Our experienced team uses safe, modern techniques and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to restore and protect your roof — enhancing both its appearance and longevity.
Our Roof Cleaning Process:
1
Moss Removal
The roof cleaning process begins with the careful removal of moss, algae, and debris using professional scrapers and soft brushes. All gutters are fully protected during cleaning, and the removed moss is collected safely to prevent any blockages or mess. This manual approach ensures a thorough clean without causing damage to your roof surface or tiles.
2
Lichen Treatment
Lichen requires a more delicate approach to ensure your roof stays in perfect condition. We apply an eco-friendly ACP biocide treatment, which safely penetrates and kills lichen at the root. This gentle, effective method allows the lichen to naturally break down over time, restoring your roof’s original colour and preventing future growth.
3
Thallus Elimination
After treatment, small moss particles and dark biological staining (known as thallus) gradually dry out and fall away. Within a few weeks, the roof begins to brighten, and within approximately three months, the entire surface looks refreshed and revitalized — with no harsh chemicals or power washing needed.
4
Surface Saturation
To complete the process, we apply a final ACP biocide saturation treatment across the entire roof. This ensures long-lasting protection against moss, algae, and lichen regrowth. The treatment helps keep your roof cleaner for years, extending its lifespan and maintaining your home’s curb appeal.
