Roof cleaning in Long Sutton, deep in the fens

Long Sutton is a market town deep in the South Lincolnshire fens, near the River Nene at Sutton Bridge. The land is flat and damp, and moss and algae grow here faster than most people expect. A driveway cleaned in spring can be green again by autumn. Through spring and summer, dust from the market gardens and bulb fields round the town also settles on outside surfaces.

Roof cleaning in Long Sutton by Fenland Property Care

Is moss shortening your roof’s life?

Out in the deep fen around Long Sutton, roofs rarely get a chance to dry out. Moss and algae grow on every side of the roof, north-facing or not, and tiles that never get cleaned or treated wear out faster than they would on higher ground.

βœ—
Moss lifting tiles
When roots spread under tiles and into the ridge pointing, they open gaps, so before long water gets in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
Moss soaks up water, then freezes and swells. A winter of that cracks tiles and wears pointing down.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
It also gathers in valleys until drainage stops and damp starts.
βœ—
Reduced value
From the road a mossy roof is easy to spot, and it makes buyers ask what else has been left.

Roof cleaning services in Long Sutton

Moss removal and treatment for roofs around Long Sutton, plus ridge repointing when it’s needed.

Moss removal
Built-up moss scraped off and brushed from the whole roof.
Biocide treatment
A long-lasting spray so remaining lichen dies and then returns slowly.
Ridge pointing
Cracked or blown ridge mortar replaced so the roof line is sealed again.
Valley clearance
Valleys cleared so rainwater drains rather than sitting in moss.
Tile inspection
While cleaning we note any tiles that have cracked or slipped and need replacing.
Gutter clearance
Roof and gutters booked together, because one visit is better value.

How our roof cleaning in Long Sutton works

1
Roof assessment
Before we begin, we check the moss, the tiles and anything that needs urgent repair.
2
Scraped by hand
Then moss is removed from ladders while nobody walks on the roof.
3
Biocide application
After that a treatment goes over every surface to kill the rest and keep regrowth down.

Long Sutton roof cleaning questions

Q: Do you cover properties near The Wash and the River Nene around Long Sutton?
A: Yes. We cover Long Sutton and the South Holland villages round it, including Sutton Bridge, Fleet Hargate, Gedney and Tydd St Mary. We know the problems that come with houses near The Wash and the tidal rivers.
Q: Do you have to get on the roof?
A: No. We clean from ladders with long-reach tools, so in most cases nobody needs to be on the roof.
Q: How long until it needs treating again?
A: Generally 3–5 years. In the fen, though, shaded north-facing roofs that stay damp may need it sooner.
Q: Is ridge repointing something you offer?
A: Yes, as an extra. When we spot damaged pointing during the clean, we tell you and then repoint it.

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.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. 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.
