Why Billinghay roofs need cleaning more often

Billinghay is a fen village near the River Skirth, surrounded by low, flat farmland. Damp air comes off the fields for much of the year, and roofs can stay wet and shaded for long spells. Moss and lichen thrive on that, mostly on the north-facing side, where they hold water against the tiles and pointing and shorten the roof’s life.

Is moss getting a hold on your roof?

Damp air off the farmland round Billinghay means moss and lichen settle on roof tiles fast. North-facing pitches stay wet longest after rain, so they usually need the most attention.

✗

Moss under tiles

Roots work in beneath each tile and into the ridge, and while they grow the gaps widen until water gets through.

✗

Freeze-thaw damage

Moss soaks up rain, so when the water inside it freezes it expands and cracks tiles over the winter.

✗

Blocked valleys

It also slides into the valleys, then the drainage clogs and damp creeps in.

✗

Kerb appeal

People see a mossy roof before anything else from the road, and buyers often walk away because of it.

What we do on Billinghay roofs

Roof cleaning for houses right across Billinghay.

Moss removal

Heavy moss scraped off and brushed down from each slope of the roof.

Biocide treatment

A treatment that keeps working, so leftover lichen dies and is slower to come back.

Repointing the ridge

Blown or cracked ridge mortar replaced so the roof line keeps the weather out.

Valley clearance

Valleys cleared of debris, so rain then drains away freely.

Tile inspection

We also check for any tile that has cracked or moved.

Gutter clearance

Book the gutters along with the roof, because one visit costs less.

How roof cleaning in Billinghay works

Roof assessment

Before anything else we check the roof, how much moss there is and any urgent repairs.

Moss removed by hand

Moss is scraped off without anybody walking on the roof.

Biocide application

Then we spray the roof all over to kill what’s left, so it grows back slower.

Our advice

Afterwards we tell you how the tiles are and if anything needs repairing.

Questions about roof cleaning in Billinghay

Q: Do you need to go up on my roof?

A: No. We use ladders and long-reach tools, so most of the time nobody has to stand on the roof.

Q: How long does treatment last?

A: Generally 3–5 years. Still, a damp north-facing roof in shade may need treating sooner.

Q: Can you fix ridge pointing?

A: Yes. If we find poor pointing while cleaning, we can repoint the ridge as an extra job.

Q: Is soft washing all right on my type of roof?

A: Yes. Because it’s low pressure, soft washing is safe on concrete tiles, clay tiles and slate, and it shifts the 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.
