Why Roof Moss is More Than Just an Eyescore
Scotland’s damp climate creates the perfect breeding ground for moss, algae, and lichen on roof tiles. While it might look harmless, heavy moss build-up can cause severe, costly damage over time if left ignored:
Damages and Loosens Tiles: Moss acts like a sponge, holding tons of rainwater against your roof. When freezing temperatures hit in winter, this trapped water expands, cracking or shifting your roof tiles.
Creates Hidden Blockages: As moss grows and loosens, it rolls down your roof and lands straight into your gutters. This is the #1 cause of blocked gutters, water overflows, and subsequent dampness inside your walls.
Adds Excess Structural Weight: Wet moss adds immense, unnecessary weight to your roof structure, straining your timber roof rafters over time.
Our Safe, Scraping & Biocide Treatment Method
At Gutter Brothers, we NEVER use aggressive high-pressure jet washing on your roof tiles. High-pressure jetting can easily erode the protective factory coating of your tiles, break old slates, and force water beneath the layout into your loft.
Â
Instead, we use a highly effective, safe, and industry-approved Manual Scrape & Soft Chemical Biocide approach:
Manual Roof Scraping: Using custom-profiled scraping tools designed specifically to match the shape of your roof tiles (Concrete, Clay, or Slate), we gently remove the bulk of the moss build-up from ground level or secure platforms.
Gutter Protection & Clearing: Before we begin, we block your downpipes so no moss debris enters your drainage system. Once the scrape is done, we vacuum your gutters completely clean using our powerful high-reach vac system.
Biocide Treatment (Soft Wash): After removing the visible moss, we apply a premium, eco-friendly chemical biocide treatment to the roof. This treatment absorbs deep into the tile pores to kill off any microscopic moss roots, algae, and spores.
Long-Term Protection: The biocide works invisibly over the coming months—activated by rainfall to naturally clean the tile surface and prevent moss from growing back for years to come.
