Roof Maintenance in Guildford, Woking & across Surrey
Many of us forget about our roofs on a day-to-day basis. After all, they’re just part of the building’s overall structure and easy to put out of mind. Failure to regularly check and maintain your roof can lead to more serious problems later down the line. Here at AP Benson Roofing & Building, we recommend an annual inspection of your roof to make sure your tiles, slates, leadwork, and roofline are all in good condition. Spotting potential faults early reduces the risk of more significant damage, saving you time, stress, and money.
Roof Cleaning
Roofs can easily become dirty over time, being exposed to the elements 24 hours a day. Dirt can come from smoke, fallen leaves, bird droppings, and general muck and detritus. If allowed to build up, not only does it make your property look unsightly, it can also damage the roof itself. We can get your roof looking as good as new, as well as cleaning out gutters, drainpipes, and other attachments to prevent them from overflowing.
Moss Rid Cleaning
Moss and other bio-organisms, such as algae and lichen, can seriously damage natural slate, ceramic tiles, and wooden roof timbers if they’re allowed to get a foothold on your roof. These common types of wild vegetation get into the smallest cracks and joins in your roof and, as they grow, can loosen tiles and slates, splinter wood, crumble mortar, and more. Our effective moss rid cleaning service gets rid of these unwanted organisms, extending the life of your roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of the most common queries we encounter across Guildford and the surrounding areas.
Yes. Moss acts like a sponge, holding moisture against your tiles. In winter, this water freezes and expands, which can crack tiles and cause the nib (the part holding the tile to the batten) to snap.
We generally advise against high-pressure washing as it can damage the surface of concrete tiles and force water into the roof space. We prefer manual scraping followed by a chemical moss rid treatment.
This is a professional-grade biocidal treatment applied after the bulk of the moss is removed. It soaks into the tiles to kill off microscopic spores, preventing the moss from returning for a much longer period.
We recommend a professional maintenance check at least once a year, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have fallen, to ensure your drainage is clear before the winter rains.
Yes. If gutters overflow, water can track back into the soffits or soak into the brickwork, eventually leading to damp patches on internal walls and rotting your roof rafters.
