By choosing Battlefield Exterior Cleaning Ltd, you benefit from safe, effective roof care that extends the lifespan of your roof, prevents costly repairs, and enhances the overall appearance of your property.
Why Remove Moss From Your Roof?
Moss, algae, and lichen thrive in the damp British climate, especially in areas like Leicestershire and Warwickshire where shade and moisture prevents tiles from fully drying out during the day.
Over time this growth can:
Trap moisture, leading to rot and degradation of roof tiles.
Cause tiles to lift or crack, compromising the roof’s waterproof barrier.
Block gutters and downpipes, resulting in water damage and leaks.
Encourage the growth of weeds and other invasive plants.
Reduce your property’s kerb appeal and potentially affect its value.
Our roof moss removal service protects your investment by carefully removing moss and preventing future regrowth. We prioritise methods that preserve your roof’s materials, avoiding aggressive pressure washing that can cause damage.
Our Roof Cleaning Process
Our proven roof moss removal process is designed to safely remove moss, prevent regrowth, and leave your property looking spotless. Each stage is carefully carried out using professional tools and treatments to ensure long-lasting results without damaging your roof.
Preparation
Firstly we cover up the surrounding area with tarpaulin so the moss is easier to clear up at the end and any biocide drips or over-spray does not affect your garden. We also disconnect any downpipes and fit temporary ones to prevent blockages from moss, and any biocide to enter the drainage system.
Roof Scrape
We then manually scrape away moss, lichen, and other organic build-up from your roof tiles. We use specialist tools designed to clean thoroughly without harming the tile surface, ensuring a deep clean while maintaining the roof’s integrity. This step is crucial for removing thick moss layers and preparing your roof for treatment.
Biocide Treatment
After scraping, we apply a high-quality biocide solution that kills moss spores and algae left behind. This treatment prevents regrowth by creating a protective barrier on your roof tiles. Our biocide is safe, environmentally responsible, and designed to last for months, giving your roof long-term protection against moss and algae.
FREE Exterior Clean
We understand that roof cleaning can create mess from falling debris. That’s why we offer a clean-up service, clearing all moss fragments and debris from gutters, soffits, fascias, windows, and conservatories. This ensures no leftover mess and that your entire property looks refreshed and well-maintained after our visit.
Maintenance Plan
Once your roof is moss free and the biocide has been applied you will start to notice the difference after a couple of weeks. The roof will become lighter in colour as more and more organic growth dies off and is washed away by mother nature. To maintain this, and to avoid roof scraping in future, we recommend applying biocide every 12-18 months.

Safe & gentle: No high-pressure washing – your tiles and roof integrity are protected.
Long-lasting: Continues working over many months to keep your roof clear
1-4 weeks
Appearance remains largely unchanged. Biocide is settling in to neutralise spores.
1-3 months
Fading of surface staining as algae begins to break down. Discolouration of any residual lichen.

6-12 months
Continued lightening and self-cleaning. Organic residues are gently removed by nature.
Mother nature lends a hand
