Roofs that receive less sunlight are highly prone to moss growth, especially in the UK climate.
Moss retains large amounts of water. When wet, moss can weigh up to five times more than when dry, placing additional stress on roof tiles and fixings.
This can lead to:
• Cracked and brittle tiles during freezing conditions
• Blocked gutters and drainage systems
• Water ingress and damp issues
• Reduced lifespan of roof coverings
• Expensive repairs if left untreated
Routine roof maintenance protects your property and extends the life of your roof.
Roof tile manufacturers generally do not recommend routine pressure washing as the primary cleaning method.
Instead, best practice focuses on:
• Careful manual moss removal
• Low-pressure softwash biocide treatment
• Preventing regrowth and long-term damage
Our cleaning process follows this manufacturer-aligned approach to ensure your roof is treated safely and responsibly.
Safety is the priority in all roof cleaning work.
We carry out a full site assessment and provide:
• Risk Assessments & Method Statements (RAMS)
• Safe Systems of Work
• Appropriate access equipment (MEWPs / scaffold towers)
We never walk on roofs unnecessarily and always select the safest working method for your property.
We carefully remove moss using specialist roof scrapers designed specifically for each tile type.
Depending on the property, work is completed safely using:
• Cherry pickers (MEWPs)
• Scaffold towers
• Specialist access equipment
This allows safer access and a more thorough clean.
After moss removal, we apply a professional softwash biocide treatment.
This treatment:
• Kills remaining moss, algae and lichen
• Eliminates spores and root systems
• Prevents rapid regrowth
• Disinfects the roof surface
Over time, remaining organic staining naturally breaks down and disappears, leaving the roof clean and protected.
Our biocide is fully licensed, biodegradable and designed for exterior surface cleaning with minimal environmental impact.
We are committed to protecting the environment and surrounding areas during our work.
We carry out Environmental Impact Assessments where required and take steps to:
• Control chemical use and runoff
• Protect surrounding landscaping and drainage systems
• Use licensed, biodegradable treatments
• Collect and dispose of waste responsibly
All waste removed from site is handled in accordance with our Environment Agency Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence.
