Free gutter clearance and free biocide on every Quedgeley roof clean. Olde Quedgeley, Naas Lane, Severn Vale, Kingsway, Hardwicke — all GL2.
Quedgeley is a south-Gloucester suburb that grew in waves — a small original village around St James church, then steady 1980s estate building off Naas Lane, a 1990s expansion that filled out toward Severn Vale, and the Kingsway development that's been adding houses on the southern edge for the best part of fifteen years. The result is a suburb where most properties were built within a thirty-year window using essentially the same materials. That matters for roof cleaning because it means the housing stock ages together. The same Marley and Redland concrete interlocking tiles that went on a thousand semis in 1992 are now all hitting the same moss-establishment age. We can drive into Quedgeley on a normal week and see whole streets at the same stage of moss build-up.
The Severn Vale climate makes that worse. Quedgeley sits low, on the floodplain side of the river, with morning mist rolling in off the Severn most months of the year. Mild winters mean moss never really stops growing — even January and February rarely give enough freezing weather to set spores back. Combine that with the textured surface of modern interlocking concrete tile (the texture exists to grip granular finish, but it also gives moss spores something to anchor to) and you get the green carpet effect that's now visible on most north-facing pitches across the suburb.
For homeowners that means the maintenance window matters. A roof in Quedgeley that's been left for fifteen years without cleaning is at the point where the moss is holding moisture against the tiles all year, and that's the stage where you start to lose tile life rather than just kerb appeal. A roof at five to seven years probably doesn't need us yet. A roof at twenty years almost certainly does — and on the older Olde Quedgeley properties with clay tile or slate, the conversation is slightly different again.
Quedgeley is concrete tile country, with an older clay and slate fringe in Olde Quedgeley.
Marley Mendip, Redland 49 and Redland Stonewold profiles dominate the streets off Naas Lane and into Severn Vale. Heavily textured, heavy moss-grip surfaces, all now 25 to 40 years old. We remove the bulk by hand from a tower or roof ladder, then biocide. Expect a noticeable colour shift over the few weeks after biocide cures — that's the algae dying back as it should.
Kingsway and the newer infill plots use flatter, smoother profile tiles — Sandtoft Calderdale, Marley Edgemere, Redland Cambrian Slate Grey. Less moss-grip, but enough that fifteen-year-old houses are starting to show streaking. Approach is the same: hand-clear what's there, then biocide. The newer roofs respond faster because the spore load is lower to start with.
The streets immediately around St James church and the older cottages off the original village core hold a small but meaningful pocket of clay plain tile. Brittle when wet — we don't walk these without a roof ladder hooked over the ridge. Hand-scrape and biocide, with extra care around hipped junctions and valleys where tiles are bedded with mortar.
A handful of older Victorian properties on the original village fringes carry Welsh slate roofs. Slates last a century or more; the issue is moss in the laps and rust streaking from chimney leadwork. Method: hand-clear the laps from a roof ladder, low-pressure rinse, biocide. Slate gets the gentlest end of our toolkit.
One of the things that makes Quedgeley distinctive for a roof cleaner is that the housing stock isn't varied in age. Whole estates went up in the same eighteen-month build cycle, with the same tile profile, the same pitch, the same orientation logic. That means the moss colonisation timeline runs in lockstep across hundreds of houses. We've cleaned individual roofs where the neighbour either side had identical moss build-up, because they were built the same year, faced the same way, and had the same trees blocking the morning sun.
For the homeowner, that's actually useful information. If your neighbour's roof is heavily mossed, yours probably is too — you just might not see it because it's above sight-line on a south-facing pitch. We can tell you within five minutes of arriving whether your roof is at the moss stage that's costing tile life or just the cosmetic stage that's making the house look tired. Both are worth dealing with, but the prioritisation is different.
The other implication is pricing. Because the estate stock is largely consistent — standard semi-detached layout, standard tile area, standard access — we can quote Quedgeley properties faster and tighter than we can quote on, say, a heritage Cheltenham villa. Most Quedgeley quotes go out same day from photos.
For most Quedgeley jobs we can quote from photos — the estate stock is consistent enough that a few clear shots tell us most of what we need. If we need a site visit, we still come up; that's part of doing the job properly. No hard sell, no pressure to book on the spot.
Heavy moss is removed by hand from a ladder or tower, gutters cleared at the same time. The textured 25-year-old concrete tile that covers most Quedgeley estates carries a thick mat of moss, and that mat has to be lifted off first — biocide can only reach the spores once the carpet on top is gone.
An approved biocide is applied at the correct dilution. It kills algae, lichen and remaining moss spores at the root, without high-pressure water touching the tiles. We sheet and rinse around planted borders, ponds, and the family-friendly back-garden setups that are common across Quedgeley.
The biocide keeps working after we've left, preventing regrowth for up to two years. Most Quedgeley customers don't need us back for a top-up before then.
Once we're set up on a Quedgeley roof we're committed to a few hours on it regardless, so running the gutters out while the ladder's already there barely adds to the day — and it's the biocide that buys you the two years. Neither is charged extra.
Get my Quedgeley quoteMost of Quedgeley is modern concrete-tile semis and detached houses on the 1980s–2000s estates with straightforward access, so a lot of these jobs sit in the middle of the range — but we still won't quote a flat rate over the phone, because every roof's different. To be straight with you, most roof cleans are £550–£950. A standard terrace or semi sits in that range; larger, steeper or more difficult roofs (heavy moss, awkward access, big detached houses) go up from there.
What moves the price:
Always included, never an add-on: a free gutter clear while we're up there, and the biocide that keeps moss off for up to two years.

No. Most Quedgeley housing is concrete interlocking tile (Marley, Redland, Sandtoft profiles), which can take a controlled pressure-wash where it's the right tool. Older Olde Quedgeley properties with clay tile or slate get hand-scrape and biocide only — pressure on those will damage the surface. The biocide is what stops the moss coming back, regardless of method.
Up to two years, often longer, because the biocide we apply keeps killing fresh spores after we've left site. Quedgeley sits low in the Severn Vale, so humidity is consistently high and the milder winters mean moss never fully stops growing. North-facing pitches will green up sooner than south-facing ones — but a proper biocide treatment is what gives you the long-lasting result.
Two reasons compound. First, the climate — low Severn Vale, high humidity, mild winters, and morning mist off the river. Second, the housing stock — most of Quedgeley was built between the 1980s and the 2000s, so the bulk of it is now between 20 and 40 years old. That's the prime moss age for concrete interlocking tile: long enough for spores to colonise the textured surface, not so long that the tiles need replacing. We see whole streets at the same moss stage at the same time.
Yes — Olde Quedgeley around St James church, the older 1980s estates off Naas Lane, the 1990s expansion around Severn Vale, the Kingsway development on the southern edge, and into Hardwicke just south. Same pricing across the GL2 footprint, no extra travel charge.
Three reasons. Tile life — moss holds moisture against the surface, accelerating freeze-thaw damage and shortening the working life of the roof. Gutters — moss sheds and washes into the gutters, blocking them and pushing water down the wall instead of away from the house, which on rendered modern semis shows up fast as damp staining. Insurance and resale — some insurers query roofs visibly covered in growth, and a clean roof is a quiet but real factor in kerb appeal when selling, particularly on Quedgeley's family-market estates where curb appeal sells the house. The cost of cleaning is a fraction of replacing tiles or repointing ridges.
No roof stays clear forever — spores are always airborne — but treating the cause keeps it clear for years not months: we scrape or soft-wash the moss off, then apply a biocide that carries on killing spores for up to two years. Pressure-washing alone just removes what you can see — it's back next autumn. Biocide (plus, on the right surfaces, a sealant) is the longest-lasting answer.
Spring (March–May) and early autumn are ideal — dry enough for the biocide to bond, and it sets the roof up before the damp months when moss grows fastest. We clean year-round, though; the biocide works whenever it's applied in dry conditions.
Depends on the tile. Modern interlocking concrete tiles can take a controlled low-pressure wash where it's the right tool; Welsh slate, Cotswold stone and old clay should never be pressure-washed — it strips the surface, cracks tiles and forces water underneath. On those we hand-scrape and treat with biocide. We always tell you the method first.

Blake and Daniel cleaned my patio and path at the front and did a great job. They were friendly and professional and explained well what they were going to do. I also had a bad dark patch which came up really well which others had failed to remove. I would definitely recommend them if like me you have a patio or driveway that badly needs a thorough clean

We had excellent service from start to finish. The guys were very professional, discussed everything over the phone initially then a visit with the drone to allow accurate quarter and expectation management. On the day they were considerate with the neighbours, did a wonderful job with the roof and gutters and cleared up so well that everything looked far better than when they started. Cannot recommend more highly.

Really impressed with Aquapro Roof cleaning. Very professional guys that done such a good job, that it looks like I’ve had a new roof installed, (after 40yrs of dirt and moss). Blake talked me through everything in detail, and answered any questions I had. Showed me the end result with his drone footage and left house clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
