Why Boston properties need professional roof cleaning

Boston sits on the tidal Haven, close to The Wash, and that makes for cleaning conditions you don’t get elsewhere in Lincolnshire. Between the damp sea air and the tidal river, algae and moss grow on Boston houses about as fast as anywhere in the county. Drives near the water and in low spots can get silt and mud washed over them after high tides, and render and brickwork on riverside houses go green and black far sooner than most new owners expect.

Is your roof at risk?

Victorian houses in Boston, especially round Skirbeck, get heavy moss on the roof. The town is flat and close to water, so the air stays damp and roofs never quite dry between showers.

✗

Moss lifting tiles

Moss roots work their way under tiles and into ridge pointing, and that opens up gaps where water gets in.

✗

Freeze-thaw damage

Moss holds water, and when that freezes it expands. Over a winter it cracks tiles and wears away the pointing.

✗

Blocked valleys

Moss collects in roof valleys and blocks the drainage, which leads to damp.

✗

Reduced property value

A roof covered in moss is obvious from the street and can make buyers wonder what else has been left.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Do you clean coastal-contaminated surfaces near The Wash in Boston?

A: Yes. Salt and coastal algae need a different treatment from inland dirt, and we use products made for it. We clean properties all over the Boston area, right down to the riverside and near-coastal homes.

Q: Will you walk on my roof?

A: No. We work from ladders with long-reach tools, so in most cases nobody needs to go on the roof.

Q: How long does biocide treatment last?

A: Usually 3–5 years. Shaded north-facing roofs that stay damp may need treating again sooner.

Q: Do you repoint ridge tiles?

A: Yes, as an add-on. If we spot damaged pointing during the clean, we’ll tell you and can repoint it.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend 👌

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent job.
From start to finish what an absolute pleasure.
No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too.
Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job.
They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless.
I cannot praise them enough.
They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.
