Why roof cleaning in North Hykeham matters on estate homes

North Hykeham is Lincolnshire’s largest suburb, and a lot of it was built between the 1970s and the 2000s. Walk round almost any estate and you’ll see the same concrete roof tiles, and on plenty of them the north-facing slope has gone green or has clumps of moss along the edges. Concrete tiles are rough and hold on to moisture, so moss takes to them easily. If it’s left alone it spreads, sheds into the gutters and eventually works its way under the tiles. Cleaning and treating the roof deals with it before it gets that far.

When moss starts causing trouble

Most of the 1970s and 1980s homes here were finished with concrete tiles, and because the surface is porous it stays damp long after rain. Moss likes that, so once it has a proper hold it can begin to lift the tiles.

βœ—
Tiles pushed up
As the moss grows, its roots creep under the tiles and into the ridge mortar, so gaps open up for rain to get in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
When winter comes, the water sitting in the moss freezes and expands, and that can crack tiles or loosen pointing.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
Moss also washes down into the valleys, where it blocks the run-off and eventually causes damp patches.
βœ—
Harder to sell
If you’re selling, a green roof is often the first thing a buyer spots from the pavement.

What our roof cleaning in North Hykeham includes

We take moss off and treat roofs all over North Hykeham, and we can repoint the ridge as well if it needs it.

Moss removal
Thick moss is scraped and brushed off by hand, including the awkward edges.
Biocide treatment
Then a long-lasting biocide goes on, so any lichen left behind dies off instead of regrowing.
Repointing ridges and hips
If the ridge mortar is cracked or loose, we replace it so the roof line keeps the weather out.
Valley clearance
We clear the valleys too, so rain can run off properly again.
Tile inspection
While we’re up there, we also note any slipped or broken tiles.
Gutter clearance
Since the moss ends up in the gutters anyway, a lot of people book gutter clearing on the same visit.

How roof cleaning in North Hykeham works

1
Roof assessment
First we look over the roof, judge how much moss there is and point out anything urgent.
2
Moss off by hand
We scrape it away from ladders, so nobody has to walk on the roof.
3
Biocide application
After that a treatment spray covers the whole roof, which kills what’s left and slows regrowth.
4
Report & recommendations
Finally, we tell you how the tiles look and whether any repairs are worth doing.

Roof questions we get asked

Q: Which parts of North Hykeham do you cover?
A: All of it, including the Doddington Road and Boundary Lane estates as well as the streets off Newark Road and Whisby Road. We also travel out to Waddington and Bracebridge Heath, so the villages near them are covered too.
Q: Does anyone need to climb onto my roof?
A: Generally not. We use ladders and long-reach tools instead, so in most cases we stay off the tiles completely.
Q: How long will the biocide keep working?
A: Three to five years is typical, although north-facing or shaded roofs often need another treatment a bit sooner.
Q: Can you repoint the ridge as well?
A: Yes. If we notice damaged pointing during the clean, we’ll tell you and can repoint it as an add-on.

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.
