Roof cleaning and moss removal in Long Sutton
Moss stripped and roofs cleaned down properly, with the process explained before you commit to anything.
Moss is patient. It settles on the shaded slope, holds water against the tiles through every frost, and creeps until the roof looks green from the street. Around Long Sutton it is usually the north-facing pitch that goes first, and once it has taken hold it does not clear itself.
Why it is worth dealing with
A mossy roof is not just a tired-looking one. Moss holds damp against the tiles, and in winter that damp freezes and works on them. Clumps break loose and end up washed into the gutters, where they block the run and send rainwater over the edge instead of down the pipe. Stripping the moss and cleaning the roof down deals with the cause instead of waiting for the symptoms.
Explained step by step before we start
Roof cleaning attracts more than its share of cowboys, so we are deliberately open about how we do it. When we come out to quote, we walk you through the process step by step, exactly as we have done for other moss removal customers, so you know what will happen on your roof before you agree to anything. You also get photographs of the roof as it stands, because the state of a roof from the ground and the state of it up close are rarely the same thing.
Care on older roofs
Some of the roofs around Long Sutton have been up a very long time, and an old covering wants more respect than a jet wash on full power. We look first, judge what the tiles will take, and clean the roof down in a way that suits its age. If we find slipped or broken tiles hiding under the moss, you will see them in the photographs and hear about them straight, with the price for any extra work put in writing before you decide. Everything we quote for a Long Sutton roof clean is free, written down, and exactly what you end up paying.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in Long Sutton: common questions
How much does roof moss removal cost in Long Sutton?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how thick the moss is and how we can get at it, so we quote each roof on its own. The visit is free, the quote is in writing and the figure does not change afterwards.
Will cleaning damage the tiles on an older roof?
Not if the method suits the roof, which is why we look before we quote. We judge what the covering will take and clean it accordingly, and we photograph the roof first so its condition is on record before anyone touches it.
How do I know what you will actually do up there?
We tell you before you commit. At the quote visit we explain the process step by step, the same way we have for other moss removal customers, so nothing about the job is a mystery on the day.
