Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in Kilkenny

Moss lifted gently from your tiles and ridge line, with no pressure washing and no one walking on your roof. Your roof sheds water the way it was built to, your gutters stay cleaner, and the whole house looks years younger.

Why we never pressure wash a roof

A power washer will blast the moss off your roof, along with the protective surface of the tiles. Pressure washing can crack tiles, strip their weathered coating and force water up under the overlaps into your attic. The roof looks clean for a season and ages years in the process.

We do it the careful way: the moss is removed gently with roof-safe tools and low-pressure rinsing, working from ladders at the eaves or from the ground, never walking on your tiles.

  • No pressure washing, ever, on any roof
  • No walking on tiles, so nothing gets cracked under foot
  • Gutters cleared afterwards, because dislodged moss has to go somewhere, and we take it with us

Why moss is more than a cosmetic problem

Moss isn't just sitting on your roof, it's working on it. The roots creep under tile edges and lift them, the cushions hold moisture against the tile surface through every freeze and thaw, and every heavy shower washes another load of it into your gutters and downpipes.

  • Lifted and loosened tiles let wind and rain in
  • Trapped moisture breaks down tiles through frost cycles
  • Blocked gutters and downpipes as moss washes off the roof
  • Damp patches in the attic where water finds a way through
  • Moss on paths and driveways below, which gets slippery

A moss-free roof protects the gutters too; pair this with our camera-checked gutter clearing and the whole roofline is sorted in one go.

How we clean your roof

Honest, careful and explained up front, so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Assess and quote

We look at the roof, the tile type and the moss coverage, then give you a fixed price. If we think your roof shouldn't be cleaned, we'll tell you that too.

Gentle moss removal

The bulk of the moss comes off with roof-safe scraping tools and low-pressure rinsing. No power washer touches your tiles, and nobody walks on them.

Tidy up and clear out

Moss falls, so we clear the gutters, sweep the paths and bag everything before we leave. The garden looks like we were never there, except the roof.

Fascia & soffit cleaning in Kilkenny

The roofline finishes the job. Fascia boards and soffits gather algae, mildew and traffic film that turns white uPVC a tired grey-green. We wash them back to bright white with the purified-water pole, from the ground, with no ladders against your boards.

Booked with a roof clean or gutter clear-out, fascia and soffit washing is the difference between "the roof was done" and "the house looks new again".

  • Fascia, soffits and gutter fronts washed with purified water
  • Cladding and dash can usually be freshened the same way, just ask
  • One visit for roof, gutters, fascia and windows if you want the lot

Good questions, straight answers

The things people usually ask before booking.

Do you use a power washer on the roof?
No, never. Pressure washing strips the protective surface off tiles, can crack them, and can force water under the overlaps into your attic. We remove moss gently with roof-safe tools and low-pressure rinsing.
Will the moss come back?
Moss regrows slowly from spores, so a cleaned roof typically stays clear for years rather than months, especially on sunnier aspects. We'll advise honestly on what to expect for your particular roof and how to slow regrowth.
Do you walk on the roof?
No. We work from ladders at the eaves and from the ground with poles. Walking on tiles cracks tiles, which is exactly what we're trying to prevent.
Is it safe for my tiles?
Yes, that's the whole point of doing it this way. Gentle removal protects the tile surface. If your roof has a coating or condition that makes cleaning unwise, we'll say so at the estimate.
Will there be mess left in the garden?
No. Dislodged moss is raked up, paths are swept, and the gutters are cleared as part of the job. Everything gets bagged and taken away.
How much does roof cleaning cost?
It depends on the roof size, pitch, tile type and how heavy the moss is, so every roof is priced individually after a look. Ring or text 089 400 2587 for a free estimate, fixed before we start.
