County Clare's Atlantic-facing position and high annual rainfall creates some of the most aggressive conditions for roof moss and lichen growth in Ireland. Coastal Clare properties — particularly those near Kilkee, Spanish Point, and Kilrush — are exposed to salt-laden sea winds that accelerate biological growth on tiles. Inland areas around Ennis and Killaloe experience persistently high humidity that keeps roof surfaces damp for extended periods, accelerating moss colonisation. Without professional treatment, moss on a Clare home's roof can reach a damaging depth within just 3–4 years.

Every 3–4 years is typical for most Clare homes, but coastal properties near Kilkee or Kilrush may need attention every 2–3 years due to the accelerated growth driven by salt air and high humidity. After a biocide treatment, regrowth is significantly slowed.
We use a soft wash approach — low-pressure application of specialist biodegradable cleaning solutions rather than high-pressure blasting. This kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root without risking tile damage. It's particularly important for older tile roofs common in rural Clare.
We use biodegradable, plant-safe formulations and always rinse and protect surrounding vegetation before and after treatment. The solutions break down quickly in the environment. Your garden will be protected throughout the process.
A standard semi-detached takes half a day to a full day. Larger detached homes or those with extensive growth may take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we carry out your free assessment.
