Obsidian Roofing is a family run business based in Orpington, with over fifteen years of experience in all aspects of roofing.
The hairline cracks of your roof tiles are most prone to moss growth. When moss freezes in the cracks, it expands, causing the expansion of hairline cracks, which can lead to the breakage of tiles over time. Moreover, the moss grown on the roof also puts weight on the roof structure, which increases even more when the moss gets wet, damaging the roof’s structural integrity. However, the risk of damage can be reduced by cleaning the moss promptly.

Roof cleaning is not a DIY job as it requires specialised tools and expertise to work at heights, demanding time and effort. Therefore, it is always best to leave this job to professionals.
Our company has been serving residential and commercial clients for several years. We take safety seriously, knowing all the protocols to work safely at heights and handling different cleaning products with greater care. We also understand the intricacies associated with varying
types of roofs and manoeuvrability requirements, so we have diverse equipment and machinery to access all hard-to-reach roof areas easily; these include:
Whether you want us to remove moss from asbestos roof tiles, conservatory roof tiles, or roof shingles, we have you covered. Our expert roofers are proficient in different moss cleaning techniques, which enables us to work on diverse roofs and deliver guaranteed results.
We start with a manual roof scrape to remove moss from the roof tiles, followed by the application of a biocidal roof wash treatment. This is one of the most gentle methods of cleaning dirt, moss, and organic growth accumulated over the years. With this treatment, our experts guarantee to kill off all the organic life from your property’s roof, including algae, biofilm, lichen, and moss spores.
Our professionals use steam cleaning to remove moss from natural slate or clay tiled roofs instantly. Once all the moss is removed, we also apply biocide to make the cleaning job last. We ensure that natural slate is steam cleaned at a very gentle pressure, preventing any possible damage.
Biocide roof wash treatment is suitable for almost all roof materials, including clay tiles, concrete tiles, and natural slate. Whenever tiles become wet due to dew or rain, the biocide activates and washes away moss growth.
We have refined our moss cleaning method over the years to ensure everything goes smoothly:
1. On-Site Risk Assessment
2. Protecting Surrounding Areas
3. Assembling Access Equipment
4. Tending to Blocked Downpipes
5. Scraping Moss from Top to Bottom
6. Blowing the Roof of Loose Debris
7. Clearing the Gutters
8. Tidying Up the Ground
9. Applying Biocide Wash
We block the downpipes before starting to clean moss off your roof so that falling moss does not enter gutters and the drainage system.
The average cost of roof moss removal varies from £8.50 to £18 per m2, depending on the cleaning method, ease of access, level of cleaning required, and the overall complexity of the job.
