This project was a maintenance call that became more substantial once we got up onto the roof. The owner had spotted some slipped tiles and wanted them sorted, but our inspection found significant moss build-up across the slope, failing pointing on the ridge tiles, and several cracked tiles that hadn't been visible from the ground.
Moss might look harmless, but on a tiled roof it traps moisture against the surface and accelerates wear on the tiles themselves. Left untreated, a heavy moss layer can shorten the life of a tiled roof by 20-30%. The fix isn't dramatic — careful manual removal, biocide treatment to slow regrowth, and proper inspection of what's underneath.
Alongside the moss work, we replaced six slipped or cracked tiles, repointed the full ridge run with weather-resistant mortar, and cleared the gutters of accumulated debris. A two-day job that's bought the owner another decade or more of trouble-free roofing.
Cost: written, fixed quote — no deposits, payment on completion. Workmanship guarantee on the ridge work and the tile replacement.
