gloss over.

Yes, though not for the reason most people assume. Moss holds water against the tile and pushes it up under the lap, so rain travels sideways instead of running off. It also breaks up and blocks gutters and downpipes. It is worth removing, but how it is removed matters more than that it is.

A close inspection of the covering, ridge, verges, valleys, flashings, chimney and rainwater goods, plus the roof space where it is accessible. You get photographs of anything found and a written assessment of condition, what needs doing now, and what can reasonably wait.

The roofers in our network do not, and we would advise against anyone who offers to. Pressure strips the surface of concrete tile and is far worse on natural slate and handmade clay, which are porous. It also drives water under the laps. Moss should be removed by hand and the gutters cleared afterwards.
