Why Galway Roofs Need Professional Cleaning
Galway's climate effectively prevents roofs from ever fully drying out between October and March. Combined with the lack of sustained hard frost that would naturally kill moss spores, biological growth on Galway roofs is a year-round issue with no seasonal pause. North-facing and shaded sections of roofs in Galway City suburbs, Oranmore, Athenry, Loughrea and across the rural county develop heavy moss coverage that - if left untreated - begins to lift tile edges and trap moisture under the tile surface.
The consequences go beyond aesthetics. Moss-covered roofs shed moss fragments into gutters year-round, contributing to the gutter blockages that cause so much property damage in this county. Cleaning the roof and treating with biocide is the most effective upstream intervention in the whole water management chain for a Galway property.
What's Included in Our Galway Roof Clean
Moss and Algae Removal
Complete removal of all moss, algae and lichen from tile surfaces. Low-pressure technique used throughout - no high-pressure washing that could damage tiles.
Biocide Treatment
Professional biocide applied after cleaning to kill remaining spores and prevent regrowth. Treated Galway roofs stay clean for 2-4 years.
Ridge and Verge Inspection
We check ridge tiles, verge pointing and visible flashing condition during the clean. Any concerns flagged to you at no extra charge.
Gutter Clear
We remove roof debris from gutters as part of the process so the freshly cleaned roof doesn't immediately re-block them.

No High-Pressure Washing
High pressure damages roof tiles. We use soft washing throughout - the tile surface is preserved and the biocide treatment lasts far longer than a pressure wash could achieve.

Roof Cleaning Galway - FAQs
Galway's Atlantic climate means roofs rarely fully dry between October and March, and mild winters prevent hard frost from killing moss naturally. Continuous damp conditions allow moss to grow year-round - particularly on north-facing and shaded sections.
No. High-pressure washing erodes tile surface coating, dislodges granules and forces water under tiles - shortening tile lifespan significantly. We use low-pressure soft washing with biocide - the tile-safe method.
Yes. Moss holds moisture against tiles and causes deterioration. Removing it and treating with biocide allows tiles to dry properly and significantly slows the deterioration cycle.
