Old roofs and damp air keep moss growing across the city, so we do roof cleaning in Lincoln for terraces and townhouses alike. Moss comes off, then we treat.
Lincoln has its own problem compared with most Lincolnshire towns. Centuries of stonework mean limestone dust and moss, and the lower city sits on heavy clay. Victorian terraces and Georgian townhouses in the Cathedral quarter grow thick moss and algae on north-facing walls and roofs that hardly see the sun. Out in suburbs like Bracebridge and Skellingthorpe, drives and patios pick up the muddy runoff you get across Lincolnshire’s clay belt.
Victorian roofs around Monks Road and the West End in Lincoln get heavy moss and lichen. The city holds a lot of damp, and limestone dust from round the Cathedral mixes with the dirt on the tiles, which helps growth along on north-facing pitches.
We clean Lincoln roofs from ladders rather than walking on them, so tiles and pointing aren’t damaged.
Older city roofs need a gentler method than new ones, so we choose before we start.
