Roof cleaning and moss removal in Sleaford

Stand on the right street in Sleaford and you can pick out the north-facing roof slopes without a compass: they are the green ones. Moss loves a slope that rarely sees the sun, and in the damp air that sits over this fen country it gets everything it needs to spread.

Why moss takes hold here

Moss needs moisture and shade, and a north-facing slope offers both all year round. The town's mix does not help: older stone and brick buildings have rougher surfaces that give moss an easy grip, while concrete tiles on the newer estates hold moisture in their texture. Once a colony starts, it seeds the slope around it and thickens each winter.

Why it is worth dealing with

• Moss holds water against the tiles, so frost has something to work on all winter
• Clumps slide off and block gutters and downpipes
• Thick growth lifts at tile edges, and wind does the rest
• A green, patchy roof drags down the look of the whole house

What we do

We strip the moss off and clean the roof down, and before any of that happens we come and look for free. One customer told us the thing they valued most was that the quote visit explained the process step by step, so they knew exactly what would happen on their roof before agreeing to anything. You get the same in Sleaford: photographs of the roof as it is, a clear explanation, and a price in writing that does not change. If the moss is doing no harm and your money is better kept in your pocket, we will say that too. We cover Sleaford and the NG34 area, and roof cleaning is backed by our five or ten year guarantee and carried out with public liability insurance in place.
