Why Wilpshire roofs grow moss so fast
Wilpshire runs up the hill from Whalley Road to the top of Wilpshire Moor at around 770 feet, and on the other side the ground drops steeply to Showley Brook. Homes high on the moor side take the wind and rain straight off the top. Homes down towards the brook sit in the shade and the damp of the clough. Either way a roof stays wet, and wet slate or tile is where moss, algae and lichen take hold. Left alone, moss holds water against the roof, and frost cracks the tiles and lifts the ridges.

How we clean a Wilpshire roof
The heavy moss comes off first, by hand scraper or low-pressure steam, whichever suits the roof, and we keep our weight off the tiles. The gutters are cleared of everything that falls and the downpipes are flushed. Then a DDAC biocide goes over the whole roof, because that is what stops the regrowth. Before and after photos are included. See our roof cleaning page for the method in full.
What does roof cleaning cost in Wilpshire?

Roof cleaning in Wilpshire: what you need to know
Part of our Blackburn round
Wilpshire is on the A666 just north of Blackburn, between Brownhill and Langho, and we work right along that road. We come and look at the roof before we quote rather than pricing it off a photo, and the price is fixed before any work begins.
A village built for the commute
Wilpshire was farmland with no factories. It grew once the railway station and the Blackburn to Clitheroe road made it an easy place to live while working in Blackburn, and the Victorian history of the county describes the "many good residences" that went up as a result. If your house sits among mature trees, the shade and falling leaves both feed moss and block gutters.
Bigger roofs, more to look after
A larger detached house has more roof, more ridge and more valleys, and the valleys and the shaded side are where moss builds up first. If your roof is slate we keep the pressure low, because high pressure strips the surface and blows out the ridge mortar. If it is concrete interlocking tile, which is softer and more porous, we are even gentler and let the biocide do the work. We check which you have before we quote.
Why a scrape on its own is money wasted
A scrape for a couple of hundred pounds makes the roof look sorted for a season, then it comes back worse. Scraping removes the moss you can see and leaves the spores and roots in the surface of the tile. Every roof we do gets a DDAC biocide across the whole surface, and every one carries a 2-year no-moss guarantee.
Everything is fixed price and written down before we start. See roof cleaning for the full method, gutter cleaning if the gutters need doing at the same time, or our reviews for what people locally say about the work.

“My house is Victorian with a complicated roof structure.Peter managed to reach every nook and cranny to remove the moss which had badly accumulated on the North elevation of the building.The final result is impressive and I am sure will have added to the value of the house when we come to downsize next year. A difficult job well done.Thanks”
Wilpshire roof cleaning FAQs
What will a roof clean cost me in Wilpshire?
From £450 for a terraced house, £550 to £900 for a semi and £850 to £1,500 for a detached. Moss removal, biocide and the 2-year no-moss guarantee are included, and the price is fixed before we start.
Do you cover Ramsgreave, Salesbury and Brownhill?
Yes, along with Langho, Billington and Copster Green. They are all on our Blackburn round.
We have big trees near the house. Will the moss come straight back?
Shade and leaf litter do make it come back faster, which is why the biocide matters. Trimming back anything overhanging the roof helps it last, and we will tell you if we think it is needed.
Our house is a large detached with several roof slopes. Can you reach it all?
Yes. Valleys and the north-facing slopes are usually the worst, and we price the whole roof, not just the front.
How often will a Wilpshire roof need doing?
Typically every three to five years, sooner under trees. Every treatment carries our 2-year no-moss guarantee.
Do you clear the gutters too?
Yes. Gutters are cleared and downpipes flushed on every roof clean, because everything we take off the roof ends up in them.
