The fix
We carry out moss and lichen removal, gutter clearing, minor repairs, and protective roof coatings where they add real value. Regular maintenance extends the life of your roof and keeps small faults from turning into leaks.
What affects the cost
Maintenance is priced on the size and pitch of the roof, access, the amount of moss and debris, and whether any repairs or treatments are included.

Roof Maintenance and Moss Removal: your questions answered.
Is moss on my roof a problem?
Moss holds moisture against the roof and can lift and block tiles and gutters over time. Removing it and keeping the roof clear protects the covering.
How often should a roof be maintained?
A check every year or two is sensible, especially after winter storms, to catch small problems early.
Do roof coatings work?
It depends on the roof and the product. We will give you an honest view rather than sell you a treatment you do not need.
Can maintenance extend the life of my roof?
Yes. Clearing moss and debris and fixing small faults early prevents the water damage that shortens a roof's life.
