Roof moss removal clears moss and lichen from tiles and treats the surface to slow regrowth. Moss holds moisture against the roof and can block gutters as it breaks away, so removing it helps keep the roof and drainage working properly.

We choose the method to suit your tiles, usually low-pressure soft cleaning with a biocidal treatment, sometimes with careful scraping. We avoid high-pressure jetting on roofs because it can damage tiles. We confirm the method at the free assessment.

High-pressure washing can damage roof tiles, so it is not our usual choice; our guide explains why a pressure washer is risky on a roof. Soft cleaning uses low pressure with a biocidal treatment that treats the moss and protects the surface.

Regrowth depends on shade, nearby trees, roof pitch and how damp the area is. Our treatment is applied to slow it coming back, but moss can return over time on shaded roofs. We can advise on what to expect for your roof.

The price depends on roof size, pitch, access, how much moss is present and whether a cherry picker is needed. See our roof cleaning cost guide for what affects it, or ask for a free quote and know the cost before work starts.

Not always. Where roof height, pitch or access makes it safer, we can use cherry picker hire. We confirm what your roof needs at the free on-site assessment and include it in your quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
