Protect the most expensive surface on your property
- Moss, lichen & mould treatment: applied across the whole roof to kill growth at the root, with results that develop over the following weeks.
- Gutter & downpipe clearing: leaves, moss and debris removed so water goes where it should.
- The right method for your roof: concrete tile, clay tile or long-run steel, treated gently rather than blasted.
- Safe work at height: careful, insured operators using appropriate access and safety practices.
Why it matters
Small growth, big damage
Tauranga's warm, humid coastal climate is perfect for moss and lichen. On a roof, that growth holds moisture against the surface, creeps under laps and into coatings, and slowly shortens the life of the whole roof.
Blocked gutters do their damage faster: one heavy Bay of Plenty downpour and water is overflowing into your fascia, soffits and walls. Regular clearing is cheap insurance against genuinely expensive repairs.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you waterblast roofs?
Generally no, and you should be wary of anyone who wants to. High pressure can strip the protective surface off concrete tiles and damage steel coatings. We apply a treatment that kills moss, lichen and mould, and where a wash is appropriate we use gentle, low-pressure methods suited to the roof type.
How long does a roof treatment take to work?
The treatment starts killing moss and lichen straight away, but the visible results come gradually: dead growth dries out, loses its grip and weathers off the roof over the following weeks and months. It's a gentler process than blasting, and much kinder to your roof.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Tauranga?
Once or twice a year for most homes, or more often if you have overhanging trees. Blocked gutters overflow into fascia, soffits and even wall cavities, and that water damage costs far more than a gutter clean.
What roof types can you treat?
We treat the common New Zealand roof types: concrete tile, clay tile and long-run steel among them. If you're not sure what your roof is or whether it's suitable, send us a photo or ask when you book and we'll advise.
Why does moss and lichen matter on a roof?
Moss and lichen hold moisture against the roof surface and physically work into coatings and laps. Over time that shortens roof life and can cause leaks. Treating growth early is one of the cheapest ways to protect one of the most expensive parts of your home.
