Roof Cleaning

Why should I get my roof cleaned?
it makes a huge difference to the look of your property. However, roof cleaning is not just a cosmetic service.
In addition to making it look almost as good as new, our roof cleaning services can save you money on future repair work. There is actually a direct connection between the cleanliness and condition of your roof, and future leaks and water damage to your home.
- If your roof is covered in moss or algae this can rapidly get washed into your guttering and block it up
- It can also damage your roof tiles if it’s left there too long..
- Moisture collects against the walls much easier and stays there much longer.
- Water can accumulate, encouraging plant growth and subsequent damage to roof surface leading to leaks.
- Can cause accumulation of snow in the winter with increased loading on the roof.
- Can reduce the efficiency of solar panels by over 50%
Pressure washing or dry scraping of roofs removes moss, lichen and algae buildup on roofs. Our skilled operators are trained to work at height and in most cases will leave your roof looking like the day it was installed.
We also offer a roof sealing service to protect the roof and drastically slow down subsequent buildup of growth in the future.
In all, this can take a day or two, depending on the size of the roof and the weather conditions. The end product, is a vast transformation from the condition it was in previously.

Bird Protection
Solar Panel Bird Protection
Birds nesting under solar panels is a significant issue throughout the UK with pigeons amongst the worst offenders. The required gap between solar panels and the roof is unfortunately an ideal space for pigeons to build their nests. And unlike most birds, pigeons nest all year round, seeking locations which are safe and sheltered from the weather, to lay their eggs and raise their young. Rooftop mounted solar panels provide exactly what they need
- Birds, in particular pigeons, can be both noisy and messy visitors.
- By pigeons nesting underneath your Solar Panels, they can damage either the cables or the Solar Panels themselves, causing faults within your Solar System
- Nesting birds cause a build up of materials which if left can damage the roof.
- Build up of these materials can also increse the fire hazard.
- Preventing nesting helps reduce the soiling of the panels with bird droppings.
Gutter Cleaning / Repairs
We clean out the gutters by hand which gives us the opportunity to closely inspect all the brackets, joins and seals at the same time. Broken loose or repairable items are dealt with there and then. Our 5 point checklist ensures nothing is missed
Learn moreGutter Replacements
We replace completely missing sections, damaged beyond repair guttering, downpipes, hoppers, that have fallen off, etc.
We supply and install all types of guttering with several colours and materials for you to choose from. Black, white, brown, grey. Plastic, composite, metal, aluminium, etc.
Learn moreIvy Removal
If the external brickwork of your house is blighted by unsightly dead ivy, or if climbing plants have taken over your guttering and blocked it we can remove it for you. Sticky ivy can attract unwanted insects. Birds nest in it and rodents have been known to climb up and enter bedroom windows via it. If you don’t want it, we can remove it for you.
We remove all types of Ivy and take it all away to an authorised disposal site, then do a thorough cleanup afterwards. Some types of ivy are more aggressive than others and can damage the surface they were attached to. Resin based ivy can leave tendril stains. This isn’t usually visible till the ivy has been completely removed. If repairs or repainting are needed after the ivy has been removed we will quote you for this separately.

We always advise replacing with composite boards as these won’t rot in the future. The old fascias are completely removed and replaced with new. In some cases the existing fascias can be capped, a process where new composite boards are affixed over the existing ones.
