Moss removal, soft washing and biocide treatment across Portobello. Extends roof life and restores appearance.
Peak Roofing and Building carries out professional roof cleaning and moss removal throughout Portobello. Over time, moss, lichen and algae growth on tiles and slates retains moisture against the roof surface, accelerating deterioration of the bedding mortar and eventually the tiles themselves. Our roof cleaning process uses low-pressure soft washing combined with a long-life biocide treatment — a far safer and more effective method than high-pressure jet washing, which can crack and dislodge tiles and wash away the mortar bedding protecting your ridge line. A properly cleaned and treated roof in Portobello stays clean for significantly longer and reduces the risk of tile damage caused by frost acting on moisture retained in moss growth.
