Why Gainsborough properties need moss removal

Gainsborough is a Trent-side town in west Lincolnshire with a lot of Victorian brick terraces. Damp air off the river and narrow, shaded streets mean some roofs and yards barely dry out in winter. Moss removal in Gainsborough covers roofs and paving where moss and lichen have spread. On a roof, moss works its way under the tiles and loosens them. On a yard or path it’s just slippery.

Terraces, yards and moss

Victorian brick close to the Trent in Gainsborough often sits in damp, shaded spots. Moss takes to those roofs and paths quickly, trapping moisture against them and doing slow damage.

✗

Shifting tiles

Roots work their way under tiles and into pointing, so water then gets in.

✗

Slippery paving

In a shaded back yard, moss on the flags is slippery for months on end.

✗

Trapped damp

Since moss holds water, frost then cracks brick and paving more easily.

✗

Blocked drainage

It also washes off the roof into gutters and valleys and blocks them.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How long will the roof stay clear?

A: A good while, because the biocide slows regrowth. Even so, shady terraces near the river may need retreating from time to time.

Q: Will you need to go up on the roof?

A: Usually not. Since we use ladders and long-reach tools, nobody needs to walk on the roof in most cases.

Q: Why does moss matter on a terrace?

A: It holds water, so tiles and pointing lift. It's also slippery on yards and paths, so clearing it is safer and kinder to the building.

Q: Can you do our yard as well?

A: Yes. We clear and treat moss on yards, 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 👌

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.
