Moss on your roof might not seem like a big deal at first.
But in the UK, especially in places like Fareham where damp conditions are common, it can quickly become a bigger problem.
What causes roof moss?
Moss thrives in:
- Damp environments
- Shaded areas
- Roofs that don’t get much direct sunlight
Once it starts growing, it spreads fast.
Why moss is a problem
Leaving moss untreated can lead to:
- Blocked gutters from falling debris
- Water retention, which can damage tiles
- Increased wear and tear on your roof
- A generally neglected appearance
Is pressure washing a good idea?
In most cases, no.
High-pressure washing can:
- Damage roof tiles
- Remove protective coatings
- Force water under tiles
That’s why we use a safer approach.
Our approach: Soft washing
At Dall Cleaning Company, we use a soft washing method:
- Moss is carefully removed
- A treatment is applied to kill remaining spores
- The roof stays cleaner for longer
This method is safer and more effective for long-term results.
How often should you remove moss?
Typically:
- Every 2–5 years, depending on the environment
- Sooner if moss growth is heavy
