Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal
Removing moss and organic growth that traps moisture against tiles, holds water against the roof covering and can lift tiles over time.
About Our Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal Service
Moss and algae tend to establish on roofs that are shaded, north-facing, or sit under overhanging trees where organic debris collects in the valleys and gutters and stays damp for long periods. It looks cosmetic, but moss holds moisture directly against the roof covering far longer than an exposed, quick-drying tile would experience, and as it grows and thickens it can physically lift tiles at their edges and work into the gaps between them — turning a maintenance issue into a leak risk if left unaddressed for long enough. Removal is generally done by careful manual clearance rather than harsh pressure-washing, which can strip the protective granule coating off some tile types or force water under the covering; gutters and valleys are cleared at the same time, since that's usually where the debris that started the problem is collecting.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal — Frequently Asked Questions
It's more than cosmetic — moss holds moisture against the roof covering for much longer than a clean, exposed tile would experience, and as it thickens it can lift tiles at their edges. Left long enough, it becomes a genuine leak risk rather than just an appearance issue.
Shaded or north-facing roof slopes, and roofs under or near overhanging trees, stay damp for longer and collect more organic debris — both of which give moss and algae the conditions they need to establish.
It can — pressure-washing risks stripping the protective granule coating off some tile types and forcing water in under the covering. We generally recommend careful manual removal instead, and can advise on what's right for your specific roof.
