Bere Ferrers roof cleaning, done properly
Bere Ferrers weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and roof cleaning is usually the first thing to suffer. Slate, stone and lime render all want a softer hand than the standard pressure wash.

Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Bere Ferrers properties we treat have granite and lime render walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Manual scrape and bag - moss never flushed into the gutters on your estuary village property
- Method
Ridge re-bedding in NHL hydraulic lime on older stone cottages and waterside houses where mortar has failed
- Method
Solar arrays worked around without disturbing fixings - common on newer Bere Ferrers builds
- Method
£5m public liability and working-at-height paperwork on file for every estuary village site
