What Caversham's figures mean for your roof
These figures cover the Caversham built-up area as the Office for National Statistics maps it. The age and roof shares come from Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), so they count only the homes that have an EPC, not every home there.

Clay tile and slate roofsIf your roof is clay tile or slate, we clear the moss with a low-pressure soft wash. A high-pressure washer is never used on it: the force strips the surface and can lift slates. While the roof is cleaned, our team looks out for slipped or cracked tiles. If we spot any, we tell you and show you photos. We don't carry out repairs, so a roofer would fix them. Frost is the other thing to watch on an older clay roof. Water that soaks into a clay tile and freezes can make its surface flake or crumble over time, and older tiles are the most at risk. Tiles that are flaking, crumbling or slipping are a job for a roofer before the roof is cleaned. |

A wetter spot for mossA cleaned and treated roof usually stays clear for two to four years. Where more rain falls, moss comes back sooner, so a roof in Caversham may need cleaning nearer every two years than every four. |

Roofs in conservation areasIn a conservation area, an older roof is often still its original clay or slate. It gets a soft wash only, never a pressure washer, and every tile stays as it is. If your home is a listed building, check with the council before any work is done on its roof. Not every home in a conservation area is old, but if yours is older or historic, conservation guidance warns against spray-on roof coverings: they make leaks hard to trace and stop tiles being reused. We don't paint or coat roofs. A roof clean ends with a biocide, and a biocide is not a coating. |
