Seaton's roof cleaning specialists
The best time to book roof cleaning in Seaton is the same week you start thinking about it. Bungalows take the worst of it because there's nowhere for water to go but the wall itself.
Why we built a Seaton page for roof cleaning
The best time to book roof cleaning in Seaton is the same week you start thinking about it. Bungalows take the worst of it because there's nowhere for water to go but the wall itself.
Small Cornish beach settlement between Downderry and Looe, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We're frequently in and around PL11, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect.

Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Seaton properties we treat have painted render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile and slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Aluminium roof ladders sized for the pitch typical of concrete tile and slate
- Method
Manual scrape and bag - moss never flushed into the gutters on your coastal village property
- Method
Full-pitch biocide softwash via low-pressure boom across concrete tile and slate
- Method
£5m public liability and working-at-height paperwork on file for every coastal village site
What usually triggers the call in Seaton
- Thick moss on the Downderry-facing slopes of concrete tile and slate
- Lichen crusts ridge tiles on coastal village properties - slow to clear but it does go
- Tile valleys jammed with moss spilling into gutters - common on coastal village stock at this exposure
- Black algae streaks running down concrete tile and slate after a wet winter in Seaton
- Roof-vent grilles blocked with bird-and-moss material on seafront bungalows and modern detached
