Treat at the root
Biocide and soft wash hit spores — not a turbo nozzle that only shears the top layer.
Moss
Roof Moss Removal Melbourne
South-facing Melbourne roofs hold moss. VicWide treats and lifts growth so tiles can dry. We do not re-point or coat afterwards — that is restoration work if the mortar has already failed.

Why VicWide
Why Melbourne homeowners book this service
Glaze-safe chemistry
Terracotta and concrete get low-pressure treatment. No grinding or sanding of glaze.
Honest about pointing
Moss on crumbling mortar is flagged on the photo report. Re-bedding is a roofer's job, not ours.

FAQ
Roof Moss Removal Melbourne questions

It holds water against the surface and can lift pointing. The tiles underneath are often still sound.
DIY bleach runs into gardens and tanks and does not replace safe access. We do not recommend it.
