Protecting Your Roof Structure
Moss, lichen, and liverwort retention on roof tiles acts like a sponge, absorbing substantial water weight and transferring moisture into structural battens. During winter freeze-thaw cycles, trapped water expands, causing tile spalling, cracking, and eventual roof leaks.
Our roof maintenance service focuses on gentle manual scrape reduction rather than power washing, ensuring tile glazes remain intact while guttering systems are cleared of debris.
Service Deliverables
- Manual Moss Scraping: Hand-scraping tiles using profile-matched blades to remove thick moss blankets without disturbing tile seating or damaging underlayment.
- Long-Acting Biocide Wash: Spraying a professional-grade residual biocide across the roof plane to sanitize microscopic spores and prevent rapid re-growth.
- Gutter & Downpipe Clearance: Full clearance of all roofline guttering, valley gutters, and downpipes to restore unhindered water drainage.
- Rope Access Support: Safe access solutions for tall, steep, or complex roof geometries without the overhead cost of full scaffolding where appropriate.
