Moss and Lichen Treatment in Upper Hutt

Moss and lichen are the most common roof complaint we see in Upper Hutt. Shaded, south-facing slopes in the hill suburbs are the worst affected.

Moss and Lichen Treatment on Upper Hutt roofs

Shaded Upper Hutt roofs grow moss and lichen faster than most. A treatment and a regular spouting clear does more for these roofs than almost anything else.

Moss and lichen hold moisture against the roof surface. On metal roofs that damages the coating; on tile roofs it lifts edges and blocks valleys and spouting.

The result is a different set of roof problems from the coast: moss and lichen on shaded slopes, leaves filling spouting and valleys, and damp that sits on a roof longer after rain.

BRANZ says regular washing is part of maintaining the durability of a painted metal roof. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

• Shaded slopes under trees
• South-facing roofs that stay damp
• Valleys and laps that hold debris

Every job follows the same steps: we look at the roof, photograph what we find, send a written quote, then send photos of the finished work. More about moss and Lichen Treatment.
