Roof moss removal in Edinburgh and Central Scotland. Heavy moss scraped off by hand and the roof treated with an HSE-approved biocide, or left untreated if you prefer. Free quotes.
Heavy moss does not come off with a wash. Once it has built into a thick carpet across the tiles it has to be physically scraped off, and that is a different job from roof cleaning — slower, more thorough, and priced separately. Christie's Exterior Cleaning Ltd scrapes moss off roofs across Central Scotland, clears the moss that comes down into the gutters and downpipes, and then treats the roof with an HSE-approved biocide to slow regrowth. If you would rather skip the chemical treatment, that is fine — we have done plenty of roofs fully de-mossed with no biocide at the customer's request.
Thick green or brown moss visibly sitting proud of the tiles, clumps of moss in the gutters or on the ground after wind, moss along the ridge and in the tile laps, and a roof that has gone from patchy to fully covered over a few seasons. On a shaded or north-facing pitch in Central Scotland this happens faster than most people expect.
Christie's Exterior Cleaning removes moss by scraping, working the tile laps and ridge rather than just the open slope. Once the roof is clear, the gutters and downpipes are checked and cleared of everything that has come down, and an HSE-approved biocide is applied if you want it. Moss removal is commonly booked with gutter clearing for exactly that reason, and can be combined with a soft wash where the roof is both mossy and dirty. Call 0131 283 6467 for a fixed-rate quote.

Christie's Exterior Cleaning Ltd has scraped and treated mossy roofs in Shotts, Tranent and Edinburgh, and completed a full de-moss where the customer opted out of chemical treatment altogether. Damp, shaded roofs across Edinburgh and Central Scotland carry moss loads heavy enough that scraping is the only method that works. If you are searching for moss removal near me in Central Scotland, Christie's Exterior Cleaning is fully insured with public liability cover up to £1 million.
Christie's Exterior Cleaning looks at how heavy the moss is and how the roof is laid before quoting, and says plainly whether you need a scrape or just a wash — there is no point charging for a scrape on a roof that does not need one. On the day, safe access is set up, the moss is scraped off across the full roof including laps and ridge, and everything that has come down is cleared out of the gutters and downpipes. Biocide goes on afterwards if you have asked for it. Where practical we use your garden waste bin for the moss to keep disposal costs down; otherwise it goes to the nearest disposal centre for a small additional fee.
Christie's Exterior Cleaning is LANTRA certified in correct roof cleaning techniques and fully insured with public liability cover up to £1 million, with all risk assessments carried out by NEBOSH qualified personnel. Scraping a roof means being on it properly rather than reaching at it, so access and safety are the part of this job we take most seriously.

No. A soft wash lifts algae and dirt off the tiles. Heavy moss has to be physically scraped off, which takes longer and is priced separately. If your roof is dirty rather than mossy, you want roof cleaning — we will tell you which when we quote.
No. The HSE-approved biocide slows regrowth, and most customers want it, but a roof can be fully de-mossed without it. We have done exactly that where a customer preferred no chemicals.
Not when it is done properly. The scraper works with the lay of the tiles, not against them. Where a tile is already cracked or slipped it will show up once the moss is off, and we can replace the worst ones.
It comes down into the gutters and onto the ground, so clearing both is part of the job. Where practical we use your garden waste bin to keep costs down; if that is not an option we deposit it at the nearest disposal centre for a small additional fee.
