Roof Cleaning that suits Mainstone
If the roof cleaning at your Mainstone property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Estate homes share elevations with neighbours, so an uneven clean stands out from the moment you turn into the close.
What we see on Mainstone properties
If the roof cleaning at your Mainstone property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Estate homes share elevations with neighbours, so an uneven clean stands out from the moment you turn into the close.
Quiet 1980s pocket between Leigham and Estover, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Working out of PL6 we're rarely more than 3.5 miles from a Mainstone job.
What good roof cleaning looks like here
- 1Roof ladders adjusted for the pitch typical of concrete interlocking tile on modern estate properties
- 2Mechanical scrape before any softwash, debris bagged - never swept into modern estate gutters
- 3Ridge re-bedding flagged separately if concrete interlocking tile mortar has failed on 1980s detached and cul-de-sac estates
- 4Skylight surrounds cleared by hand on modern estate properties
- 5Solar arrays masked to keep softwash off the panels on newer Mainstone builds
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Mainstone properties we treat have render and brick walls and a concrete interlocking tile roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Aluminium roof ladders sized for the pitch typical of concrete interlocking tile
- Method
Full-pitch biocide softwash via low-pressure boom across concrete interlocking tile
- Method
Ridge re-bedding in NHL hydraulic lime on older 1980s detached and cul-de-sac estates where mortar has failed
- Method
Solar arrays worked around without disturbing fixings - common on newer Mainstone builds
Where it usually starts in Mainstone

- Roof valleys spilling water sideways during heavy rain in Mainstone
- Hip tile mortar weathering on the south slope of concrete interlocking tile

Things Mainstone customers ask us first
Honest recap (Mainstone)
roof cleaning isn't urgent until it is. Catch it on the way down and the price is small; leave it for a fourth winter and it becomes a project. Mainstone weather doesn't slow down for anyone.
