Moss & Algae Treatment

Cleaning removes it. Treatment stops it coming back so fast.

Jet washing removes the visible moss, algae and lichen from a surface — but it doesn’t kill the microscopic spores embedded deeper in porous materials. Without treatment, regrowth starts within weeks or months depending on the aspect, shade and local conditions. In Hertfordshire’s damp climate, north-facing or shaded surfaces can look as bad as before within a year.

Our moss and algae treatment involves applying a specialist biocide solution to a cleaned surface. The biocide penetrates deep into the pores and kills spores that the pressure wash couldn’t reach. It continues working for months afterwards — significantly extending the time before the surface needs cleaning again. It’s the most cost-effective thing you can add to any exterior clean.

Surfaces we clean

Applied to any exterior
surface after cleaning.

Moss and algae treatment works on all jet-washed surfaces. We recommend it as an add-on to any clean — it’s the best value upgrade available.

01

Block paving driveways
Porous jointing sand in block paving is the perfect environment for algae. Treatment after the clean dramatically slows regrowth.

Highly recommended

02

Patios and paving
Particularly effective on natural stone and porcelain where algae embeds deeply. Treatment keeps surfaces cleaner and safer underfoot for longer.

Popular add-on

03

Decking
Timber and composite decking is prone to algae regrowth in the grooves. Treatment after a clean significantly extends the clean period.

Extends results

04

Roofs
Applied after moss removal on roofs. Kills remaining spores and prevents regrowth — typically keeping a roof clean for 3–5 years.

Long-lasting

05

Render and exterior walls
Biocide is always included in our render cleaning service. Can also be applied as a standalone top-up treatment.

Part of every render clean

06

Paths and steps
Paths and steps treated with biocide are safer underfoot. Algae on steps is a significant slip hazard — treatment keeps them clear for longer.

Safety benefit

Everything is included.
Nothing gets added on the day.

No surprises, no upsells. What we quote is the full job.

Pre-clean surface check

We check the surface is clean and dry before applying treatment. Biocide is only effective when applied to a properly cleaned surface — we never cut corners on preparation.

Full biocide application

Specialist biocide solution is applied evenly across the entire surface area. We use professional-grade products proven to kill algae, moss and lichen spores effectively.

Dwell time and coverage check

The biocide needs dwell time to penetrate the surface. We apply it correctly and check coverage across the whole area before leaving — it's not a spray-and-go job.

Aftercare advice

We'll let you know what to expect — including how the treatment works, what to avoid in the days after application, and when to expect results. We don't leave without a proper handover.

Common questions about
driveway cleaning in Hertfordshire.

Common questions about our moss and algae treatment service across St Albans and Hertfordshire.

What's the difference between jet washing and moss treatment?

Jet washing removes visible moss and algae from the surface. Treatment kills the microscopic spores embedded in porous surfaces that the pressure wash can’t reach. Without treatment, regrowth starts quickly. Together, they’re far more effective than either alone.
Results vary depending on the surface type, aspect and local conditions. On driveways and patios in Hertfordshire, treatment typically extends the clean period by 12–24 months. On roofs, the biocide can keep surfaces clean for 3–5 years. North-facing or heavily shaded surfaces may see shorter results.
Once dry, the biocide is safe for people, pets and plants. We advise keeping children and pets off the treated surface for a few hours after application while it dries. We use professional-grade products that are designed for use in domestic environments.
Biocide treatment needs to be applied to a clean surface to be effective. We can apply treatment as a top-up to a surface we’ve previously cleaned, but we won’t apply it to an uncleaned surface as it won’t work properly. Just get in touch and we’ll advise.
In our experience, yes — consistently. Treatment significantly extends the time between cleans, which means you spend less overall. On surfaces that accumulate algae quickly — north-facing patios, shaded driveways, roofs — it’s particularly worthwhile. Most customers who add it once continue to include it every time.
