Salt off the Humber sits on tiles alongside the moss, so roof cleaning in Barton-upon-Humber needs a careful hand. We clear the growth, then treat the roof.
Barton-upon-Humber sits right under the Humber Bridge, and the wind off the estuary reaches most of the town for much of the year. It leaves a fine salty film on windows and fascias, and on render too, and if that’s left to build up it wears surfaces faster. Houses on the north side of town, facing the water, get the worst of it. The older Georgian buildings by the river have soft brick and stonework, so we clean those carefully at low pressure rather than blasting them.
Being on the estuary, roofs in Barton-upon-Humber collect salt as well as the usual moss and lichen. Over time the salt works into the tile surface and weakens it, so regular cleaning and treatment matters more here than it would further inland.
