Moss Removal from Roof in Sussex and Surrey

Professional Roof Moss Removal for Homes, Schools, Commercial Premises & More

Is moss taking over your roof? Whether you’re a homeowner in Crawley or a facilities manager overseeing a school, office, or residential block in Surrey, moss can cause far more than just an eyesore. It traps moisture, damages tiles, blocks gutters, and leads to costly repairs if ignored.

At Skyhawk Exterior Cleaning, we offer safe, effective, and fully insured moss removal services across Sussex and Surrey for both domestic and commercial properties.

Why Moss Forms on Roofs

The shaded and damp conditions across the South East make moss a common problem on UK roofs—especially those with older or porous tiles. Moss holds moisture against your roof surface, and over time it:

• Weakens and lifts roof tiles

• Increases the risk of frost damage in winter

• Causes blockages in gutters and downpipes

• Leads to leaks and internal dampness

• Makes properties look tired and poorly maintained

Commercial Moss Removal for Estates & Facilities Managers

If you manage a school, care home, business park, office complex, housing association, or utility facility, you’ll know that roof maintenance is more than cosmetic—it’s a health, safety, and compliance issue.

At Skyhawk, we work with:

• Facilities Managers

• Utilities and Estates Managers

• Site Supervisors

• Caretaking Teams

• School Business Managers

We understand the importance of working within your risk assessments and schedules, and we’re happy to supply all relevant documentation, including:

• ✅ RAMS (Risk Assessments & Method Statements)

• ✅ COSHH Sheets for all chemicals (e.g. BAC50, Synergy)

• ✅ Evidence of public liability insurance

• ✅ DBS checks (on request)

• ✅ Working at height and platform access plans

We offer flexible scheduling, early morning or weekend appointments, and can work term-time or during school holidays as required.

Our Safe Roof Moss Removal Process

We never use harsh jet washers on roofs. Our method is approved by roofing professionals and designed to extend the life of your roof.

Step 1: Manual Moss Removal

Using specialist scraper tools and telescopic poles, we gently remove moss without damaging tiles. On commercial properties, we often use tower access platforms or MEWPs to keep our team and your property safe.

Step 2: Gutter Clearance

Cleared moss and debris are fully removed from gutters and downpipes—preventing blockages and overflow issues.

Step 3: Biocide Application

We apply an HSE-approved biocide such as PureSeal Synergy or BAC50 to kill moss, lichen, and algae spores at the root. These continue working for months after application and discourage regrowth.

Step 4: Scheduled Maintenance (Optional)

We offer annual inspections and roof cleaning maintenance plans to schools, housing developments, and commercial clients for long-term care.
