Brigg sits low by the Ancholme, so damp roofs grow moss quickly. Our roof cleaning in Brigg gets the moss off by hand, then we treat the tiles to slow regrowth.
Brigg is an old market town on the River Ancholme in north Lincolnshire. With the river so close, a lot of the town stays damp, and moss and algae grow faster here than in drier spots inland. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces get heavy growth, and homes near the Ancholme navigation get riverside damp on top of that. Brigg isn’t far from the Humber estuary either, which adds to the damp.
The Ancholme valley keeps Brigg’s roofs damp for a long time after rain, and moss and lichen build up faster because of it. Older houses round the market town get established growth on north-facing pitches sooner than similar houses somewhere drier.
We don’t walk on Brigg roofs while we clean them, so tiles and pointing are left as we found them.
Every roof gets the method that suits its surface, so it’s cleaned but not damaged.
