Manual Roof Scrape & Treatment
Careful hand removal for delicate or older roofs. Our team scrapes moss and debris tile by tile, then applies biocide treatment to prevent regrowth.
What is Manual Roof Scraping?
Some roofs — particularly older properties or those with fragile tiles — need a gentler approach than pressure washing. Manual roof scraping is the answer.
Our team carefully scrapes and removes moss, lichen and debris by hand using specialist tools. We work tile by tile, ensuring nothing is damaged in the process. After scraping, we apply a professional biocide treatment to kill any remaining growth and prevent regrowth.
The Process
- Thorough roof inspection to assess condition
- Set up safe access and protection for your property
- Hand-scrape moss and debris tile by tile
- Apply biocide treatment to kill growth at the root
- Clear gutters and downpipes of debris
- Final inspection to ensure complete coverage

When to Choose Manual Scraping
Manual roof scraping is the safest option for roofs that can't handle water pressure.
Heritage Roofs
Listed buildings and period properties often require manual cleaning to preserve original materials.
Fragile Tiles
Older tiles that are cracked, loose or weathered need the gentle touch of manual scraping.
Older Properties
Roofs over 50 years old often benefit from manual cleaning rather than pressure methods.
