Moss & Algae Removal
Greater Manchester gets about 870mm of rain a year, and the mild winters mean things rarely freeze hard enough to kill off moss and algae. The result is green, slippery surfaces on driveways, paths, walls, and roofs — particularly on north-facing elevations and anywhere that sits in shade.
Moss removal is not just about appearance. Thick moss holds moisture against surfaces, which accelerates weathering and can cause frost damage in colder spells. On paths and drives, wet moss and algae are a genuine slip hazard.
The cleaners we work with use a combination of manual removal, appropriate pressure washing, and biocide treatments that continue working for months after application — keeping surfaces cleaner for longer rather than just blasting the green off and waiting for it to come back.
