Pressure Washing Herne Bay & Whitstable

Patios, drives, paths, fencing, roof tiles. Coastal salt air means heavy moss and algae in this area. Before and after results are dramatic — and the before photos speak for themselves.

Block Paving

Moss Before Treatment — Whitstable

Block paving in Whitstable virtually invisible under thick bright green moss. The moss had grown to significant height in all the joints between blocks, covering most of the stone surface. Wet conditions made the surface extremely slippery.

Moss this thick is a serious slip hazard — particularly on sloped driveways and steps. After treatment the block paving was cleaned back to the original surface throughout.

Roof Tiles

Moss on Roof Tiles — Tankerton

Close-up of concrete interlocking roof tiles in Tankerton heavily colonised by moss and algae. Green moss growing densely in all the joints, tile surface itself weathered and darkened.

Roof moss holds moisture against the tile surface and accelerates tile decay over time. Coastal properties in Tankerton, Herne Bay and Whitstable are disproportionately affected. Clearing it extends tile life and reduces the risk of blocked valleys and gutters below.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Do you do pressure washing in Herne Bay?

Yes. Herne Bay and Whitstable primarily. Coastal damp and salt air mean moss and algae establish quickly on patios, drives and roof tiles in this area.

Do you clean roof tiles?

Yes. Moss and lichen removal from concrete and clay roof tiles. Coastal properties are particularly prone — salt air, moisture and shade all accelerate growth.

Does pressure washing damage block paving or patios?

Not when done correctly. The right nozzle and working distance for the surface type makes the difference. Soft surfaces like old mortar joints need lower pressure — the approach is adjusted to the surface.

Do you treat after washing?

Algae inhibitor and biocide application after cleaning is available. This slows re-establishment of moss and algae on roof tiles and patios in shaded or damp positions.
