Wargrave, Berkshire
Roof Cleaning in Wargrave
Period roofing materials in Wargrave — natural slate and clay plain tile — benefit from careful cleaning rather than aggressive treatment. Legacy Roofing soft-washes roofs in Wargrave with a gentle biocide approach that removes moss and lichen without dislodging slates or lifting clay tile nibs, and applies a residual algaecide to slow regrowth.
Lichen growth on natural slate in Wargrave's conservation area is a specific concern — lichen embeds chemically into the slate surface and requires a biocide treatment to kill it before it can be removed, rather than simply scraping, which damages the slate face. Our soft-wash approach addresses this correctly.

Roof Cleaning in Wargrave — 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.
