Roof cleaning in Brigg, by the River Ancholme

Brigg is an old market town on the River Ancholme in north Lincolnshire. With the river so close, a lot of the town stays damp, and moss and algae grow faster here than in drier spots inland. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces get heavy growth, and homes near the Ancholme navigation get riverside damp on top of that. Brigg isn’t far from the Humber estuary either, which adds to the damp.

Is moss damaging your Brigg roof?

The Ancholme valley keeps Brigg’s roofs damp for a long time after rain, and moss and lichen build up faster because of it. Older houses round the market town get established growth on north-facing pitches sooner than similar houses somewhere drier.

βœ—
Moss under the tiles
If roots are left to spread beneath tiles and into the ridge pointing, gaps soon open up and water gets in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
Water held in moss freezes and expands, so over a cold winter tiles crack and pointing wears away.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
Moss collecting in valleys also blocks the drainage, and then damp follows.
βœ—
Value on paper
A moss-covered roof is obvious from the street, so buyers often wonder what else hasn’t been kept up.

What roof cleaning in Brigg covers

Moss removal and biocide work on roofs throughout Brigg, as well as ridge repointing when it’s needed.

Moss removal
Every slope cleared of thick moss, scraped and then brushed.
Biocide treatment
A lasting spray so leftover lichen dies and doesn’t get going again as soon.
Hip and ridge pointing
Broken ridge mortar replaced so the roof line keeps rain out again.
Valley clearance
Valleys cleaned out, because moss and debris there stop water draining.
Tile inspection
We also check for tiles that have cracked or slipped and note any that should be replaced.
Gutter clearance
Having the gutters done while we’re there saves you money, so many people book both.

How roof cleaning in Brigg works

1
Roof assessment
Before we start, we check moss cover, tile condition and anything urgent.
2
Scraped by hand
Then moss comes off from ladders, while nobody walks on the roof.
3
Biocide application
After that the roof is sprayed all over so what’s left dies back and regrowth stays down.
4
Your report
Finally you get our view on the tiles and any repairs they need.

Brigg roof cleaning, common questions

Q: Do you cover properties near the River Ancholme in Brigg?
A: Yes. Homes by the river in Brigg get more damp and quicker algae growth from the Ancholme valley. We cover all of Brigg and the North Lincolnshire villages around it, including Wrawby, Scawby, Hibaldstow and Barnetby.
Q: Do you walk across my roof?
A: No. Because we work from ladders with long-reach tools, in most cases nobody has to go on the roof.
Q: How long should the treatment last on my roof?
A: Generally 3–5 years. However, roofs facing north in shade, which stay damp, may need it sooner.
Q: Do you repoint ridge tiles as well?
A: Yes, as an extra. If we spot damaged pointing as we clean, we’ll tell you and then repoint it.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend πŸ‘Œ

An excellent job. From start to finish what an absolute pleasure. No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too. Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job. They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless. I cannot praise them enough. They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.

Fenland did a great job cleaning and re-sanding my block paving path and my patio. Polite and efficient and cleaned the doors and windows where the dirt had splashed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
