How we'd approach this in Ugborough
- 1Mechanical scrape before any softwash, debris bagged - never swept into rural village gutters
- 2Biocide concentration set for natural slate rather than a one-size mix
- 3Ridge re-bedding flagged separately if natural slate mortar has failed on stone cottages and Georgian farmhouses
- 4Hip-tile and verge tiles inspected during the scrape on natural slate
- 5Valley flashings checked and cleared before the main rinse on stone cottages and Georgian farmhouses
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Ugborough properties we treat have painted render and Dartmoor granite 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
Solar arrays worked around without disturbing fixings - common on newer Ugborough builds
- Method
£5m public liability and working-at-height paperwork on file for every rural village site
