Get Your Roof Ready for Winter

Why now is the perfect time for a Roof Treatment.

As summer fades and the cooler months approach, now is the ideal time to give your roof the attention it needs. Whether you’re looking to boost your home’s curb appeal or prepare your roof for the upcoming winter, a roof treatment offers long-lasting benefits that will help keep your roof looking fresh and well-protected from the elements.

Why Choose a Roof Treatment?

Roof treatments are a great alternative to traditional roof washing, offering impressive, long-term results within 12 months. Unlike a basic clean that just removes dirt and grime, our treatment is designed to protect your roof in the long run by targeting moss, mould, and lichen. The treatment is applied directly to your roof surface, where it works gradually over time. Over the next year, the rain, sun, and wind work together to break down and wash away the dead moss, mould, and lichen. The more exposed your roof is to the elements (especially without overhanging trees), the better the treatment will perform.

One of the major benefits of our roof treatment is that we don’t need to stand on the roof during application. This is particularly important for roofs with delicate tiles such as terracotta, decromastic, or slate. Standing on these roofs can cause damage to the tiles, so applying the treatment from a ladder or even from the ground ensures that your roof is treated safely, without any risk of harming the tiles.

Ideal for Various Roof Types

Our roof treatment is effective for a wide range of roof materials, including:

• Corrugated Iron

• COLORSTEEL®

• Decromastic Tile

• Pressed-Metal Imitation Tile

• Concrete Tile

• Slate Tile

• Terracotta Tile

• Butynol

• Cedar Shingle Roofs

  
  

This treatment not only keeps your roof clean but also helps to prevent future growths of moss, mould, and lichen, all of which can be harmful to your roof's integrity.

Moss, mould, and lichen can break down the roof's coating, exposing the sealants and shortening the life of your roof.

Perfect Timing: Treat Your Roof Before Winter

Now that the warmer months are behind us, it’s the perfect time to schedule your roof treatment before the harsh winter weather arrives. During the cooler months, moss and mould thrive in damp conditions, and they can quickly cause damage to your roof if left untreated. By applying the treatment now, you ensure your roof stays in optimal condition and is protected against these unwanted growths.

The treatment will work in harmony with the weather—gradually breaking down any existing growths over the next 12 months. The more exposed your roof is to natural elements like sun, rain, and wind (and without overhanging trees), the more effective the treatment will be.

Boosters for Long-Term Results

While most roofs only need a one-time treatment, a small percentage (less than 10%) may require a booster treatment. This follow-up treatment, which can be scheduled 12–18 months after the initial application, ensures that your roof continues to receive protection for years to come. If your roof has stubborn black mould or a significant amount of lichen, a booster treatment is the perfect solution to keep your roof in top shape.

Important Note for Tank Water Homes

If your home collects rainwater from the roof for drinking purposes (i.e., you use tank water), we recommend that you avoid roof treatments due to the risk of contamination. In these cases, a roof wash might be a better option for maintaining your roof while ensuring your tank water remains safe to use.
