Limerick's damp, mild Atlantic climate creates ideal conditions for moss, algae, and lichen to take hold on roof tiles. Left untreated, moss retains moisture against your tiles, accelerating their deterioration and significantly reducing the lifespan of your roof. In coastal Clare and exposed parts of Limerick, roof growth can take hold within just a few years of a new build. Professional roof cleaning and biocide treatment removes existing growth and prevents regrowth — protecting one of the most expensive parts of your home.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I clean my roof in Limerick?
Most Limerick homeowners need a roof clean every 3–5 years, depending on the age of the property, the type of tiles, and how much tree cover is nearby. After a biocide treatment, growth typically takes several years to return. We'll advise you on a realistic schedule when we assess your roof.
Does roof cleaning damage roof tiles?
Not when done correctly. We use gentle soft washing techniques and low-pressure rinsing — not high-pressure blasting — which preserves the tile surface and protective coating. High-pressure roof washing can strip granules from tiles and cause damage, which is why we avoid it.
What is biocide treatment and how long does it last?
Biocide treatment is a professional-grade solution applied to your roof after cleaning that kills any remaining organic growth at the root and prevents moss, algae, and lichen from returning. Depending on your environment, a treatment typically lasts 3–5 years. Our Refresh bundle includes a 6-month clear-gutter guarantee as part of the package.
Can moss on a roof cause structural damage?
Yes. Moss retains moisture against your tiles, which accelerates freeze-thaw cracking in winter. It can lift tile edges, block valleys, and clog gutters with debris. Over time, this leads to leaks and costly repairs. Removing it early is far cheaper than fixing the damage later.
