Moss Removal for East Ham Terraces
The long Edwardian terraces of East Ham were built close together, with rear outriggers that sit only a short distance from the next house’s. Those narrow gaps get little direct sunlight, so the small slopes and valleys over the back additions stay damp and are often the mossiest parts of the roof. Ashlar Roofing carries out roof moss removal across E6 and the London Borough of Newham, and on these houses we pay particular attention to the back.
Where a terrace has been retiled in concrete, moss settles readily on the textured surface. On roofs that still carry slate, moss is usually lighter, but lichen and debris collect where slates overlap. In both cases, growth that builds up along the lower edge of the slope ends up in the gutter, and a blocked gutter on a terrace often overflows onto the wall of the house next door.
Central Park and the trees in East Ham’s larger gardens add leaves to the mix in autumn, which is when many gutters and valleys fill.

Landlords, Rented Homes and Keeping Gutters Clear
Many East Ham houses are let, and moss is easy to miss when nobody living in the house looks at the roof. Landlords and letting agents can book a clean from photos and arrange access through the tenant. We send before and after photos, so the work can be checked without a visit.
For rented homes, a clean every few years, alongside a gutter clear, is a practical way to stop small problems turning into damp patches inside. It is also an opportunity to spot slipped tiles or loose ridges before they leak.
We do not use pressure washers. Moss is removed by hand and the biocide applied with care, keeping runoff away from gardens and paths below.
What's included
What a Roof Moss Removal Visit Covers
The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.
- Moss lifted off by hand with scrapers and brushes, working down the slope so tiles are not forced up.
- No pressure washing, which can strip tile surfaces and drive water under the laps.
- A biocide treatment over the cleaned roof to kill remaining spores and slow regrowth.
- Valleys, hips and ridges cleared, as moss gathers where water runs slowest.
- Gutters, outlets and downpipes cleared of the moss washed into them.
- Photos of any slipped, cracked or loose tiles found while we are on the roof.
