There are over 25 million homes in the U.K. and the vast majority have roofs over 25 years old. It's around this time that a roof starts to deteriorate due to the vagaries of British weather patterns, the build up of moss and lichens– and the subsequent erosion of all the tiles.

Without action sooner or later the whole roof area will need close inspection and more often than not a complete new roof is recommended and fitted.

With the Moss Rid system, almost every roof can be restored without the need for a total replacement and for a fraction of the cost and disruption usually experienced. When the numbers for commercial and industrial premises are factored in the potential growth rate within this business sector is enormous.

When Managing Director Leo Martino founded Moss Rid in 1997 he set out with the aim of establishing a business with the highest reputation for quality and excellence in an industry renowned for poor and shoddy service. As the only accredited roof restoration company in the U.K. operating under the standards of ISO 9001 2000, he certainly achieved that. The many thousands of satisfied customers whose roofs have been restored and transformed by Moss Rid are testimony to the core values of the company: - “Moss Rid will strive to maintain a high standard of service for our customers from receipt of enquiry through to delivery of service, ensuring customer satisfaction at all times”.

“Roof restoration is much more environmentally considerate than replacement“ says Moss Rid Technical Manager Gareth Hall. “With Moss Rid most of the tiles are reused saving on the carbon emissions of manufacture and transport, whereas when you replace a roof the tiles generally finish up in landfill. Roof Restoration rather than replacement is not only more economically for a householder but helps you make a contribution to the future of our world”.

“Training & Support is the key to success for all our Franchisees” says David Fryatt, Franchise Development Manager for Moss Rid. “As you would expect from a Company who place Quality Management so high on the agenda, the training and support for our franchisees is second to none.”

Moss Rid offers a comprehensive programme which combines theory with practical training in every aspect of the Moss Rid process including not just the roof restoration work itself but also marketing and sales, with practical marketing assistance in the franchisees' own territory. Administrative support and training is also included leaving the franchisee to concentrate their efforts on building a successful business. Leo Martino adds “We have built the Moss Rid brand which is trusted and respected by our customers. In selecting franchisees to join our family we take care to ensure that those we offer this outstanding opportunity to will uphold our aims and ambitions. In return we will give them every possible support and assistance to quickly build a successful Moss Rid Franchise in their area”.
