Why we built a Quethiock page for roof cleaning
Most roof cleaning jobs we book in Quethiock come from owners who've put it off one winter too long. Small parish east of Liskeard with a well-known Celtic cross, which shapes how roof cleaning on granite and painted render and Cornish slate actually plays out around PL14.
Septic-served properties make it worth thinking about runoff before any cleaning starts. Crews are based 15.1 miles away in PL3, so callouts to Quethiock are short. Exposure here is moderate - 15.1 miles from our PL3 base makes turnaround short.
Most enquiries we take are from owners who've been thinking about it for a while and finally caught the right week for the weather. Where photographs are agreed, they can document the visible condition of the surface and the completed work. If your neighbour books at the same time we drop the callout portion — genuinely worth mentioning next door. Roof harnesses are anchored and inspected before anyone leaves the ground. Ridge tile re-bedding and any other small remedial work is quoted separately, never bundled into the wash price. Roof re-bed work gets its own dedicated day — nobody wants a wet roof left open overnight. Downpipe inlets are water-tested before we leave, not just visually checked. Fresh brush heads go on the pole for every glazing job over five years old. Runoff is diverted with drain bungs where soakaways feed straight into wildlife ponds. First-visit customers get a written surface report at no cost, whether they book more work or not. Communication defaults to WhatsApp because photo threads keep quotes and outcomes in one place. We priority-book care-home and rental customers because their timelines are usually tightest. For historic properties we send a method statement covering exactly what will and won't be used. Rain-day contingency is baked into the price — no extra charge if we come back a second day to finish. If a re-clean is needed we book it in rather than debating who was right about the surface.

What usually triggers the call in Quethiock
- Lichen crusts ridge tiles on rural village properties - slow to clear but it does go - on stone cottages stock - the reason we send photos on completion rather than invoice cold.
- Verge tiles slipping under moss weight on stone cottages and farmhouses - at moderate exposure - the elevation that always dictates the price.
- Hip tile mortar weathering on the south slope of Cornish slate - in the Cornwall Council patch - one of the calls we get most in the wetter half of the year.
- Skylight surrounds collecting moss debris on rural village properties - 15.1 miles from PL3 - handled with the same rig we use for coastal properties.
- Roof-vent grilles blocked with bird-and-moss material on stone cottages and farmhouses - at roughly 50.462,-4.399 - and it's why we default to the softer end of the pressure range.
