Why Washingborough roofs need roof cleaning

Washingborough sits in the Witham valley just east of Lincoln. Between the river and the clay ground the air is often damp, and roofs can go a long time without drying out properly. Moss loves it. It spreads across north-facing pitches first and holds water against the tiles and pointing, which wears the roof out sooner.

Roof cleaning in Washingborough by Fenland Property Care

What damp valley air does to tiles

With damp air off the Witham and clay ground underneath, roofs in Washingborough pick up moss and lichen quickly. It’s normally worst on north-facing pitches that dry slowly after rain.

✗

Lifting tiles

Moss roots grow beneath tiles and into the ridge pointing, so slowly gaps open and water gets through.

✗

Freeze-thaw damage

Because moss holds water, it swells when frozen, and over a winter tiles crack and pointing wears away.

✗

Blocked valleys

Moss in valleys also blocks drainage, which then leads to damp.

✗

Kerb appeal

A mossy roof is often the first thing people see, so buyers may look elsewhere.

Roof cleaning in Washingborough, what we do

Roof cleaning for homes throughout Washingborough.

Moss removal

Thick moss scraped off and brushed down from every slope.

Biocide treatment

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

Ridge and hip repointing

Blown ridge mortar replaced so the roof line is sealed again.

Valley clearance

Debris cleared out of valleys, so rain then drains freely.

Tile inspection

We also look for tiles that have cracked or moved.

Gutter clearance

Gutters done on the same visit as the roof, because it costs less.

How roof cleaning in Washingborough works

Roof assessment

We start by checking the roof, the moss and any repairs that can’t wait.

Scraped by hand

Then moss is removed while nobody walks on the roof.

Biocide application

Once it’s off, the roof is sprayed all over so the rest dies and regrowth slows.

Tile report

Finally we report on the tiles and advise on repairs.

Roof cleaning in Washingborough, your questions

Q: Does anyone walk on the roof?

A: No. We work off ladders with long-reach tools, so in most cases nobody has to go up there.

Q: How long does the moss treatment last?

A: Generally 3–5 years. Still, damp north-facing roofs in shade may need it sooner, especially near the river.

Q: Can you repoint my ridge tiles?

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

Q: Is soft washing safe on every roof?

A: Yes. Since it’s low pressure, soft washing is safe on concrete and clay tiles as well as slate, and it removes 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.
