Limestone dust and a damp valley keep lichen busy here, so roof cleaning in Grantham is a steady job for us. We take the growth off by hand, then treat the roof.
Grantham sits in the Witham valley, a little damper than the country around it, and with so many Victorian and Edwardian buildings, moss and algae are a constant problem on roofs and walls. Older limestone and ironstone buildings in the centre get orange-brown stains from the local stone. Houses near the A1 build up traffic film and grime faster than homes in rural Lincolnshire towns.
Grantham sits on the limestone belt, and lichen grows fast on the clay roof tiles here. Alkaline dust from the local stone settles on older roofs across town and feeds the growth.
Grantham roofs get cleaned from ladders rather than by walking on them, so tiles and pointing stay intact.
We match the method to the surface, especially on older roofs, so it’s cleaned without damage.
We also carry £1m public liability insurance on every job.
