The Property

A standard Hampshire detached bungalow with a concrete pantile roof. Single storey, uncomplicated access. The homeowner asked for a quote after seeing similar work on a neighbour’s property.

The Condition

Moderate moss build-up concentrated on the shaded (north-north-east) slope, with light-to-moderate organic staining across the rest. No damaged tiles visible from the ground survey. The gutters were partially blocked with moss debris that had already dropped naturally.

Why Bungalows Are Different

Bungalow jobs are often quicker and slightly cheaper than a two-storey semi of the same footprint, because access is straightforward and there’s no scaffolding or working-at-height uplift. That means the same standard of soft-wash treatment costs less to deliver — and gets passed on in the quote.

The Approach

Physical moss removal on the affected slope with a telescopic soft-brush system
Whole-roof biocide application via soft-wash at low pressure
Hand-scoop of both gutter runs, followed by a downpipe flush
Path and driveway washed down before departure

The Result

Roof restored to a clean, even finish in half a day. Biocide continues to work for 4–8 weeks after the visit, gradually removing the last of the surface algae. Under the partner’s 5-year guarantee, the finish should hold cleanly for that period.

Typical Cost

Bungalows of this size typically fall in the £400–£620 range, before any moss surcharge. Because the moss coverage here was moderate rather than severe, no surcharge was needed. Your exact quote is confirmed by the matched partner after photos.
