Service · roof treatment

Roof treatment, without walking the roof.

Soft wash and moss treatment across tile, long-run and profiled steel — applied by drone from the ground, so nothing loads the sheets and no one works at height.

Our drones · roof treatment

Treatment applied from the ground.

Our drones carry treatment precisely across long-run and profiled roofs, without people walking on sheets or setting up ladders and height-safety gear.

The result is even coverage, protected coatings and a clear record of the work completed.

Safety exclusion zones
Safety & reporting

Off height, and fully documented.

Every commercial wash is planned around a site-specific safety plan, a pre-flight risk assessment and defined exclusion zones before the crew mobilises.

We finish with matched before-and-after imagery and a record of the methodology and chemistry used — clear evidence for facilities teams, owners and compliance files.

How a roof job runs

Treated, recorded.

01

Survey the roof

We fly the roof first to identify substrate, fixings, existing damage and where runoff will go before quoting a fixed price.

02

Soft wash and treat

Low-pressure treatment controls moss, mold, lichen and grime without abrading coatings or loading the sheets.

03

Post-job report

Same flight paths re-flown for before and after imagery, with the chemistry, dilution and methodology logged for your records.

Roof treatment · FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can you treat my roof without walking on it?

On suitable roofs, the drone applies the treatment from the ground. We first check the roof material, coating, fixings and surrounding area to choose an appropriate method.

Do moss and lichen disappear straight away?

A wash can remove surface grime during the visit, while moss and lichen treatments may continue working after application. We explain the expected result and timeframe for the proposed treatment in your quote.

How do you manage runoff?

We identify gutters, drains, landscaping and nearby sensitive areas during the site assessment, then plan the treatment and runoff controls for that roof.

When can the roof treatment go ahead?

The roof condition and weather both matter. We schedule application for conditions suited to safe flight and the selected treatment, and reschedule if those conditions change.
