TLC SOFTWASH
Moss, Mould, and Lichen Treatments for Commercial Roofs
Protect Your Roof and Preserve Your Property’s Value
Your commercial property’s roof does more than just provide shelter — it protects your investment, ensures operational continuity, and contributes to the overall appearance of your building. However, biological growths such as moss, mould, and lichen can compromise your roof’s integrity and cause serious, costly problems if left untreated.
Over time, these organisms trap moisture against the roofing material, leading to surface deterioration, weakening of structural elements, and even leaks. Aside from making your roof look old and unsightly, moss, mould, and lichen can drastically shorten the lifespan of your roofing system, resulting in expensive repairs or full roof replacements.
The Dangers of Moss, Mould, and Lichen on Commercial Roofs
Unchecked biological growth on your roof can cause a range of problems, including:
Moisture Retention: Moss and lichen hold moisture against roofing materials, leading to rot, corrosion, and material breakdown.
Structural Damage: Prolonged exposure to moisture can weaken the underlying structure of the roof, making it vulnerable to leaks and collapse.
Increased Weight Load: Dense moss and lichen growth can add significant weight to your roof, stressing the building’s framework.
Poor Drainage: Clogged gutters and blocked drainage systems due to moss and debris buildup can result in water pooling and further damage.
Aesthetic Decline: A roof overrun with moss and mould can leave a poor impression on clients, customers, and tenants, affecting your business’s reputation.
Early treatment and prevention are key to preserving your roof and avoiding costly repairs down the line.

Our Moss, Mould, and Lichen Treatment Process
When you choose TLC Softwash, you’re getting a detailed, professional service that includes:
ASSESSMENT
We begin by assessing the extent of biological growth on your roof to determine the best course of treatment.
Our eco-friendly, specially formulated solution is applied evenly across the roof, targeting moss, mould, lichen, and their spores.
APPLICATION
Surrounding areas are protected to prevent overspray and ensure a safe, clean process.
PREPARATION
Over time, the treatment dissolves biological matter, which then washes away naturally with rainfall.
NATURAL BREAKDOWN
After treatment, we provide you with guidance on maintenance and future care to maximize your roof’s lifespan.
FOLLOW-UP ADVICE
TLC Softwash’s Expert Roof Treatment Solutions
At TLC Softwash, we specialise in professional roof treatments designed to tackle moss, mould, and lichen safely and effectively. Our carefully developed, slow-acting formula not only eliminates visible growth but also targets spores to prevent regrowth.
Here’s what sets our treatment apart:
Effective Over Time: Our softwash solution works gradually, breaking down biological growths over a period of 4 weeks to 6 months, depending on the type and severity of the infestation. This slow-release action ensures deep penetration and thorough eradication of moss, mould, and lichen.
Gentle on Roofing Materials: Unlike aggressive pressure washing that can damage roofing surfaces, our softwash technique is gentle yet powerful, preserving the structural integrity of your roof while eliminating harmful growths.
Long-Lasting Protection: Our treatment remains effective for up to 18 months, helping to maintain a clean and healthy roof over the long term. To ensure your roof stays in peak condition, we recommend reapplication every 12 to 18 months.
