Why Caistor roofs still need cleaning

Caistor is a market town up on the western edge of the Wolds. It’s an exposed spot, with plenty of limestone in the older buildings, and roofs here can still stay damp and shaded for long spells. Moss tends to start on the north-facing pitches. It holds water against the tiles and pointing, and left alone it takes years off the life of the roof.

Moss on a Caistor roof

Caistor’s high, exposed position on the Wold edge doesn’t keep moss away. It still settles on the tiles quickly, along with lichen, especially on north-facing pitches that take a long time to dry after rain.

✗

Lifting tiles

Roots creep under the tiles and into the ridge pointing, and as they do so gaps open for water to get in.

✗

Freeze-thaw damage

Moss holds water. When that water freezes it swells, then through the winter tiles crack and pointing wears out.

✗

Blocked valleys

Moss also gathers in the valleys and blocks them, which leads to damp.

✗

Kerb appeal

From the road, a mossy roof is one of the first things people notice, and it can put buyers off.

Our roof cleaning in Caistor

Roof cleaning for houses all over Caistor.

Moss removal

Thick moss scraped and then brushed off each part of the roof.

Biocide treatment

A long-acting spray that kills leftover lichen, so it’s slow to settle again.

Ridge repointing

Blown ridge mortar replaced so the roof line is weatherproof once more.

Valley clearance

Moss and muck cleared out of the valleys so water then drains freely.

Tile inspection

Also a visual check for any cracked or slipped tiles.

Gutter clearance

Roof and gutters on the same visit, because it’s better value.

How roof cleaning in Caistor works

Roof assessment

We start with the roof’s condition, the moss cover and anything urgent to repair.

Moss off by hand

Then moss is scraped off without walking on the roof.

Biocide application

Next a spray goes over the whole roof, so the rest dies and regrowth slows.

Our advice

Finally we tell you about tile condition and any repairs needed.

Caistor and the villages around it

We also clean roofs outside Caistor, in the villages and towns nearby, including these.

Roof cleaning in Caistor, common questions

Q: Is anyone going to walk on my roof?

A: No. We work from ladders using long-reach tools, so in most cases nobody needs to go up there.

Q: When will the roof need treating again?

A: Generally after 3–5 years. Still, shaded north-facing roofs that stay damp may need it sooner.

Q: Can you repair the ridge pointing too?

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

Q: Can every type of roof be soft washed?

A: Yes. Soft washing is low pressure, so it’s safe on concrete and clay tiles as well as slate, and it lifts the growth without any 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.

He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he  worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
