Why Horncastle properties need moss removal

Horncastle is an old market town where the Wolds drop down towards the fens, with two rivers running through it. Brick and stone houses in the lower parts of town can stay damp for a long time. Moss removal in Horncastle is something we do often, on roofs and on garden paving. Thick moss holds water against the tiles until they start to shift, and on paths it’s a slip waiting to happen.

Moss removal in Horncastle by Fenland Property Care

Low ground where the Wolds meet the fen

Houses in the lower parts of Horncastle, near the rivers, often have roofs and paving that rarely dry out in winter. Moss settles in on tiles and block paving there, trapping moisture and doing a bit more damage every year.

✗

Shifted tiles

Roots creep under tiles and pointing, then the water follows them in.

✗

Slippery paving

A mossy path is a slip waiting to happen, especially in winter.

✗

Trapped damp

If moss keeps brick and stone wet, frost then breaks it up faster.

✗

Blocked drainage

Also, moss washes into gutters and valleys and stops them draining.

Moss removal in Horncastle, roofs and paths

What we clear on Horncastle roofs and paving.

Roofs

Moss brushed and lifted off roof tiles by hand, so there's no roof access needed.

Drives and patios

Moss cleared from block paving, concrete drives and also slab patios.

Biocide treatment

Then a long-acting treatment kills the spores, so regrowth slows.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will the moss return?

A: Much more slowly once treated. Even so, roofs in the lower, damper parts of town may need retreating from time to time.

Q: Can it be done without walking on the roof?

A: Usually, yes. We use ladders and long-reach tools, so nobody normally needs to get up there.

Q: Why should I clear moss?

A: It holds water, which lifts tiles and pointing, and it's also slippery on paving. So getting it off is safer and better for the building.

Q: Do you also clear driveways?

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.
