Steep Terracotta Roof
Before And After
We often treat roofs that are steep ptiched and difficult to access like this beautiful roof in Ballarat North. Moss Roof Treatment is perfect for steep and tricky roofs, as we can apply from the gutter line without walking the roof. The specialised equipment that we use can reach several meters up the roof and we usespecialised ladders to get us into difficult to reach areas. The roof was condition was great and no further roofs works were needed, it was just covered in moss especially the south facing sides. A gentle method to clean the moss, lichen and more importantly kill the spores to prevent further moss growth.

Moss Growing Between Tiles!
Tiled Roofs
Moss growing in between tiles and in the water courses can cause leaks in your roof. It is best to get this sorted quickly before damage is done the plaster. The water courses are designed to help water flow down the roof, moss blocking these can casue moisture build up and issues with leaks. Using Moss Roof Treatment we are able to kill the moss and spores and stop it from growing and getting worse. Once dead, the moss will begin to break down and wash away. This is a gentle application that has long lasting results, conventional cleaning methods can work ok but to clean water courses using high pressure water is risky and can cause water to get into the roof cavity. With certain tiles it is difficult to pressure clean, because of brittleness, style of tiles and age of tile. So, it is best to use a treatment product to avoid breaking tiles and walking on the roof which can also disturb tiles. Moss Roof Treatment is an effective way to kill and prevent moss growth. Call today if you think this may be an issue on your roof.

Have A Steep/difficult Access Roof?
No Problem For MRT!
Steep and difficult access roofs can be a struggle to maintain. Pressure cleaning is not ideal for these types of roofs and can sometimes cause issues with water getting into the roof cavity. By using Moss Roof Treatment, we are able to reach the tough areas, being able to spray the product roughly 10m up the roof, making these steep/difficult roofs much more simpler. The moss will be killed by the product and then begin to break down and wash away. A big benefit to the steep roof is that once the moss is dead and rainfall starts the occur the steepness and gravity can help clean the roof quicker.

MRT Application In Camperdown
Industrial Shed
Applied Moss Roof Treatment to an Industrial Shed and Office in Camperdown. Our moss treatment is prefect for large expansive areas and is perfect for keeping the moss off your roof for longer periods of time. Industrial shed roof surfaces are often overlooked when it comes to maintaining due to the size of the roof area, this is a cost effective way to clean the roof of lichen and mould. Our product is water based, non-corrosive and biodegradable, it is a gentle application that not only kills the larger moss and lichen growth but also kills the spores to keep the moss away for longer periods of time. Most industrial roof surfaces also have large polycarbonate sheets for letting in light, these are often covered with black mould and lichen. These also get treated during the process of doing the roof, the results are fantastic and let in much needed light.

WHY TREAT YOUR ROOF?
Benefits Of Moss Roof Treatment
Applying Moss Roof Treatment to your roof surface is a long lasting process that kills the spores to prevent moss from growing back quickly. Moss Roof Treatment is applied to the roof surfaces where contamination is present, the product is applied to completely saturate the roof. It is then left to penetrate into the moss, mould and lichen. The rain and wind then helps to shift the dead moss, there is no need for any harsh high pressure cleaning that can cause roof leaks, strip surfaces of protective coatings and still leave moss spores to re grow. This application is gentle on all surfaces, we treat terracotta & cement tiles, colorbond, slate tiles, laser light, solar panels, skylights, underside of gutters and other roofing materials. We have a three year guarantee that no new green growth will appear on the roof and if this does we will reapply to the area free of charge.
