Moss off the roof.
Tiles left alone.

Softwashing and tile-appropriate cleaning across Meath that lifts moss, algae and lichen off tile and slate — Boyne valley damp inland and salt air along the Laytown coast both work on a roof — protecting the tile rather than blasting it.

Local context

Meath roofs sit between commuter estates and Boyne heritage.

A lot of modern concrete tile in Ashbourne, Ratoath, Dunboyne and Navan estates, natural slate on older houses through Trim, Kells and the market towns, and heritage roofs on properties near the Boyne. Sheltered midlands weather keeps things drier than the coast, but moss still colonises steadily where the tile stays shaded.

We softwash and hand-clear roofs across the county — Navan, Ashbourne, Ratoath, Dunboyne, Trim, Kells, Slane, Bettystown and out to the smaller villages — matching the method to what the tile can take.

01 — What's included

What the job actually covers

Quoted as a fixed price before booking. No hidden extras, no day-rate creep.

  • Roof and gutter condition checked before work starts
  • Loose moss removed, gutters and downpipes cleared of debris
  • Biocide applied at low pressure across the full roof plane
  • Valleys, flashings and verges checked on completion
  • Written fixed price, valid for 30 days
Why it's done this way

Moss holds water against the tile, lifts and displaces it, and sheds debris straight into the gutters. Where the tile profile can take it, we scrape or pressure wash the loose growth off first; on tiles that can't take that treatment we clear by hand. Every roof is then softwashed with biocide at low pressure.

02 — Process

Four stages, every visit

A

Assess

Tile type, condition, pitch and access checked. Fragile or failing roofs flagged before quoting.

B

Clear

Loose moss taken off and gutters and downpipes cleared so debris cannot block drainage.

C

Treat

Low-pressure biocide across the full plane, including ridge, valleys and verges.

D

Weather off

Dead growth breaks down and washes away naturally over the following weeks. No second visit needed.

05 — FAQ

Questions we get on this job

Do you scrape or pressure wash the roof?

It depends on the tile. Loose moss is cleared first — scraped where the tile profile takes it, hand-cleared where it doesn't. Pressure washing is on the table if the tile can genuinely handle it. Every roof is then biocided at low pressure across the full plane.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as we have access to the property and an outside water supply if required.

Will the gutters be blocked afterwards?

No. We clear the gutters and downpipes as part of the job.

How often should a Meath roof be treated?

Most Meath roofs hold up for two years or more after a softwash. Shaded and tree-lined properties may need it sooner.
