The Problem

Mosses, lichen and algae have now become a major problem throughout the UK for Local Authorities, Housing Associations and also the commercial and domestic sectors.

However, on some older historic buildings these growths have been welcomed, in fact, are actively encouraged because of their pleasing effect.

However, in cities and on modern buildings, mosses, lichen and algae have the opposite effect. Their appearance on brickwork, concrete, asbestos, stonework and masonry finishes is not acceptable. They have required roof cleaning services to help with the removing of moss from the roof.

Mosses, lichen and algae disfigure facing bricks and are a contributory factor to spalling of After Moss Killer brickwork and concrete. In addition they cause erosion of the mortar joints. Like all plant life, they hold and attract moisture, storing it within the brickwork or surface on which they are growing, giving rise to problems of water penetration. The fabric is further degraded by the excretion of acid.

These external growths destroy decorative coatings and if left untreated will rapidly ruin subsequent coatings. They will also dramatically reduce the life expectancy of waterproofing compounds.

Surface treatment by washing are ineffective against such tenacious problems, since they only remove the visible surface growth, leaving behind the roots within the fabric. These roots will re-germinate and grow within a matter of months.
