Moss Cleared by Hand from Pitched Roofs
The damp Highland climate suits moss, and north-facing or shaded roofs can be covered in a few seasons. Moss holds water against slates and tiles, lifts edges as it grows into the joints, and in freezing weather that trapped moisture can crack the roof covering.
We remove moss by hand, working down the roof with scrapers and brushes to lift it from the surface and from between the slates or tiles. Hand removal avoids the force of a pressure washer, which can strip surface material and drive water under the covering.
As each section is finished, moss and loose debris are collected and cleared away from paths, drives and lawns. Any broken slates or tiles spotted while working are pointed out to you. We remove roof moss across Inverness, Fort William and the Great Glen, starting with a FREE, no-obligation quote.
