Roofing & property care in Hemingbrough
Hemingbrough is a village just off the A63, about five miles east of Selby and four miles from Howden. Its landmark is St Mary the Virgin, a Grade I listed church whose 15th-century spire, around 120 feet tall, can be seen for miles across the flat Humberhead Levels. The River Ouse once ran right by the village, until it broke through a meander and took a new course further away.
With around two thousand residents, the village has a large number of roofs of very different ages. Advanced Property Care cleans roofs and removes moss in Hemingbrough for homeowners and landlords. We assess the roof, choose a cleaning method suited to the material and its condition, and provide a written quote with photos. If a treatment alone will do, we will not sell you a full clean.

Roofs in Hemingbrough: what we look out for
Hemingbrough has a mix of older brick houses and cottages near the church and main street, along with post-war and modern estates. Roofs include clay pantiles, slate and concrete interlocking tiles. Concrete tiles, common on newer homes, have a textured surface that holds moss in thick cushions along each tile edge, while older clay and slate roofs show lichen and dark algae streaks.
The low, flat land around the village brings damp air and frequent mist, especially in autumn and winter. Trees in gardens and around the churchyard shade roofs and drop leaves. Moss holds moisture against tiles, which can lead to frost damage when temperatures drop, and as it thickens it lifts tile edges and washes into gutters, causing blockages and overflow down the walls. Homes along the A63 also pick up traffic grime that mixes with algae and darkens tiles and rooflines over time.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal for Hemingbrough homes
Our roof cleaning service in Hemingbrough removes moss by hand using scrapers and brushes, avoiding high-pressure washing that can damage tile surfaces or force water into the roof. After clearing, we apply a biocide treatment to kill remaining spores and algae and slow regrowth. On estate homes with concrete tiles, this usually makes a marked difference to how the roof looks and how well it sheds water.
We clear moss debris from gutters and downpipes before leaving. While on the roof, we check for cracked or slipped tiles, loose ridges and worn flashings and include these in our report, with before and after photos. If the roof has been cleaned before with a pressure washer, we check carefully for damage that may have been left behind and explain what we find.

Questions from Hemingbrough homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Is roof cleaning worth it on a modern concrete tile roof?
Concrete tiles are prone to heavy moss, which holds water, can lift tiles and regularly blocks gutters. Cleaning and treating the roof helps prevent those problems and improves appearance, which matters if you are selling. We also check the tiles for damage while we are working.
Can moss removal damage my roof?
Careless pressure washing can strip tile surfaces and push water under laps. We use hand removal and gentle methods, working with the direction of the tiles. If we find existing damage, such as cracked tiles or a loose ridge, we note it and can offer repairs at the same time.
How often does a roof need cleaning?
It varies with shade, trees and location. Many roofs benefit from cleaning and treatment every few years. In damp spots or under heavy shade, a periodic biocide treatment between full cleans helps keep moss under control and is usually less disruptive than letting it build up.
Do you also clean the gutters and fascias?
We always clear gutters after roof cleaning, since that is where the loosened moss ends up. We can also clean UPVC fascias and soffits if they have turned green or grubby, which is a worthwhile addition when the roof itself has just been cleaned.
