Professional roof moss removal - heavy moss growth cleared without damaging tiles. Your roof looking better, draining properly, and protected for longer.
That Green Roof Isn't Character
Moss on roofs looks cottagecore but causes problems. It holds moisture, blocks gutters, and can damage tiles over time. Worth clearing properly.
💡 Pro tip: Treat the roof after moss removal. Kills remaining spores and significantly delays regrowth. Much better value than cleaning alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does moss damage roof tiles?
Over time yes. Moss holds moisture, roots work into tile edges, and can lift tiles. It also blocks water flow to gutters. Worth addressing before damage occurs.
Do you use pressure washers on roofs?
Carefully and appropriately. Some roofs handle pressure fine, others don't. We assess tile type and condition first. Wrong pressure damages tiles and forces water under.
How long will a clean roof stay clean?
Depends on position and surroundings. Shaded roofs moss up faster. Treatment after cleaning extends time significantly - often 3-5 years before regrowth.
Is roof cleaning safe?
For us, yes - we have appropriate equipment and experience. Not recommended as DIY - heights are dangerous and tiles can be slippery. Plus easy to damage tiles without knowledge.
