Today we completed another roof moss removal Ilkley. A common problem in Ilkley is moss , algae and lichens. This is Due to Ilkley being often damp, full of green organic growth , and also much of it in the shade throughout the year . We removed the moss manually with a Dutch hoe tool. The moss comes away easily when scraped but it always does surprise us how much we bring down. We bag it all up and we offer to dispose of it , or sometimes the home owner will take it to the local council recycling plant.
Once the moss is gone and the Roof is clear we can actually arrange for an inspection by local roofing contractors. The real condition of the roof may have been hidden underneath the carpet of moss. For the repairs we use reputable local roofing contractors or if you prefer you can use one of your choice.
At this point we always treat the roof with a professional Roof cleaning product – Algoclear Pro is proven to have excellent long term results. It kills the root of the moss and stops the spores re-developing, as it soaks into the porous concrete tile it has a slow breakdown over time. If someone goes to all the effort of removing the clumps of moss it really is a chance missed if the chemical treatment is not done as well. We have specialist pumps and spraying equipment to liberally saturate the tiles. Although it’s a big improvement when we first complete the job, you will notice some remains of moss at first. This will detach and fall off as the weather cycle takes affect over the next few months.
We often find neighbours ring for a quote the following year when they see how our work brings long term results.
