The work, step by step
How we handle moss removal
-
Look at the roof first
We check the pitch, the condition of the shingles and whether it is safe to work on. If a roof is too far gone for cleaning to help, that is worth knowing before anyone starts.
-
Scrub the roof top to bottom
By hand, with a long-handled brush, working down the slope so debris is never dragged back up over clean shingles. This takes off 80 to 90% of the moss and it is the part you can see happening.
-
Treat what is left at the root
A cleaning agent is sprayed on afterwards. Pulling moss off the surface leaves the root alive under the shingle where a brush cannot reach; the treatment kills it there.
-
Clear the gutters
Everything that comes off the roof lands in them, so they get cleared and the downspouts checked before we leave.
-
Let it decay and wash off
Over three to six months the treated growth breaks down and clears. That is when the roof is genuinely clean rather than just tidied.

Questions we get asked
Do you pressure wash the roof?
No, never. High pressure strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles. We scrub by hand and treat instead.
Is someone walking on my roof?
Yes, in a safety harness. Scrubbing has to be done from the roof — a spray-only job from the ground leaves the moss in place.
How long until the roof looks clean?
Most of the difference shows the same day, since scrubbing lifts 80 to 90% straight off. The rest decays over three to six months.
Why does the treatment matter if you have already scrubbed it?
Because a brush cannot reach the root. Moss holds on under the shingle edge, and growth pulled off the surface regrows from what is left behind.
Does moss actually damage a roof?
Yes. It lifts shingle edges and holds water against the surface, which stops the roof draining the way it was built to.
