Cleaning
Moss removal for slippery balconies, rooftops and outdoor floors
Moss usually grows in damp, shady spots with poor drainage, such as balconies, rooftops, back lanes, wall edges and outdoor floors. It isn't just unsightly; it also makes floors slippery. Shane Services assesses the area and method from your photos.

Typical areas
Balconies, rooftops, podiums, back lanes, outdoor walkways, planter edges, tile joints and the base of walls. If moss has got deep into joints, more scrubbing time may be needed.
How we clean
Depending on the surface and drainage, we scrub, use cleaning agents or rinse. High-pressure jets aren't suitable everywhere, especially next to indoor areas, older buildings with seepage, or near electrical equipment.
What we need for a quote
Photos of the moss, the area, whether it's outdoors, whether there's a drain and easy access to water, and the floor material. If the area is high up or needs ladders, please mention that too.
Aftercare
If the area stays damp or drains poorly, moss can grow back. Good ventilation, better drainage and regular cleaning help the result last.
Safety
Mossy floors are slippery. We don't recommend scrubbing hard yourself in risky spots such as rooftop edges, next to external walls or on narrow ledges.
FAQ
Which areas can you clean moss from?▾
Balconies, rooftops, podiums, outdoor tiles, planter edges and damp wall bases. Send photos for assessment first.
Will the moss grow back?▾
If the area is constantly damp, drains poorly or gets little sun, it can. Keep it dry and maintain it regularly after cleaning.
Do you always use a pressure washer?▾
No. It depends on the floor material, drainage and surroundings; scrubbing with cleaning agents is safer in some places.
Will moss removal affect the neighbours?▾
If it involves a lot of water or common areas, we first check where the water drains and the building's rules.
Can it be done together with balcony cleaning?▾
Yes. Moss removal is often arranged together with balcony, rooftop and outdoor podium cleaning.
