Roof cleaning in Skegness and along the coast

Skegness is a tough place to keep a house looking clean. Salt air off the North Sea leaves a film on windows and render all year round, and all the visitors walking drives and paths wear and mark them faster. Guest houses and holiday homes on the seafront and in the town centre build up algae and salt much faster than houses inland. In winter storms, sand and spray blow well inland, and that mix needs cleaning in its own way.

Roof cleaning in Skegness by Fenland Property Care

What salt and moss do to a roof

Tiles in Skegness collect salt as well as the usual moss and lichen. The salt soaks into the tile and expands when it freezes, which weakens the surface over time. Regular cleaning and treatment helps the tiles last a good deal longer.

βœ—
Loose tiles
Moss roots creep under the tiles and into the ridge pointing, so gaps open and storm rain then gets in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
Moss holds water, and frost makes it swell. Tiles weakened by salt then crack sooner and pointing wears.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
Moss in the valleys also stops drainage, then damp follows.
βœ—
Lower value
From the street a mossy roof is obvious, so buyers and guests may wonder what else is neglected.

What our roof cleaning in Skegness includes

Moss removal and biocide treatment for roofs throughout Skegness, and ridge repointing when it’s due.

Moss removal
Built-up moss scraped off and brushed down from each slope.
Biocide treatment
A lasting biocide so remaining lichen dies and doesn’t come back as quickly.
Ridge repointing
Cracked ridge mortar replaced so the roof line holds up against storms.
Valley clearance
Valleys cleared of moss and sand, so rainwater then drains away.
Tile inspection
While we work we note any tiles that have cracked or slipped, so you can replace them.
Gutter clearance
If you book the gutters as well, both get done in one visit for less.

How roof cleaning in Skegness works

1
Roof assessment
To start, we check the moss, the tiles and whether any repair is urgent.
2
Hand scraping
Then moss is scraped off from ladders, never from the roof.
3
Biocide application
When it’s off, the whole roof is treated so the rest dies and regrowth slows.
4
What we found
Finally we report on the tiles and advise on any repairs.

Skegness and the coastal villages

We also clean roofs outside Skegness, in the villages and towns along the coast, including these.

Skegness roof cleaning questions

Q: How often do coastal properties in Skegness need cleaning?
A: More often than inland, usually every 6 to 12 months rather than once a year. With salt air and sea damp, algae and lichen come back a lot faster here than in inland Lincolnshire towns. We’ll tell you what makes sense for your house and where it is.
Q: Do you go up on the roof?
A: No. Because we work from ladders with long-reach tools, in most cases nobody needs to be on the roof.
Q: How long does the treatment last on the coast?
A: Generally 3–5 years, though shaded north-facing roofs that stay damp may need it sooner.
Q: Can you repoint my ridge?
A: Yes, as an add-on. If the pointing looks damaged when we clean, we’ll 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.
