It ended with our students challenging themselves to break a wooden board with the palm of their hands... they were surprised by what they can achieve.

Roof covered in Lichen, Moss and Mould?

Rebekah from Karori

Autumn is the perfect time of year to get your roof sprayed for lichen, moss and mould.

Autumn is the perfect time of year to get your roof sprayed for lichen, moss and mould.

The reason for this is because the safest chemicals require about 6 months and plenty of rain to fully complete their job.

After the chemicals are sprayed onto the roof they need around 4-6 hours of 'dry time'. This allows it to set onto the roof surface. After this, the chemicals will only reactivate when there is rainfall.

As Autumn and Winter is when we see the most rain, it is the optimal time to spray your roof.

If this is something that you wouldn't feel safe doing, please get in touch for a free quote.
