Moss Off the Roof, Checked by a Roofer.
Moss holds water against your tiles and washes into your gutters. We remove it from Corby roofs carefully, then inspect the tiles underneath with a free drone survey.

Roof Moss Removal in Corby, Northamptonshire
Moss is not just untidy. A thick mat of it holds rain against the tiles, freezes into the laps in winter, and drops into the gutter until the roofline backs up. On Corby's concrete-tiled estates around Kingswood, Danesholme and Hazelwood, decades of moss growth sit on tiles whose surface is already weathering, so removal has to be gentle: the wrong treatment does more harm than the moss.
We remove moss by hand from accessible slopes, working from towers or with the drone scouting first, and never with methods that blast the surface off weathered concrete tiles. Shaded gardens at Oakley Vale, Priors Hall Park, Little Stanion and the older streets near Great Oakley grow moss back faster, so we are honest about maintenance intervals rather than promising a one-and-done result.
What separates our moss work from a cleaner's ladder is what happens next. Because we are roofers, every moss removal includes a proper look at what the moss was hiding: cracked tiles, failed pointing, a tired roofline. The drone survey before and after shows you the difference, and anything needing repair is quoted separately, with no obligation.
Heavy moss loads and blocked gutters often arrive together. Where the roofline needs attention too, our roof cleaning page covers the wider wash-down and biocide work.
Moss Work We Do
Gentle manual removal
Moss scraped and brushed off by hand on accessible slopes, using methods that respect weathered concrete tiles rather than strip their surface.
Before and after photographs
The drone photographs the roof before we start and after we finish, so you can see the difference across every slope.
Gutter clearing included
Moss that has already washed down is cleared from gutters and downpipes as part of the job, so the roofline flows freely again.
A roofer's inspection
Moss removal doubles as a close inspection: cracked tiles, failed mortar and tired flashings under the growth are found and photographed.
Weathered-tile safe
Old concrete tiles are fragile. We do not use methods that strip their surface, because a stripped tile sheds and fails early.
Honest maintenance advice
Shaded roofs grow moss back. We tell you the realistic interval for your roof's aspect and tree cover instead of promising the moss never returns.
How Hiring Us Works
Call or WhatsApp
Tell us what is going on and where you are. Most surveys are booked within days, and emergencies are treated the same day where we possibly can.
Free drone survey
We fly the roof and photograph every face, ridge, valley and flashing. You get to see the pictures, not just hear a summary.
A quote built on what we saw
The price follows the photographs. You will know which tiles failed, why the leak happened, and what the options are, including the cheap one.
The work, and the paperwork
We complete the job, clear up properly, and on bigger projects we handle planning and building controls through to sign-off.
Why Corby Homeowners Choose Us for Moss Removal
Vetted and approved
We work to UK consumer protection laws and we are happy to be judged on the paperwork as much as the workmanship. Quotes are written, clear and itemised.
Insurance and buyer reports done properly
Storm claim, leak claim, or a house purchase you do not want to get wrong. We produce the detailed reports that decide these things, based on real evidence from the survey.
Red tape handled
Re-roofs and bigger alterations often touch planning rules and building controls. We manage both with the council so you never have to learn the jargon.
The drone goes up, always
It is the single biggest difference between us and a roofer quoting from the drive. Chimneys, ridges, valleys, flat roof edges and hard-to-reach slopes all get seen close up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is moss actually damaging my roof?
Yes, over time. Moss holds moisture against the tiles, lifts them at the laps when it freezes, and washes down to block the gutters. On older concrete tiles the moisture damage compounds the tiles' natural weathering.
Will removal damage my tiles?
Not the way we do it. We remove moss by hand with roof-safe methods, avoiding anything that strips the surface off weathered concrete tiles. The before-and-after drone photographs show the roof exactly as we left it.
Does the moss come back?
On shaded or tree-lined roofs, some regrowth is normal. We give you an honest maintenance interval rather than promising otherwise, and the after-treatment advice keeps the regrowth slow.
Do you clean the gutters as part of the job?
Yes. Moss that has washed into the gutters and downpipes is cleared as part of the work, at no extra cost, because a clear roofline is half the point.
Is the drone roof survey really free?
Yes. Every survey is free and carries no obligation. We fly the drone, show you exactly what we can see, and then quote from what the roof actually needs rather than a guess from the ground.
