Why Boston properties need moss removal

Boston is a port town on the Haven, close to the Wash, and best known for the Stump, the tall tower of St Botolph’s church. The fen around it is flat and exposed, and shaded roofs and paths can stay wet for days. Moss removal in Boston is mostly roofs and garden paving. Moss holds water like a sponge, which loosens roof tiles over time and leaves paths greasy.

Signs moss is causing trouble

Coastal fen air around Boston keeps a lot of roofs and paving damp, especially on the shaded side. Moss grows readily there and traps moisture against tiles and slabs, which slowly does damage.

βœ—
Loose tiles
Roots work under the tiles and pointing, so water seeps in behind them.
βœ—
Slippery paving
Moss on a path turns greasy when it rains, so it's easy to go over on it.
βœ—
Trapped damp
If moss stays on a surface through winter, frost does more damage than it would otherwise.
βœ—
Blocked drainage
Debris also washes from the roof into gutters and valleys and stops them draining.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does moss come back once it's been removed?
A: Treatment slows it down a lot, but on the shaded side of a fen roof it may still need doing again occasionally.
Q: Do I need scaffolding for roof moss?
A: Generally not. Since we use ladders and long-reach tools, nobody needs to get up on the roof in most cases.
Q: Can moss really damage a roof?
A: Yes. It holds moisture, so it lifts tiles and pointing, and on paving it's slippery. So clearing it is better for the house and safer for you.
Q: Will you treat my patio as well?
A: Yes, drives and patios get cleared and treated, and so do paths and steps.

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.
