Roof cleaning in Hertfordshire: moss off, tiles checked, gutters cleared
Roof cleaning in Hertfordshire: moss taken off, tiles checked and the gutters cleared of everything that comes down. Ring Kieran on 07310 120341 or send the form for a free written quote.
Moss holds water against the tiles like a sponge. In winter that water freezes, and the frost cracks tiles and lifts their edges. In spring the moss washes into the gutters and blocks them. North-facing slopes and roofs under trees grow it fastest.
We take the moss and lichen off the tiles, clear everything that comes down out of the gutters and downpipes, and replace any cracked or slipped tiles we find underneath. You get back a roof that sheds water the way it was built to.
Moss is more than looks. A thick coat of it on a concrete-tiled roof on a Stevenage or Hemel Hempstead estate, or on old clay plain tiles in Harpenden or Hitchin, is water sitting on your roof all winter.

Roof cleaning and moss removal: your questions answered
How much does roof cleaning cost in Hertfordshire?
Across Hertfordshire, moss removal with the gutters cleared runs about £400 to £900 on a semi, and more on a detached house or a steep roof. Kieran's free written quote gives you the real figure.
Is moss bad for a roof?
Yes. It holds water against the tiles, frost then cracks them, and the moss blocks the gutters when it washes down.
Do you replace broken tiles while you are up there?
Yes. Any cracked or slipped tiles we find are shown to you and replaced.
How often does a roof need cleaning?
A roof under trees or facing north needs a clean every few years. An open, south-facing roof goes much longer.
Do you clean the gutters as part of it?
Yes. Everything that comes off the roof ends up in the gutters, so we clear them and the downpipes as part of the job.
Outstanding roofing company! I honestly can’t recommend KR & Sons Roofing & Guttering Ltd enough. From the first contact, they were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The whole team worked incredibly hard and the standard of their workmanship was brilliant. They were reliable, tidy and kept me informed throughout the job, and the finished roof looks absolutely fantastic. It’s not often you come across a company that takes this much pride in their work. I’m extremely happy with the result and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to family, friends or anyone looking for a top-quality roofing company. Fantastic team, fantastic workmanship and a fantastic service from start to finish!

Came to have a look at a blocked gutter on our terraced property. Turned up on time, was friendly and identified the problem and took time to explain to us the options. Really grateful - thank you so much!
I had a great experience with [kr&sonsroofingandgutteringltd]! From start to finish, their team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled.

Great quality work, effective clean up after and efficient communication throughout. Really good to get the run down of the work as it went along, and assurance with a gaurantee at the end
Highly recommend! Had an issue with my roof flashing after a storm, he was very quick to come out and have a look/quote. Work was carried out the following week and a further issue was found after work started, was very generous in supporting me with the added cost!
