Roof and gutter care in Gateshead

Gateshead borough runs from the Tyne down to Birtley and out west to Ryton and Chopwell. Its NE8 to NE11 districts are roughly five miles from us, and the site lists every ward we cover.

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.

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.

Roof moss removal in Gateshead

Hillside estates and shaded gardens across Gateshead make for roofs that rarely dry out, and moss loves that. We see roofs in Low Fell and Whickham where the growth is thick enough to lift the edges of the tiles.

The heavy layer is scraped away by hand first. The tiles are then cleaned by whichever of soft wash, low pressure wash or hot steam suits the covering, and the moss that comes down is cleared from the gutters and paths.

A treatment finishes the job, aimed at keeping regrowth off. Under overhanging trees it may come back sooner, and we will be straight with you about that.
