Common issues we see in Aveton Gifford

  • Thick moss on the Modbury-facing slopes of natural slate
  • Lichen crusts ridge tiles on estuary village properties - slow to clear but it does go
  • Bird-and-moss debris collecting around solar arrays on estuary village layouts
  • Verge tiles slipping under moss weight on stone cottages and converted farm buildings
  • Chimney crown moss-colonised at Aveton Gifford's exposed exposure

The method that suits Aveton Gifford

  1. 1Mechanical scrape before any softwash, debris bagged - never swept into estuary village gutters
  2. 2Biocide concentration set for natural slate rather than a one-size mix
  3. 3Ridge re-bedding flagged separately if natural slate mortar has failed on stone cottages and converted farm buildings
  4. 4Solar arrays masked to keep softwash off the panels on newer Aveton Gifford builds
  5. 5Valley flashings checked and cleared before the main rinse on stone cottages and converted farm buildings
