MOSS
REMOVAL
Moss growing on a roof can directly reduce its longevity and structural integrity.
It can result in leaks and damage to the inside of your building as well.
By removing moss from a roof along with other debris such as algae and lichen it will allow the roof to function properly.
As a result, rain water will be able to run off the roof into the gutters through to the downspouts and away from the building.
When moss builds up on a roof it can:
- Act like a sponge and retains water
- When moss grows in between tiles & soaks up water then freezes, it will expand causing cracks in tiles
- Moss hinders rain water flowing freely off the roof
- Moss can also wash down into your gutters and collect there. Your roof and gutters can eventually sag under this extra weight, leading to further potential leaks and damaged joints.

Power washing is NOT an acceptable solution to get rid of moss! The high pressure used for this method is not specifically targeting the unwanted moss or other growths. Instead, it simply blasts the entire surface and strips off anything it comes into contact with, including protective layers that help your tiles to last longer.
Our process for moss removal is all about effectiveness and ongoing protection. We take a different approach compared to many companies who want to sell a one-off clean and are not interested in the long-term health of your roof.
Our Home Maintenance NI team will remove any excess mounds of moss from your roof by using handheld tools. The reason we remove the excess first is so it does not fall into your drainpipes or gutters and prevents them getting blocked up.
We use a safe formulation of cleaning chemicals, to kill bacteria and lichens, plus sanitising the surface to eliminate the chance of them growing back, which continues working for around 14 months after we have left your property, this means your roof will stay cleaner for longer.
