Moss & Algae Removal

The damp UK climate is perfect for moss, lichen and algae, especially on north-facing and shaded roofs. Moss holds moisture against your tiles, which then freezes and expands in winter, causing spalling and cracks. It also sheds into gutters, causing blockages and overflows, and can lift tiles, letting rain in.

Our roof cleaning service starts with careful manual removal of moss using hand scrapers and soft brushes, avoiding the damage that aggressive high-pressure jet washing can cause to concrete and clay tiles. We then apply a professional biocide treatment that kills remaining spores and helps prevent regrowth for years to come. Gutters are cleared of all debris at the end of the job.

Where tiles are found to be cracked or slipped during cleaning, we will let you know and can repair them at the same time. A clean roof not only looks better and improves kerb appeal, it also extends the life of your roof covering. JD Property Maintenance provides honest advice and a thorough, tidy service every time.
