Why Alford properties need moss removal

Alford is a small Wolds market town a few miles inland from the coast, with plenty of brick and rendered houses. Weather coming in from the sea hits them hard, and shaded roofs and paths take a while to dry. Moss removal in Alford covers roofs and paving where moss and lichen have spread. Moss that’s left to grow acts like a sponge, and that water ends up working under your tiles.

Moss removal in Alford by Fenland Property Care

When the sea weather hangs about

Brick and render in Alford catch the weather coming off the coast. On the shady side of a house, roofs and paving can stay damp long enough for moss to move in, and from then on it holds the moisture there.

✗

Tiles pushed up

As moss roots spread, they creep under tile edges and pointing, so rain finds a way in.

✗

Slippery paving

A mossy path by the back door is easy to slip on, especially after a wet night.

✗

Trapped damp

Because moss keeps the surface wet, a hard frost then splits it far more than it would a dry one.

✗

Blocked drainage

Bits of moss also wash off the roof and settle in gutters, so the water backs up.

Moss removal services in Alford

Here's what moss removal covers on an Alford roof or drive.

Roof tiles

We take moss off by hand and brush, working from the ground or a ladder, so nobody climbs on.

Drives and patios

Moss lifted from block paving and concrete, as well as slab patios.

Biocide treatment

A treatment then goes down to kill spores, so regrowth slows right down.

Paths and steps

Shady paths and steps cleared, especially the ones that never see the sun.

Gutter clear-out

Moss that has washed off the roof also gets lifted out of the gutters.

Preventative advice

Before we leave, we tell you how to keep moss down until the next visit.

What happens on the day

Survey

First we walk round and note where the moss is thickest and what it's growing on.

Manual removal

Then the moss comes off the roof, paving and paths.

Biocide treatment

After that a treatment goes on so leftover spores die off.

Aftercare advice

Finally we tell you what helps keep it clear until next time.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will the moss grow back after you've been?

A: The biocide slows it a lot. Still, a damp, shady roof in Alford may need a top-up treatment every so often.

Q: Does someone have to go up on the roof?

A: Usually not. Since we work with ladders and long-reach tools, nobody normally needs to stand on the tiles.

Q: Is it really worth getting rid of moss?

A: Yes, because it holds water and lifts tiles and pointing. On paving it's also slippery, so clearing it is safer all round.

Q: Can you do the drive while you're here?

A: Yes. We clear and treat moss on drives and patios, as well as paths and steps.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 👌

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
