Roof Moss Removal Cardiff
Is moss taking over your roof and making your home look tired and uncared for?
At Dragon Shield Roofing, we provide professional
roof moss removal in Cardiff
that restores your roof, protects your tiles, and helps prevent costly leaks and damage.
Over time, Cardiff’s damp, changeable weather creates the perfect conditions for moss, algae, and lichen to take hold.
If left untreated, moss can trap moisture, lift tiles, block gutters, and shorten the lifespan of your roof.
Our experienced roofing team uses safe, proven methods to remove moss and apply moss treatments that keep your roof cleaner for longer.
Why Roof Moss Removal Matters
Moss may seem like a cosmetic issue, but it can cause serious problems if ignored.
Regular moss removal is a key part of roof maintenance and helps to:
- Prevent leaks and damp – Moss holds moisture against your tiles, increasing the risk of water ingress.
- Protect roof tiles – Growing moss can force tiles apart and weaken them over time.
- Reduce gutter blockages – Loose moss washes into gutters and downpipes, causing blockages and overflows.
- Improve kerb appeal – A clean roof instantly makes your home look fresher and better maintained.
- Extend roof lifespan – A well-maintained, moss-free roof is less likely to need major repairs or early replacement.
Our Roof Moss Removal Process in Cardiff
We follow a careful, step-by-step approach to clean your roof safely and effectively:
- Roof inspection
We start with a thorough roof inspection to assess moss growth, tile condition, and any existing issues such as cracked tiles or damaged pointing. - Safe access and protection
We set up safe access to your roof and protect surrounding areas, including gutters, garden areas, paths, and neighbouring properties where needed. - Manual moss removal
Our team carefully removes moss by hand using specialist tools designed to protect your tiles.
We do not use harsh methods that could damage your roof. - Low-pressure cleaning (where suitable)
On appropriate roofs, we may use controlled low-pressure cleaning to remove remaining debris and organic growth.
We never use high-pressure washing that could strip tiles or force water under them. - Biocide treatment
After the moss is removed, we apply a professional-grade biocide treatment to kill any remaining spores and slow future regrowth.
This helps keep your roof looking cleaner for longer. - Gutter and site clean-up
We clear gutters of dislodged moss and debris and leave everything neat and tidy, with waste taken away where required.

How Often Should You Have Roof Moss Removed?
The ideal frequency depends on your property’s surroundings. Homes with overhanging trees or shaded roofs
tend to develop moss more quickly. As a general guide, most properties benefit from professional roof moss removal
every few years, combined with regular gutter cleaning and occasional inspections to keep everything in good condition.

Roof Moss Removal Cardiff – FAQs
Do I really need to remove moss from my roof?
Yes. While a small amount of moss might seem harmless, heavy moss growth traps moisture, can damage tiles,
and often leads to blocked gutters and potential leaks. Removing moss is an important part of protecting your roof.
Is your roof moss removal process safe for my tiles?
Absolutely. We use manual removal and controlled low-pressure cleaning where appropriate,
along with suitable treatments. We do not use aggressive high-pressure jet washing that can strip tiles or force water underneath them.
Will you walk on my roof during the moss removal?
Where necessary, we will work from the roof using safe access methods and equipment.
Our team is trained to move carefully and protect your tiles, and we always take the safest possible approach for your particular roof.
How long does roof moss removal take?
Most residential properties in Cardiff can be completed within a day, depending on roof size, level of moss growth,
and access. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer. We will give you a clear time estimate when we provide your quote.
Will moss grow back after treatment?
Moss can eventually return over time, especially in shaded or damp locations, but our biocide treatments are designed
to slow regrowth significantly. Many customers find their roofs stay much cleaner for several years following treatment.
Do you also clean gutters while removing moss?
Yes. As part of our service, we clear gutters of moss and debris that may have come loose during the cleaning process.
We can also provide additional gutter cleaning or repairs if required.
How much does roof moss removal in Cardiff cost?
The cost depends on the size and pitch of your roof, access requirements, and the extent of moss growth.
