Manual roof moss removal — clear tiles, restore drainage.

Why moss is worth removing
Left in place, moss traps rainwater against tiles and can clog valleys and gutters. Removing it by hand — rather than blasting it off — clears the roof without forcing water underneath the tiles.
After removal we recommend a softwash and biocide follow-up, which helps slow the return of moss, algae and lichen.
Our process
A careful, methodical approach designed to protect your roof and your property.
Assess the coverage
We check where moss is heaviest and identify any areas of the roof that need extra care.
Hand-clear tiles & valleys
We work carefully across the roof, scraping and clearing moss from tiles, valleys and ridges.
Softwash & protect
Where suitable we finish with a softwash and biocide treatment to help slow regrowth.
Frequently asked
Won't scraping damage the tiles?
Not when it's done carefully. Hand tools used with care are gentler on tiles than aggressive pressure washing.
Will the moss come back?
Some regrowth over time is normal outdoors. A follow-up biocide treatment helps slow it down noticeably.
Do you clear the debris?
Yes — all moss and debris is cleared from the roof and gutters and tidied away as part of the job.
Is it safe on old roofs?
In most cases yes. If we spot tiles that are damaged or fragile we'll flag it before proceeding.
