Wednesday Warning!

So we are on an interesting property today in Southport Merseyside. It has had moss and lichen growing on it for many years and is ready to be deep cleaned!

And so here is my Wednesday warning. Once moss is present in the channels of the tile, it holds the moisture, keeps the roof wetter and increases the possible damage. Most damage occurs during the winter months when the moss has absorbed water and then this seeps inbetween slate and tile. This can cause the issue of ice forming and cracks apprearing.

Shade and damp are a perfect environment to encourage moss to grow. If you live near trees or biological growth you can be up against a constant battle.

However, we offer long term prevention methods which can keep the moss away consistently. After our initial removal, we can return in approx 18 months time (this can be choice, or if any regrowth is spotted) and apply a maintenance biocide treatment.

And that solves your annoying problem! Keep your property well maintained and looking beautiful.

Roof cleaning

Why clean your roof some ask? Some people even believe that it looks nice and adds to the era of a property. However, moss absorbs moisture and and can push apart tiles and slates causing eventual damage. Apart from this, lichen and other biological growth can damage the surface to the tile.

This is a property that we cleaned last year. In a beautiful, quiet, wooded setting, this house looked amazing apart from the roof. Damage had actually started to occur and the home owner was pleased that it was removed before any real problems occured. In a property that is near to biological growth, regular maintenance is always necessary and after the intial removing, we can keep on top of the moss with preventative treatments.

This was the result after cleaning. Although if you look carefully, each tile has a "picture frame" effect where the moss has caused damaged to the composite tile. Still, prevention of further damage has been acheived. A happy customer!
