Do you bag the moss or just throw it down?

Bagged and removed. We don't sweep moss into the gutters, the borders, or the neighbour's garden.

What about my solar panels?

We work around panels without disturbing fixings. If the panels themselves need cleaning that's a separate visit by specialists who own the connection.

Will you re-bed loose ridge tiles?

If we spot loose or cracked ridge tiles during the clean we'll flag them and quote the bedding work separately — we don't slip it onto the invoice.

Will it affect the warranty on a new roof?

Manufacturer warranties on modern tiles specifically allow biocidal softwash. Anything else, we'd check the warranty document before quoting.

Is walking on the tiles going to crack them?

Only careless walking does. We use roof ladders that spread the load across multiple battens, and we only foot-traffic where access actually requires it.

Roof Cleaning · Eggbuckland, PL6

Eggbuckland roof cleaning, done properly

Plenty of Eggbuckland properties were never designed with regular roof cleaning in mind, which is exactly why it matters. Hillside estates north-east of the city with valley views, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out.

Why Eggbuckland matters for this kind of work

Newer estates have shallow gutters and shorter downpipes that block faster than people expect. We tend to batch Eggbuckland bookings with jobs in Higher Compton the same week.
