Roof Cleaning in Reading
Moss and algae growth on Reading roofs is most pronounced on north-facing pitches in the tree-lined residential streets of Caversham and Tilehurst, where shade and moisture create ideal conditions for biological growth. Legacy Roofing soft-washes roofs across Reading — scraping heavy deposits and applying a low-pressure biocide wash to kill residual spores, with a follow-up algaecide treatment where regrowth is a persistent issue.
Concrete tile roofs on Reading's post-war estates — the avenues of Whitley and the cul-de-sacs of Southcote — tend to accumulate moss faster than the smoother Welsh slate on the Victorian stock. We see significant growth on north-facing pitches in streets with mature tree canopy overhead.

Roof Cleaning in Reading — FAQs
Our soft-wash approach does not. High-pressure washing can lift tiles and mortar — we use low-pressure biocide cleaning specifically to avoid this.
Treatment duration varies with the exposure and shade of the roof. Most treatments remain effective for several years before regrowth becomes significant.
Moss growth alone does not indicate a roof needs replacing. After cleaning we assess the condition of the tiles and give you an honest view of the roof's remaining life.
