Roof cleaning and moss removal in Sleaford
Moss stripped and roofs cleaned down, with the process explained before you commit and a free quote in writing.
Stand on the right street in Sleaford and you can pick out the north-facing roof slopes without a compass: they are the green ones. Moss loves a slope that rarely sees the sun, and in the damp air that sits over this fen country it gets everything it needs to spread.
Why moss takes hold here
Moss needs moisture and shade, and a north-facing slope offers both all year round. The town's mix does not help: older stone and brick buildings have rougher surfaces that give moss an easy grip, while concrete tiles on the newer estates hold moisture in their texture. Once a colony starts, it seeds the slope around it and thickens each winter.
Why it is worth dealing with
- Moss holds water against the tiles, so frost has something to work on all winter
- Clumps slide off and block gutters and downpipes
- Thick growth lifts at tile edges, and wind does the rest
- A green, patchy roof drags down the look of the whole house

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.
Brilliant work! Reasonable price a friendly. Recommend to anyone. Sorted out my roof after 3 companies turned me down.
Amazing roof repair everything finished to a high standard,good communication and reasonable priced would definetly recommend.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in Sleaford: common questions
Why is the moss so much worse on one side of my roof?
That will be the north-facing slope. It gets the least sun, so it stays damp longest, and in the moist air that hangs over the fens around Sleaford a damp, shaded slope is perfect growing ground. The sunny side dries out too fast for moss to get comfortable.
What does moss removal cost on a Sleaford roof?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how thick the growth is and how we can reach it, so we quote after looking rather than before. Looking costs nothing, the quote is written down, and the written figure is the one you pay.
Will cleaning damage the tiles on my Sleaford roof?
Done carelessly, roof cleaning can. That is why we explain the process step by step at the quote visit, exactly as we did for one customer who mentioned it in their review, so you know what will and will not be happening to your roof before you agree to anything.
Will the moss come back on my Sleaford roof?
Over enough years, on a shaded slope, moss will always try again: no honest roofer will promise otherwise. What you get from us is a properly stripped and cleaned roof, a photographic record of its condition, and a straight conversation about what to expect from your particular slopes.
