Roof and gutter care in Gateshead

Trees, valleys and moss

A lot of Gateshead is green: wooded valleys around Chopwell and Rowlands Gill, mature trees along the streets of Low Fell and Whickham, and hillside estates with gardens that back onto woodland. That makes it a borough where gutters fill quickly in autumn and north facing roofs gather moss that stays damp for most of the year.

Roof moss here is often thick enough to need scraping before any wash will reach the tile surface. Once the heavy layer is off, we soft wash, low pressure wash or steam clean what remains, gather up the fallen moss from gutters and paths, and apply a treatment intended to keep regrowth back for up to three years.

Planning around the season

If trees overhang your roof, booking the gutter clear after the last leaves have dropped gets the most out of a single visit. Some tree lined houses suit two clears a year. We will tell you which applies once we have seen how full the runs are on camera.
