THE PROBLEM & SOLUTION
Moss removal is crucial to protect your roof, patios, and driveways. Heavy moss buildup acts like a wet sponge resting directly on your roof, holding moisture against tiles during damp UK winters. When temperatures drop, this trapped water freezes and expands, causing concrete and slate tiles to crack, crumble, and lose their weather-resistant coating. Over time, falling moss constantly clogs gutters and downpipes.
To make matters worse, many contractors use high-pressure jet washing to clean roofs. Jet washing strips the protective surface layer off tiles, damages fragile mortar pointing, and forces gallons of high-pressure water underneath the roofline into loft insulation.
At ClearLight Property Care, we never use pressure washers on your roof. We remove all moss 100% by hand using specialist scraper blades contoured to your exact tile profile, attached to telescopic poles.
Once scraped clean, we clear all gutters and downpipes, valet your exterior uPVC, and apply a professional BAC50 biocide soft-wash treatment. This chemical kills remaining microscopic spores at the root, restores original tile tone over time, and with simple maintenance every 6–12 months, you can keep your roof looking its best and typically won’t need another full treatment for 3 to 5 years.
WHY CHOOSE CLEARLIGHT PROPERTY CARE?
We believe in thorough, honest roof care that protects your property for the long haul. We take immense pride in working with meticulous attention to detail while up on the roof – ensuring every nook, tile join, and edge is carefully cleared without causing structural harm.
We take photos before, during, and after the job so you can inspect the results safely from the ground. Above all, we respect your garden and walkways: we bag up and take away every last piece of fallen moss, leaving your home spotless.

FAQS
What additional maintenance and painting services does ClearLight Property Care offer?
Beyond our core roof and timber care, we offer complete interior and exterior house painting, soffit and fascia painting, outbuilding and cabin repainting, groundwork, decorative gravelling, garden bordering, conservatory roof and frame valeting, and general home repairs. If you have a specific job in mind that isn’t listed, simply ask us!
Why is regular maintenance like conservatory cleaning, exterior painting, and groundwork important for my property?
Regular exterior upkeep prevents small issues from deteriorating into costly structural problems. Fresh paint seals timber and render against British rainwater, regular groundwork stops weed takeover and soil erosion, and conservatory cleaning prevents algae from ruining rubber roof seals and cutting off natural sunlight.
What types of exterior painting do you carry out, and how do you prepare surfaces?
We paint exterior masonry, uPVC, timber cladding, window frames, doors, soffits, fascias, sheds, and garden cabins. To ensure a long-lasting finish, we thoroughly prepare all surfaces first—cleaning away dirt and algae, scraping flaking paint, and filling or sanding wood so the weather-resistant paint adheres perfectly.
Can you help with garden groundwork, gravelling, and bordering?
Yes! We provide light groundwork, ground leveling, weed membrane fitting, and decorative gravelling for driveways, garden paths, and seating areas. We also install clean timber or stone bordering to define garden beds and keep your outdoor layout looking sharp and low-maintenance.
What does a full conservatory valeting service include?
Our conservatory valeting includes thorough manual cleaning of glass or polycarbonate roof panels, clearing all internal box gutters and valleys, wiping down downpipes, and detailing uPVC or aluminium frames to remove green algae, bird droppings, and stubborn streak stains.

We pride ourselves on providing comprehensive property support across Hampshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire. Simply get in touch, describe what you need, and we will let you know how we can help.
