Benefits Of Moss Treating

Some surfaces can be difficult to access and clean, this is where a moss treatment fits in perfectly as it can be used on a variety of surfaces without causing damage or staining.

Suitable Surfaces

Irregular surfaces such as Caravans, Caravan fly overs, glass, skylights, chimneys, pool heating, imitation Iron tiles, walls are suited to moss treatments, as it won’t cause any damage to the surface.

Pressure cleaning some of these surfaces could cause unnecessary damage such as:

Pool heating can be loosened and blown apart.

The seals around windows can be damaged, causing leaks.

Dints in imitation tiles can be caused as they are hard to walk on.

Rendered walls, timber cladding can have paint removed and be chipped.

Soft Application & Prevents Regrowth

Moss Roof Treatment is perfect for pre-painted tiles due to its soft application that kills the moss spores and black mould that grows on the tiles surface. Some roofing tiles have rough front edges that allows dirt to stick to causing dampness and that is where moss growth can occur, our Moss Roof Treatment gets onto all the front surface, tile overlaps and tile humps to kill these spores to prevent future growth.

Moss Treatment Works Alongside Other Roof Works

Moss Roof Treatment is an ideal application to apply to different surfaces that cannot be high pressure cleaned. Moss roof treatment is gentle on the surface as it is applied under medium pressure.

A clean roof helps to make sure that the water is diverted/running down the roof into the gutters and not into the roof cavity.

Building an extension on the home can be costly and sometimes the roof is overlooked and left last, by treating the roof at the start of the home renovations will ensure that the roof will be clean and look tidy at the end of the renovations.

Progressive Results After Moss Roof Treatment

What happens to moss after being moss treated:

Within the first 2-3 weeks the moss, mould & lichen changes to a yellow/brown colour signifying that it is dying/dead.

Slowly, more and more moss & lichen will begin to break down, wash away and reveal a cleaner surface. It crumbles away and washes away into the gutters.

It will break down the black staining on the tiles to show the tile colour.

Once the moss is dead on the roof other repairs can proceed. The treatment will continue to break down the moss during and after any additional roof works.
