Roof & Gutter Cleaning Peterborough

Moss, algae and lichen thrive on roofs in our damp British climate, especially on north-facing slopes and properties surrounded by trees. What starts as a light green tinge can soon become thick clumps that hold moisture against your tiles, lift them out of place and wash down into the gutters every time it rains. Peterborough Roofing Company provides thorough roof and gutter cleaning across Peterborough, restoring your roof’s appearance and helping it last longer.

Clean gutters are just as important as a clean roof. Leaves, twigs, moss and silt gradually build up until water can no longer drain away, and before long it’s spilling over the edge, staining walls and soaking into brickwork. Our team clears gutters by hand or using specialist vacuum equipment, flushes the downpipes and checks that everything is running freely before we leave.

When cleaning roofs, we always choose the approach that’s right for the surface. Rather than blasting tiles with high pressure, which can strip away their protective coating and force water underneath, we remove moss carefully by hand and use gentle cleaning methods suited to the roof covering. Where appropriate, we can apply a biocide treatment to kill off remaining spores and slow down regrowth for longer-lasting results.

While we’re up there, our roofers keep an eye out for any problems such as cracked tiles, loose ridges or worn flashing. If we spot anything that needs attention, we’ll let you know and show you what we’ve found, so you can deal with small issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
