Safe & Effective
Moss and lichen are a common problem on Christchurch homes. They build up on roofs, concrete paths, driveways, decks, and shaded areas‚ making surfaces look bad, turning slippery underfoot, and causing real damage if they're left too long.
House & Land Services removes both moss and lichen from all exterior surfaces. We use the right methods and products for each surface, so you get proper results without any damage to your roofing material, concrete, or timber.
Moss vs. Lichen‚ what's the difference and why Lichen needs a different approach
Moss is soft and relatively easy to lift off. Lichen is different‚ it's that flat, crusty growth that grips into surfaces and roots itself in over time. The longer lichen is left, the harder it is to remove and the more damage it does underneath. It needs targeted treatment, not just a scrub.
We handle both, and we'll let you know what you're dealing with when we come out.

Will it come back?
Both moss and lichen can return, especially in shaded or damp conditions. We offer preventative treatments that significantly slow regrowth and protect your surfaces longer-term, worth considering if you've had repeat problems.
