Why clean the moss from your roof?


Removing moss from your roof is important for protecting your home, extending the lifespan of the roof, and maintaining curb appeal. Here’s why:

🏠 1. Prevents Roof Damage

• Moss holds moisture against the shingles or tiles, which can cause them to deteriorate faster.

• Over time, the moisture can lead to rot, leaks, and water damage to the underlying roof structure.

• On asphalt shingles, moss can lift and separate them, letting water seep underneath.

🌧️ 2. Stops Moisture Retention and Mold Growth

• Moss absorbs and retains water like a sponge.

• Constant dampness promotes mold, mildew, and algae, which can spread to other areas of your home.

💸 3. Saves Money in the Long Run

• A moss-covered roof will age and fail sooner, meaning expensive repairs or premature replacement.

• Routine cleaning is much cheaper than replacing shingles or repairing leaks.

☀️ 4. Improves Energy Efficiency

• Moss can create uneven insulation and shade parts of your roof, making it harder for the roof to dry and sometimes affecting attic ventilation or insulation efficiency.

🌳 5. Enhances Appearance and Home Value

• Moss gives the roof a neglected, overgrown look that can hurt curb appeal.

• A clean roof looks newer and well-maintained — especially important if you plan to sell your home.

🧹 6. Prevents Gutter Blockage

• Moss fragments often wash into gutters during rain, clogging drainage systems and causing overflow or water damage to walls and foundations.

These two properties are having the full works, removing the moss and black algae and then a biocide treatment to follow for longevity. #biocidetreatments are an essential part of the #roofcleaning process as it kills any spores and delays the regrowth.

A rare occasion where we have had to actually go on the roof to be able to remove the moss and algae. Our team are trained to work at height, they assessed the situation and as there was good footing area with no direct area to fall, they cleaned these angles from the roof. This clean used a cherry picker for safe access at the front and also scaffolding to the rear. As these particular angles were difficult to reach, standing in the gully's was safe and best practise. You can see as the moss is being removed the beautiful red coloured tiles that were originally designed. Removing this moss really is the icing on the cake for this property and as it is near a wooded area we would always recommend that a respray of biocide be applied every two years to ensure that the biological growth stays away.
