Roof cleaning in Spalding, on the Welland

Spalding is in the middle of the South Lincolnshire fens, on deep peat soil with drainage channels all around, and algae and moss grow fast here. Drives and patios outside the town’s flat-fronted terraces and newer estates pick up a dark stain from the peat that you don’t see much elsewhere in the county. The River Welland keeps the air damp too, so render and brickwork go green quicker than on higher, drier ground.

What moss does to a fen roof

Roofs in Spalding rarely dry out properly between showers in the damp fen air, so moss gets a strong hold. Dust and soil blown in off the farmland give it even more to feed on, on every side of the roof.

βœ—
Tiles lifting
Roots spread under tiles and into the ridge pointing, so before long gaps open up and water gets in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
Moss holds water, then frost makes it swell. Over a winter tiles crack and the pointing wears away.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
When moss collects in valleys the drainage blocks, and damp then follows.
βœ—
Fewer buyers
A mossy roof is plain to see from the street, so buyers start wondering what else has been left.

What our roof cleaning in Spalding includes

Moss removal and biocide treatment for roofs throughout Spalding, plus ridge repointing when it’s needed.

Moss removal
Established moss scraped back and brushed off each slope.
Biocide treatment
A long-lasting biocide, so lichen left behind dies and then grows back slowly.
Ridge repointing
Crumbling ridge mortar replaced so the roof line keeps the rain out.
Valley clearance
Valleys cleared of moss and soil, because water can then drain off properly.
Tile inspection
We also note any tiles that are cracked or have slipped, so you know which need replacing.
Gutter clearance
Gutter clearance booked with the roof clean, since one visit costs less than two.

How roof cleaning in Spalding works

1
Roof assessment
Before we start, we check moss cover and tile condition, and whether anything is urgent.
2
Moss off by hand
Then it’s scraped away from ladders, with nobody on the roof.
3
Biocide application
Once it’s off, every surface is sprayed so the rest dies and regrowth slows.
4
Tile report
Finally we tell you how the tiles are and which repairs are worth doing.

Roof cleaning in Spalding, common questions

Q: Why do Spalding roofs get mossy so quickly?
A: Because Spalding sits on flat, damp fenland, roofs stay wet for longer and moss takes hold faster. That is why a biocide treatment follows every roof clean, so the moss is slower to come back.
Q: Do you walk on the roof?
A: No. We work from ladders with long-reach tools, so in most cases nobody needs to get on the roof.
Q: How long does the treatment last in the fens?
A: Generally 3–5 years. Still, a north-facing roof in shade that stays damp may need it sooner.
Q: Can you repoint ridge tiles?
A: Yes, as an add-on. When we spot damaged pointing during the clean, we 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.
