Essex Moss Removal — Killed at the Root, Not Just Washed Off

Every surface gets the right method for that surface. Driveways: pressure washed, chemically treated, re-sanded with kiln-dried sand, biocide finish. Patios: low pressure to protect grouting, commercial strength bleach for black lichen and spots, biocide-treated. Roofs: low-pressure clean, full gutter clear, house washdown, biocide treatment — moss-free for 3 years. Gutters: SkyVac from the ground with a built-in camera, flushed and flow-tested down every downpipe. Render: sodium hypochlorite for render, specialist acids for brick. UPVC and conservatories: low-pressure clean, degreaser for tough ingrained staining.

No. Low-pressure biocide treatment uses specialist solution at ultra-low pressure — similar to a garden hose rinse. High pressure is what damages tiles and voids home insurance. We never use high pressure on a roof. Every roof clean comes with a written 3-year guarantee including tile replacement as standard.

Low-pressure cleaning will not void your insurance. Insurers' exclusions apply specifically to high-pressure washing at 2,000+ PSI. Low-pressure biocide treatment operates well below that threshold. Your cover stays completely intact.

Never. Not a penny before the job starts. And once it's done, 100% satisfaction is guaranteed — if it's not right, we come back and sort it at no charge.

Yes. New homeowners often inherit driveways, patios and roofs that have not been touched in years. A single clean and biocide treatment early on is far cheaper than dealing with damage from moss that has worked its way into joints over time. We can come out and give you an honest assessment of what needs doing and what can wait.

No. We clean at controlled low pressure — enough to properly shift moss and algae without blasting the joints. Kiln-dried sand is refilled into every joint after every driveway clean, so the surface is properly finished, not just wet and clean.

Roof cleaning comes with a written 3-year guarantee — and many customers see four to five years. Driveways, patios and gutters: most customers go two to three years before they need a revisit. The biocide treatment applied after every clean is what makes the difference.

The biocide we apply after every clean penetrates the surface and kills moss, algae and bacteria at the root — not just what is visible on top. This is what keeps surfaces clean for years rather than months. It is applied on every job, every time. It is not optional and there is no extra charge for it.

Yes — and low pressure is the correct method for both. Indian stone has soft mortar joints that high pressure destroys. Porcelain can crack or chip under high pressure and this voids most manufacturer warranties. We use specialist cleaning solution matched to your stone type and check joint condition before starting.

Yes. We carry full public liability insurance on every job. Essex Moss Removal is also Fully insured — Google has independently verified the business, confirmed insurance is in place, and backs the work.

Gutters are vacuumed from the ground using a SkyVac machine — no ladders. We then flush the full system with water and run a flow test down every downpipe. You can watch the water run freely through every outlet. If it does not flow, there is still a blockage — we find it and clear it before leaving.

Cleaning alone removes what is visible — but the root system stays in the surface. Within months, growth returns. We apply a professional biocide treatment after every clean that kills the root. That is what makes results last two to three years on most surfaces, and why roof cleaning comes with a written 3-year guarantee.

Because low-pressure biocide treatment works by chemical action, not force. The biocide soaks in and kills moss at the root. Over the following four to eight weeks it dies back and washes off naturally in rain. The roof looks progressively cleaner over that period. This is how it is supposed to work — and why results last three or more years.
