Moss removal service

In most cases, home insurance will not cover routine moss removal, as insurers typically class it as general maintenance rather than accidental damage. However, if moss has contributed to a more serious problem – such as a leak or structural damage caused by a sudden event – then it’s worth checking your policy. We recommend contacting your insurer directly to confirm what is and isn’t covered. 

Once we receive your enquiry, we will contact you within 24 hours to arrange a convenient site visit. Following the inspection, you will receive a quote within 48 hours. We aim to schedule the work as quickly as possible after that, particularly where moss is already causing damage or blocking gutters. 

The cost will depend on a number of factors, including: 

• The size and type of your roof 

• The extent and thickness of the moss growth 

• Whether any damage has already occurred that needs addressing 

• The access required, such as scaffolding or specialist equipment 

We offer a free inspection so we can assess the job properly and provide a clear, itemised quote before any work begins. To request a free quote, get in touch. 

Yes. After removing the moss, we apply a specialist treatment to inhibit future regrowth. This helps protect your roof for longer and reduces how frequently removal is needed. We will advise you on the best treatment option for your specific roof type during the inspection. 

As a general guide, most roofs benefit from a moss removal and treatment every two to three years. We can give you a more specific recommendation once we have inspected your roof. 

Whilst there are DIY products available, removing moss incorrectly can damage roof tiles or push debris into gutters and downpipes. Working at height also carries significant safety risks without the right equipment and training. A professional removal ensures the job is done safely, thoroughly, and without causing further damage to your roof.
