Concrete Tile Renewal
Forest Edge Residence · 310 sqm · Completed in 8 days
A shaded roof losing its fight with moss
Tucked against the tree line, this concrete tile roof barely saw direct sun. Years of moss had lifted tile edges, valleys were choked with debris, and blocked drainage was pushing water sideways under the laps. Patches of perished pointing on the ridges let wind-driven rain straight into the loft.
We stripped the moss and debris first, then renewed the roof end to end: failed valleys were rebuilt, ridges were re-bedded and repointed, broken tiles were swapped for matching profiles, and drainage channels were cleared and re-graded. The shaded slopes received a professional anti-moss treatment to slow regrowth without harming the planting below.
Eight days later the roof sheds water the way it was designed to — dry valleys, firm ridges, and free-flowing drainage. The owners joined one of our care plans so the gutters and shaded slopes get checked every year before moss can take hold again.

How we solved it
Moss, valleys, drainage
Shade-fed moss lifted tile edges while blocked valleys and drainage forced water sideways under the laps and into the loft.
Renew the water path
Cleared and treated the slopes, rebuilt the valleys, re-bedded the ridges, and re-graded drainage so water leaves the roof fast.
Dry loft, easy upkeep
Water sheds as designed, regrowth is held back by treatment, and yearly care-plan visits keep it that way.
What was done
- Cleared moss and debris from slopes, valleys, and gutters.
- Rebuilt failed valleys and re-bedded loose ridge tiles.
- Replaced broken tiles with matching profiles and finishes.
- Applied anti-moss treatment to the shaded slopes.
