Professional Roof Cleaning Backed by a Solid 2 to 3 Year Moss-Free Guarantee
Stop moss from destroying your roof tiles. In Ireland’s wet climate, moss, lichen, and black algae aren't just cosmetic eyesores—they are structural hazards. Roof moss acts like a heavy sponge, soaking up gallons of rainwater and holding dampness directly against your tiles.
When winter frosts hit Kildare, that trapped water freezes and expands, cracking tiles, loosening mortar along the ridge line, and forcing moisture under your roof space.
At PD Power Washing, Patrick Doherty provides safe, long-lasting roof cleaning designed specifically for Irish homes.
Backed by over 10 years of hands-on experience, Patrick strips away heavy moss growth and neutralizes microscopic spores without resorting to harsh high pressure that risks ruining your property.
When you only scrape or power wash a roof, invisible microscopic spores stay alive inside the porous tile. Within six to twelve months, those damp spores sprout, and the moss returns.
Because our specialized biocide treatment sterilizes the roof surface at a cellular level, every full roof clean completed by PD Power Washing comes with a 2 to 3 year moss-free guarantee. If organic regrowth appears on treated areas during your guarantee period, Patrick will return and re-treat the affected sections free of charge.
Why High-Pressure Power Washing Can Ruin Your Roof
Many untrained operators blast roofs with standard high-pressure power washers because it is fast.
However, blasting water upward at high pressure strips the protective factory coating off concrete tiles, breaks fragile slate edges, and forces water directly under the tile overlap into your roof space and ceiling insulation. Patrick takes a far safer, professional approach: manual hand-scraping paired with a low-pressure biocide softwash.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Cleaning
No. Hand scraping is widely recognized by roofing manufacturers as the safest way to clear heavy moss. Patrick uses nylon and steel blades specifically contoured to match your tile shape, gliding across the surface to lift moss without scratching or chipping the tile coating.
Yes. We pre-rinse surrounding plants and grass with fresh water so roots do not absorb any runoff. Once the treatment dries on the roof tiles, it is completely inert and poses no harm to pets, birds, or children.
Most standard three- or four-bedroom homes in Kildare take between one to two days to complete thoroughly. This allows time for safe ladder setup, meticulous manual scraping, biocide application, gutter flushing, and full site cleanup.
If moss or algae reappears within your 2-to-3-year window, contact Patrick directly on 083 053 9763. He will inspect the property and apply a fresh biocide treatment to the affected area at zero cost to you.
Standard power washing and gutter clearing can usually go ahead in light to moderate rain. However, chemical biocide softwashing requires a dry period to absorb into tiles and render properly. If severe weather interferes, Patrick will contact you directly to reschedule for the next clear day at no added cost.
No. As long as there is clear access around the outside of your property, an active outdoor water tap, and access to a standard electrical socket, you do not need to take time off work. Patrick will secure all gates, complete the job, and text you before-and-after photos once finished.
