🧠 The £3,000 Mistake Most Homeowners Never See Coming
Let’s play a quick game:
When was the last time you looked up at your house?
Not the kitchen.
Not the new rug.
Not the fresh coat of paint in the hallway.
I’m talking about the roof.
The gutters.
The driveway.
The stuff outside, the stuff that’s silently falling apart.
Most homeowners don’t think about those things...
Until water’s pouring through the ceiling.
Until mould creeps across the walls.
Until they’re skating down the driveway on a frosty Monday morning.
And by then?
It’s already too late.
And the bill?
Usually somewhere between £1,500 and £3,000. Sometimes more.
“It’s Just a Bit of Moss” — The Lie That Costs Thousands
People brush it off.
“It’s just a few leaves.”
“A little moss never hurt anyone.”
“I’ll sort it out next weekend.”
Here’s the truth:
👉 Moss lifts your roof tiles and traps moisture
👉 Blocked gutters flood your walls and foundations
👉 Algae-covered driveways? Slip risks waiting to happen
👉 And all of it silently kills your home’s value
I’m not telling you this to scare you.
I’m telling you this because I’ve seen it.
More times than I’d like.
True Story From A Customer Who Learned the Hard Way
He was one of the rare ones, he got his roof cleaned every 6 months.
So I asked him why.
He looked me dead in the eye and said,
“I let it go for 5 years. Didn’t think it was that bad.”
Then one night, he hears water.
Not outside. Inside.
He sprints to the attic.
Trips over his own slippers.
And he saw it…
A stream of water cutting through his ceiling like a tap left on full blast.
£3,000 in damage.
Caused by moss.
He said his roof looked like the Amazon jungle.
Now?
He never misses a clean.
