What we see on Avonwick properties

If the roof cleaning at your Avonwick property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Septic-served properties make it worth thinking about runoff before any cleaning starts.

Riverside hamlet on the Avon east of South Brent, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Working out of TQ10 we're rarely more than 14.9 miles from a Avonwick job.

What good roof cleaning looks like here

  1. 1Roof ladders adjusted for the pitch typical of natural slate on rural village properties
  2. 2Mechanical scrape before any softwash, debris bagged - never swept into rural village gutters
  3. 3Biocide concentration set for natural slate rather than a one-size mix
  4. 4Harness anchor verified before anyone leaves the ground on moderate rural village sites
  5. 5Hip-tile and verge tiles inspected during the scrape on natural slate

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Avonwick properties we treat have granite and painted render walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Aluminium roof ladders sized for the pitch typical of natural slate

  • Method

    Manual scrape and bag - moss never flushed into the gutters on your rural village property

  • Method

    Ridge re-bedding in NHL hydraulic lime on older stone cottages and converted mill buildings where mortar has failed

  • Method

    Solar arrays worked around without disturbing fixings - common on newer Avonwick builds

Where it usually starts in Avonwick

  • Thick moss on the South Brent-facing slopes of natural slate
  • Bird-and-moss debris collecting around solar arrays on rural village layouts
  • Moss lifting individual natural slate where bedding mortar has failed
  • Verge tiles slipping under moss weight on stone cottages and converted mill buildings
  • Roof valleys spilling water sideways during heavy rain in Avonwick
