Moss holds moisture against tiles, can lift tile edges and washes into gutters and downpipes. Removing it carefully improves drainage and lets us check the roof's condition at the same time.
We avoid aggressive methods that can damage older tiles. The approach depends on the tile type and condition.

Roof cleaning and moss removal: common questions
Is pressure washing bad for roofs?
High pressure can damage some tiles and force water under them. We choose a method suitable for your roof.
Will moss come back?
Shaded roofs will see regrowth over time; treatment can slow it.
Do you check for damage while cleaning?
Yes, and we'll let you know about any slipped or broken tiles.
