Down in the valley where two rivers meet, roofs stay damp, so roof cleaning in Horncastle is mostly a moss job. We take it off by hand and then treat the tiles.
Horncastle sits where the River Bain meets the River Waring, low down at the foot of the Wolds. That spot holds the damp, and it shows on roofs and walls across the town. The antiques quarter has some of the oldest buildings in the area, which need gentle handling, while the estates on the edge of town get heavy moss. With two rivers close by, surfaces rarely dry out properly between autumn and spring.
Down in its valley, Horncastle keeps roofs damp longer after rain than the high Wolds ground around it. Moss and lichen build up faster on older houses because of it, especially on north-facing pitches in the old centre.
Horncastle roofs are cleaned from ladders, not by walking on them, so the tiles and pointing are left alone.
Older roofs in the centre need a lighter touch, so we match the method to each surface.
Our £1m public liability insurance also covers every job.
