Why it matters

Moss holds water

Moss grows thick on the shady side of a roof. It holds water against the tiles, can lift them over time, and washes down into the gutters and blocks them.

We scrape the moss off the tiles by hand rather than pressure washing, which can damage tiles and force water underneath.

When the roof is clear, we clear the gutters of what fell in and can apply a treatment that keeps the moss from coming back as quickly.

How roof moss removal works

The same four steps every visit.

1

We look first

We check the roof and the tiles and tell you what we can and can’t do safely.

2

Moss scraped off

The moss is taken off the tiles by hand, working down the roof.

3

Gutters cleared

Everything that falls into the gutters is cleared out and bagged.

4

Treated and tidied

A moss treatment can go on to slow regrowth, and we tidy the ground below.

Good to know

No pressure washing

Blasting tiles can crack them and push water under. Hand removal is slower but kinder to the roof.

Any time of year

Moss can be removed most of the year, as long as the roof is dry enough to work on safely.

Tiles we look after

Concrete and clay tiles are both fine. We’ll tell you if a roof isn’t suitable.

Common questions

Will moss removal damage my roof?

Removing it by hand is gentle on the tiles. If we see any cracked or slipped tiles we’ll tell you so they can be fixed.

How long before the moss comes back?

It depends on shade and trees. With a treatment, most roofs stay clear for several years.

Do you clean the gutters as well?

Yes. Clearing the gutters afterwards is part of the job, because that’s where the moss ends up.

Do I need to be in?

Not usually. We’ll let you know the day before when we’re coming.
