Roof Cleaning Kent

Why Kent roofs need specialist cleaning

Kent is known as the Garden of England, and its mild, damp climate suits moss as well as crops. Mature trees and sheltered valleys shade many roofs, so tiles stay wet for long periods. As a result, moss, algae and lichen settle on tile and slate across the county.

The High Weald around Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge is heavily wooded, and the High Weald National Landscape says woodland covers nearly a third of its area. Meanwhile the Medway towns sit beside the estuary, and the coast from Folkestone to Dover takes Channel weather. Each setting causes the same problem in a different way.

The housing varies as much as the weather. Kent has Victorian terraces, post-war semis, oast houses and farm cottages, and each roof type needs its own approach. For example, old peg tile needs a gentler mix than modern concrete.
