Moss Removal

Protects the tiles. Gets the roof breathing again.

Moss holds water against the tile surface. Over time it weakens the tile, blocks the gutter, and makes the roof look ten years older than it is. Getting it off is straightforward. Getting it off without damaging the tiles takes a gentler hand.

A/The Detail

How we do this job properly.

01

Why not a pressure washer

High pressure water strips the sand finish off concrete tiles, drives water under the laps, and causes more problems than the moss ever did. We hand scrape, soft brush, and treat with a biocide that kills the spores and stops regrowth.

02

Debris and gutters

Every moss job ends with the gutters cleared and flushed. Moss that went in the gutter stays out of it.

03

After treatment

The tiles go back to their natural colour over the first few rains. The biocide keeps the roof clear for a good few years. A recoat down the line extends that further.

B/Questions

Before you call, the quick answers.

Q.01

Will the moss grow back?

Eventually yes, because spores are airborne. The biocide slows it down massively. Most houses get a clean every five to seven years after that.

Q.02

Does it need scaffolding?

Edge protection or a tower for anything above a bungalow. We don't work off ladders on a pitched roof, full stop.

Q.03

Can you do it without chemicals?

We can hand scrape only, but the growth comes back quicker because the spores are still there. The biocide is the part that actually makes it last.
