Does moss actually damage roof tiles?Yes, it absolutely can. Moss holds moisture directly against your roof. When temperatures drop, this trapped water freezes and expands, which can cause clay or concrete tiles to crack. Over time, it speeds up the degradation of your roofing materials and can lead to severe water ingress inside your home.Why do you use manual scraping instead of pressure washing?Pressure washing is far too aggressive for most UK roofing materials. It blasts high-pressure water under the tiles, damaging crucial breathable membranes like Tyvek or Klober Permo Forte, and stripping the protective surface off the tiles themselves. Manual scraping is gentle, highly effective, and entirely safe for your property.How long does the biocide treatment last?Our professional biocide soft wash continues to clean the roof over several months, actively breaking down and killing deeply rooted lichen and algae. Depending on your surrounding environment, such as nearby overhanging trees, this powerful treatment can keep your roof clear of organic growth for several years.
