Roof cleaning in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire

Roof cleaning in Woodhall Spa, among the pines

Woodhall Spa is an Edwardian spa town built in the middle of mature pine woods, and that makes cleaning here a bit different from the rest of the county. Pine needles and sticky resin drop onto drives and patios all year, and onto roofs too. If they’re left there they stain surfaces and block the drainage. In summer the trees keep a lot of houses in shade almost all day, which is exactly what moss and algae like, up on the roof and down on the ground.

What moss and needles do to a roof

The pines around Woodhall Spa drop resin and needles straight onto roofs. Add the damp under the trees and you get stubborn moss and lichen that works into the tile surface, which needs proper treatment rather than an off-the-shelf moss killer.

βœ—
Tiles lifting
Moss roots creep under tiles and into the ridge pointing, so in time gaps open and rain then gets in.
βœ—
Freeze-thaw damage
Moss holds water, especially in shade. When it freezes it swells, and tiles crack while pointing wears.
βœ—
Blocked valleys
Needles and moss also fill the valleys, so drainage blocks and damp follows.
βœ—
Lower value
A mossy roof is obvious from the street, and buyers may wonder what else has been left.

What our roof cleaning in Woodhall Spa includes

Moss removal and biocide treatment for roofs across Woodhall Spa, plus ridge repointing when it’s needed.

Moss removal
Thick moss and needles scraped and brushed off every slope.
Biocide treatment
A lasting biocide, so leftover lichen dies and comes back more slowly.
Ridge repointing
Cracked ridge mortar replaced so the top of the roof is weathertight.
Valley clearance
Valleys cleared of needles, moss and debris, because rain then drains away.
Tile inspection
We also look over the tiles and note any cracked or slipped ones that need replacing.
Gutter clearance
Gutters cleared on the same visit, which suits pine-heavy roofs and costs less.

How roof cleaning in Woodhall Spa works

1
Roof assessment
First we check moss cover and tile condition, as well as any urgent repairs.
2
Moss off by hand
Then it’s scraped away from ladders, never from the roof.
3
Biocide application
After that every surface is sprayed so the rest dies and regrowth slows.
4
Report and advice
Finally we tell you how the tiles look and advise on repairs.

Woodhall Spa roof cleaning questions

Q: Can you remove pine resin and needle deposits from Woodhall Spa properties?
A: Yes. We put a degreasing pre-treatment on first to break down the resin, then soft-wash or pressure clean. Resin doesn’t behave like algae, so it needs its own treatment, and we’ve done plenty of this work around Woodhall Spa’s woodland.
Q: Do you walk on the roof?
A: No. We work from ladders with long-reach tools, so in most cases nobody needs to get up there.
Q: How long does the treatment last under trees?
A: Generally 3–5 years. However, roofs in heavy shade that stay damp may need it again sooner.
Q: Can you repoint the ridge?
A: Yes, as an add-on. When we notice damaged pointing during the clean, we’ll tell you so it can be repointed.

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.
