Reliable Roof Treatment ExpertsWe help homeowners completely remove moss, black mould, and lichen from their roofs without causing a mess to the rest of your (or your neighbour’s) home. We’re roof restoration experts with eleven years of experience. Our treatment gently removes moss without running the risk of damaging your roof, which is common for power-washing alternatives. Rampant moss growth can make your roof - and your home - look worn-out. It might not sound deadly, but over time it will cause leaks in your roof which will inevitably lead to mould - we ensure this doesn’t happen. Once it has been applied, natural activity from wind and rain will see the growth gently removed and blown or washed away without damaging your roof. |  |
Roof Treatment & Power Washing
What’s The Difference?
This is a question we hear fairly often: the difference between power washing vs our roof treatment is significant.
Most homeowners don’t realise that power washing applies tremendous pressure to a single tile of your roof. This can cause damage - such as cracks and leaks - which may compromise the structural integrity of your roof. Not to mention moss and dirt will go flying onto your lawn – and your neighbours - causing more mess than help.
In comparison, our treatment is a soft wash: it gently removes moss over six to twelve months and is eco-friendly. Once applied, wind and rain will steadily dislodge the moss from your roof. The best part? Our treatment prevents moss from regrowing on your roof for up to three years.

Why is My Roof Growing Stuff?You're probably wondering why your roof is growing a greenish carpet of strange organisms in the first place. The answer basically comes down to two things; moisture and warmth. Mould, lichen, algae and moss all love to breed in warm moist environments, and unfortunately, roofs often make the ideal breeding grounds. Even though it is meant to repel water from entering your home, your roof can become the reason that the moisture is sticking around longer than it should. | How can Lichen, Mould, and Moss hurt my roof?The only thing you really want on your roof is roof. Anything else that's growing or collecting up there is going to cause trouble. Even if it's just cosmetic in nature, the damage is real. Anything on your roof is going to get in the way of rain that is trying to make its way to the gutters. The more this journey is held up, the more moisture will collect in your roof, wear away at your roofing, and find its way inside your home. Moss is the biggest culprit here. Because it grows so thick, almost like a patch of grass on your roof, it just has the ability to soak up so much extra moisture. |
Our SolutionWe apply 2 coats of our gentle roof treatment, which is proven to kill moss, mould, algae & lichen on all surfaces. The product is applied to the surface, it soaks into the moss and in 2 - 3 weeks the moss turns brown. This means the moss and spores are dead. The moss will weaken form the surface and overtime with the assistance of wind, rain & sun, will break down and wash away overtime. We generally allow 2 - 12 months for this process and this can vary depending on thickness and density of the moss. | Benefits of our roof treatment
