How we'd approach this in Milton Combe

  1. 1Mechanical scrape before any softwash, debris bagged - never swept into rural village gutters
  2. 2Biocide concentration set for natural slate rather than a one-size mix
  3. 3Harness anchor verified before anyone leaves the ground on moderate rural village sites
  4. 4Hip-tile and verge tiles inspected during the scrape on natural slate
  5. 5Valley flashings checked and cleared before the main rinse on stone cottages and converted farm buildings

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Milton Combe 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

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

  • Method

    Full-pitch biocide softwash via low-pressure boom across natural slate

  • Method

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

  • Method

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