Why Spilsby roofs need roof cleaning

Spilsby is a market town on the edge of the Wolds, not far from the coast. Many of its brick houses face east into the weather, and their roofs can stay damp for long spells. Moss and lichen settle on the north-facing side first, soak up rain and keep it against the tiles and pointing, which wears the roof out early.

Is your roof in the firing line?

A lot of Spilsby’s brick houses sit in an exposed, east-facing spot, and growth soon gets going on the tiles. North-facing pitches dry slowly after rain, so that’s usually where the moss is thickest.

βœ—
Moss lifting tiles
When roots get under the tiles and into the ridge pointing, gaps slowly open, so rain then gets in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
Moss soaks up water. If that freezes it expands, and over a winter tiles crack and pointing wears out.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
It also gathers in valleys and blocks drainage, so damp follows.
βœ—
Kerb appeal
People notice a mossy roof from the road first, and it can put buyers off.

Roof cleaning in Spilsby, our services

Roof cleaning for homes right across Spilsby.

Moss removal

Biocide treatment
A treatment that lasts, so leftover lichen dies and is slow to settle back.
Ridge repointing
Cracked ridge mortar replaced so the roof line keeps out the weather.

Roof and gutters done on the same visit, since that’s better value.

How roof cleaning in Spilsby works

1
Roof assessment
First we check the roof’s condition, the moss and anything urgent.
2
Scraping by hand
Then moss comes off without anybody walking the roof.
3
Biocide application
After that the whole roof gets sprayed, so the rest dies and regrowth slows.
4
Advice on repairs
Finally we report on the tiles and any repairs needed.

Spilsby roof cleaning questions

Q: Will anyone stand on my roof?
A: No. Since we use ladders and long-reach tools, in most cases nobody has to go on the roof.
Q: How often will it need treating?
A: Generally every 3–5 years. However, damp north-facing roofs in shade may need it sooner.
Q: Do you repoint the ridge?
A: Yes. If we find damaged pointing while we clean, we can then repoint the ridge as an extra.
Q: Is soft washing safe on clay tiles?
A: Yes. Soft washing is low pressure, so it’s safe on clay tiles and also on concrete and slate, and it removes growth without damage.

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.
