Will it affect the warranty on a new roof?

Manufacturer warranties on modern tiles specifically allow biocidal softwash. Anything else, we'd check the warranty document before quoting.

Do you treat lichen or just moss?

Both — lichen takes longer to clear visibly because it bleaches and weathers off rather than dropping in one go. Six weeks later most lichen is gone.

What stops the moss coming straight back?

Mechanical removal followed by a full softwash. The softwash kills the spores so the next growth cycle starts from much further back.

Are you insured for height work?

Yes — £5m public liability and a working-at-height risk assessment on file for every roof we touch.

What about my solar panels?

We work around panels without disturbing fixings. If the panels themselves need cleaning that's a separate visit by specialists who own the connection.
