Hand Scraping Moss
The careful, traditional way to clear moss from your roof. We lift it away tile by tile with hand tools, so even thick, stubborn moss comes off without forcing water under your tiles. It's slower work, but it's the method many homeowners feel most comfortable with, especially on older or more delicate roofs.

Why Hand Scraping Is Often the Best Choice
Thick moss can be deep-rooted, wedged between tiles and heavy with water. Trying to blast it away can be rough on your roof and push water where it shouldn't go.
Hand scraping takes a gentler route. We work across the roof by hand, easing the moss away and taking care around every tile, ridge and edge. It means you get a thorough clean with complete control, and peace of mind that your roof has been treated with respect.
Hand Scraping Suits Roofs With…
- ✓ Thick, established moss
- ✓ Older or more fragile tiles
- ✓ Clay or slate roofs you want handled gently
- ✓ Moss packed into gaps and along ridges
- ✓ Owners who want the most careful approach

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hand scraping gentler than pressure washing?
Hand scraping avoids putting water pressure on your tiles, which is why many people prefer it for thick moss and older roofs. We'll recommend the best method for yours at your survey.
Does hand scraping remove all the moss?
It removes the moss, including thick clumps, from tiles, ridges and edges. We then apply a biocide treatment to deal with any remaining roots and spores.
How long does hand scraping take?
It's more hands-on than other methods, so it can take a little longer. Most homes are still done in a day or two, and we'll give you a clear idea at your free survey.
Will my roof look completely clean afterwards?
The moss will be gone, but some staining from algae and lichen can remain until the biocide treatment has had time to work.
Can you hand scrape any type of roof?
Hand scraping works on most tiled and slate roofs. We'll check your roof at the survey and tell you honestly whether it's the right approach.
What happens to the moss you remove?
We clear it from your gutters, paths and garden so you're not left with any mess.
