Expert Roof Cleaning Moss Removal in Callington, Cornwall

Most homeowners we chat with do not realise that moss is much more than an eyesore. Think of it as a heavy, saturated sponge sitting permanently on your house. When it rains, that moss soaks up every drop and holds that moisture directly against your tiles. When the temperature drops and that trapped water freezes, it expands. This leads to a process called spalling, where the surface of your tiles begins to crack and flake away. Before you know it, you are dealing with porous tiles and internal damp. Have you noticed clumps of green stuff on your lawn or driveway lately? That is usually a sign that your gutters are already overflowing with moss, which can lead to even more expensive roof-repairs if left to fester.

You might have seen 'cowboy' traders offering to blast your roof with a high-pressure washer, but we steer well clear of that approach. Blasting delicate tiles with intense water pressure can strip away their protective granulate finish and actually make them more porous, meaning the moss grows back even faster. Our team does things the right way. We start with a careful manual scrape to remove the bulk of the growth by hand. Once the heavy lifting is done, we apply a specialised biocide treatment. This professional-grade solution soaks into the tiles to kill off any remaining spores, lichen, and algae, preventing regrowth and keeping your roof looking fresh for years rather than months.

When we visit your property in Callington or the surrounding villages like Saltash and Tavistock, we provide a complete service.

We are fully insured and adhere to strict health and safety standards, often using specialised reach equipment or scaffolding to ensure the job is done safely without treading unnecessarily on your tiles.
