Roof Algae, Lichen & Moss Removal in Twickenham

Is your roof in Twickenham full of moss, algae or lichen? Did you know these 3 organic growths if left can cause damage to your roof.

Moss usually acts like a sponge and will absorb water and moisture resulting in your roof being constantly damp. If the moisture travels under the roof tiles it could rot the timber parts of the roof, threatening structurally and leaving vulnerable which would lead to costly repairs.

Moss lichen & algae should be removed from your roof to avoid possible water ingress to the roof-space causing damage.

How We Clean Your Roof

Some roofs can be cleaned from the ground with our long telescopic poles however depending on height, location and space on the drive we could use a scaffold, scaffold tower or cherry picker to be able to reach up to the top of the roof. We would then scrape / brush all moss from the roof and clearing gutters while we are there.

Then we would apply a biocide, environmentally friendly soft wash application on to the roof. The application can ONLY be applied when the roof is dry. It’s fine if it rains afterwards.

Once the roof is treated you should see a difference on concrete tiles after 2-3 weeks on a normal weather regime, ie sun and rain. The sun breaks down the moss, algae and lichen and the rain washes it off. Usually you will see around 60 percent of the result after 3 months and after 6 months it will be nearly complete. After 1 year it will look prestine with no moss, algae or lichen on it.

Our application will not change the colour of the roof tiles, but will bring them back to the original colour like new.

The most important thing to remember is that we DO NOT jet wash or pressure wash your roof tiles. This can remove the surface / finish from the tiles and cause all kinds of leaks and damage.
