Why Moss is More Than Just an Eyesore?
MOSS IS A Slip Hazard
Moss causes Surface Damage
Moss causes Surface Damage
Moss and algae become incredibly slippery when wet, making your driveway or walkway dangerous for family and visitors. Drainage Issues: Heavy moss growth can block drainage channels and gutters, causing water to pool and potentially lead to damp issues.

Moss roots (rhizoids) expand into the tiny pores of tarmac and joints of paving. As they grow and freeze, they cause cracks and "pot-holes," leading to expensive repairs.
Moss removal from all surfaces
Moss Treatment done correctly
We don’t just "blast" your driveway with high-pressure water. On surfaces like tarmac, excessive pressure can strip away the protective oils and stones. Instead, we use a professional, multi-stage process:
1. Manual Moss Extraction
We begin by manually scraping the bulk of the moss using specialized tools. This allows us to remove the heavy growth without the risk of surface damage or creating a massive mess of mud and water.
2. Deep Surface Cleanse
Once the heavy lifting is done, we use professional-grade equipment to wash away dirt, silt, and remaining debris, revealing the original clean finish of your tarmac driveway, stone patio, walling or roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the treatment last?
Our biocide treatment typically prevents moss and algae regrowth for 12 to 24 months, depending on the shade and drainage of your driveway. We recommend an annual "top-up" spray to keep it looking perfect indefinitely.
Will the chemicals damage my tarmac?
Absolutely not. We use specific pH-neutral biocides designed for tarmac and stone. Unlike household bleach, our products will not degrade the bitumen or cause discoloration.
Can you remove moss from roofs too?
Yes! We provide the same high-standard moss removal and biocide treatments for roofs across Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent.

Professional Biocide Treatment (The Prevention Phase)
This is the most critical step. To stop the moss from coming back, we apply a professional-grade microbiological biocide.
- Kills the Spores: Unlike water alone, biocide penetrates deep into the pores to neutralize microscopic spores.
- Long-Term Protection: The treatment remains active for months, acting as an invisible shield against regrowth.
- Eco-Friendly Options: Our solutions are safe for your surfaces and, once dry, are safe for pets and children.
