• Damp tracking in where moss holds water at tile laps
• Clumps of moss washing into and blocking the gutters
• Dark algae streaking across the whole roof slope
• A roof under heavy tree cover regrowing moss quickly
• Moss growth accelerating on shaded, tree-canopied roofs

Disruption, Mess & Weather

Quiet, external work — some scraping noise and bagged moss removed at the end — with no need to be home. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.

Removal runs year-round; biocide is applied in a dry window so it is not washed off before it works. Chandler’s Ford’s mature tree canopy means heavy autumn leaf fall and quick moss regrowth on shaded, north-facing slopes.
