Damp off the Trent keeps a lot of roofs green, so we do roof cleaning in Gainsborough that takes moss off by hand. Then the tiles are treated to slow regrowth.
Gainsborough sits on the River Trent, so homes near the water deal with riverside damp and sometimes residue left by floods. The town’s industrial past, and the distribution and processing sites along the A631, also mean dust settles on drives and windows over a wide area. Victorian and Edwardian terraces across town get the usual growth you’d expect in an inland market town. Houses near the Old Hall and the Trent quayside have the tidal river to contend with as well.
The damp river valley helps moss and lichen grow on Gainsborough’s roof tiles, mostly in the lower town near the Trent. Moisture and debris from the floodplain give the growth everything it needs to get established.
We clean roofs in Gainsborough from ladders, so the tiles and pointing never take anyone’s weight.
Victorian slate and newer concrete tiles need different care, so we pick the method first.
All of it is covered by our £1m public liability insurance.
We remove moss and apply biocide on roofs across Gainsborough, and if the ridge needs repointing we do that too.
Outside Gainsborough we also clean roofs in the villages and towns nearby, including these ones.
