Roof cleaning in Metheringham, close to our base

Metheringham is a fen-edge village south-east of Lincoln, close to our base in Dunston. The houses are a mix of brick styles and the air off the fen is often damp, so roofs can stay wet for long spells. Moss starts on the north-facing pitches. Once it’s thick it holds water against the tiles and pointing and shortens the roof’s life.

Signs moss is causing trouble

With damp air coming off the fen, roofs around Metheringham pick up moss and lichen quickly. North-facing pitches dry slowest after rain, so that’s where it usually starts.

✗

Moss under tiles

When roots spread under the tiles and into the ridge pointing, they slowly open gaps, and water then gets in.

✗

Freeze-thaw damage

Moss holds rain, so when that freezes it expands. Over a winter tiles crack and pointing wears thin.

✗

Blocked valleys

It also gathers in valleys, blocks drainage and then causes damp.

✗

Kerb appeal

A mossy roof is one of the first things people see from the road, so it can put buyers off.

What we do on Metheringham roofs

Roof cleaning for homes all over Metheringham.

Moss removal

Heavy moss scraped and then brushed off the whole roof.

Biocide treatment

A long-acting spray so leftover lichen dies and settles back slowly.

Ridge repointing

Cracked ridge mortar replaced so the roof line is weatherproof again.

Valley clearance

Valleys cleared, so rainwater then drains away freely.

Tile inspection

We also check the roof for any tiles that have cracked or slipped.

Gutter clearance

Gutters and roof done together, because it’s better value.

How roof cleaning in Metheringham works

Roof assessment

We start with the roof’s condition, the moss and any urgent repairs.

Moss removed by hand

Then it’s scraped off without anybody on the roof.

Biocide application

After that the whole roof is sprayed so the rest dies and regrowth slows.

Advice afterwards

Finally we tell you about the tiles and any repairs.

Roof cleaning in Metheringham, common questions

Q: Do you walk on the roof?

A: No. We work from ladders with long-reach tools, so mostly nobody needs to go on the roof.

Q: How long will the treatment last?

A: Generally 3–5 years. But a damp, shaded roof facing north may need it again sooner.

Q: Can you fix the ridge pointing?

A: Yes. When we find damaged pointing during the clean, we can repoint the ridge as an extra.

Q: Is soft washing safe on slate?

A: Yes. Because soft washing is low pressure, it’s safe on slate as well as concrete and clay tiles, and it clears growth without damage.

 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 👌

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.

We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
