Sound familiar?

Growth that keeps coming back

Moss, mould and lichen

Growth that takes hold on roofs, walls and paths, and makes a place look neglected.

Slippery surfaces

Paths and driveways that get treacherous for family, staff and visitors.

Tired-looking buildings

Exteriors that look older than they are and drag down first impressions.

Constant upkeep

Scrubbing the same growth off the same surfaces, season after season.

Let us take the stress off your shoulders.

Why treatment

Treat the root, not the surface

Water blasting takes off what you can see and leaves the rest to grow back. Treatment works on the growth itself, then lets the weather do the clearing.

How treatment works

No damage to surfaces

Blasting can strip paint and harm roofing materials. Treatment goes on at low pressure.

Kills it at the root

Blasting removes what is on top. Treatment works on the growth itself, so it is slower to come back.

Less water

A low pressure application uses far less water than high-volume blasting.

Fewer repeat visits

Because it lasts longer, you need it less often, which saves money over time.

What happens next

Slow to look finished. Slow to come back.

Typical timings. Every surface and every season is different, and the weather sets the pace.

  1. Day 1

    Application

    The treatment goes on at low pressure and starts working on the moss, mould and lichen straight away.

  2. Weeks 1 to 3

    The growth dies back

    It turns brown or orange. That is it dying, and it is meant to happen.

  3. Weeks 2 to 3

    A light wash

    On walls, paths and driveways we come back for a gentle, low-pressure wash. The dead growth comes off easily, with the dirt.

  4. Weeks 4 to 8

    The weather does the rest

    On roofs, rain and wind carry off the dead growth. No scrubbing, no blasting.

  5. 3 to 6 months

    The full result

    Most surfaces are clean by about three months and fully clear by about six, depending on the weather.

The annual treatment programme

Your roof or building treated at the same time every year, so growth has less chance to take hold. Ask Andrew about it when you get your quote.
