IS MOSS DAMAGING YOUR ROOF?
Moss acts like a sponge. A single patch can hold 20x its weight in water. In winter, this wet moss freezes and expands, causing 'Frost Shatter'—where tiles crack and break.
WHY LEICESTER HOMES STRUGGLE WITH ROOF MOSS
Leicester’s climate and urban environment create a perfect storm for roof decay.
Whether your property is in the leafy suburbs of Stoneygate or the more traditional residential areas of Oadby and Knighton, moss growth is a persistent local issue.
Properties across Leicestershire are often affected by a specific microclimate of shade and damp. Mature trees in established neighbourhoods prevent roof tiles from drying out, creating the ideal breeding ground for thick moss, lichen, and algae.
-
The Problem: Overhanging trees common in Leicester's residential streets drop sap and spores directly onto your roof tiles, accelerating moss growth in the damp East Midlands air.
-
The Risk: During winter, saturated moss undergoes a destructive "freeze-thaw" cycle. As it expands, it causes frost shatter, which can delaminate slate or snap the edges of traditional clay Rosemary tiles commonly found on Leicester homes.
At Eazi Cleaning Solutions, we specialise in removing this moss safely using low-pressure steam. This preserves the structural integrity and character of your property without the aggressive damage caused by high-pressure industrial jets.

PRESSURE WASHING VS STEAM CLEANING
Manual Moss Removal vs. Steam Cleaning: Which is Best?
When searching for roof cleaning in Leicester, you will often see different methods advertised. At Eazi Cleaning Solutions, we specialise in the two safest techniques approved for UK tiles:
1. Roof Steam Cleaning (The Premium Choice) This is our most popular service for roof moss removal in Leicestershire. We use a specialist low-pressure steam system (not a high-pressure washer) that operates at 150°C. This superheated steam cuts through lichen, black spots, and moss instantly, killing the spores at the root. It restores the natural colour of clay and concrete tiles without the abrasive damage caused by standard pressure washing.
2. Manual Moss Removal (Roof Scraping) For older or fragile roofs (such as those found on period properties in Knighton or Oadby), we offer a dry manual roof scraping service. We use profile-cut scrapers that match the exact shape of your tile to gently lift moss away. This is followed by a soft wash biocide treatment, which soaks into the tile to kill remaining spores and prevent regrowth for years.
OUR 4-STAGE PROCESS
THE EAZI CLEAN STANDARD
A clean roof transforms the look of your home, but at Eazi Cleaning Solutions, we believe in a complete service. That is why every roof clean includes a free gutter clearance and fascia and soffit cleaning as standard, ensuring your roofline looks as good as your tiles.
We pride ourselves on leaving your property tidier than we found it. Our comprehensive cleanup process includes rinsing down your rendered areas, as well as a full wash-down of your driveway and patio to remove any fallen debris. We even include window cleaning to remove splashback, leaving your entire exterior sparkling.
Note: All moss is bagged up neatly on-site. We can arrange full waste removal for a small additional fee, or leave the bags for your own disposal—the choice is yours.

Why Is Roof Moss Removal Important for Your Home?
Many homeowners think moss on the roof is just a cosmetic issue, but in the UK climate, it can cause structural damage. Moss acts like a giant sponge; a single patch can hold up to 20 times its weight in water.
During a Leicestershire winter, this wet moss freezes and expands. This process, known as 'frost shatter,' can snap concrete tiles and delaminate natural slate. Furthermore, as moss grows, it pushes tiles apart, creating gaps where water can enter your loft.
By booking a professional roof cleaning service, you aren't just making your house look better; you are extending the lifespan of your roof by decades and preventing expensive gutter blockages caused by falling debris.
