Yeoford roof cleaning, done properly
There's a reason roof cleaning sits near the top of every Yeoford homeowner's list once spring arrives. Granite, cob and lime-rendered cottages all need handling differently from a modern render.
What's actually different about Yeoford
There's a reason roof cleaning sits near the top of every Yeoford homeowner's list once spring arrives. Granite, cob and lime-rendered cottages all need handling differently from a modern render.
Border-country village near the Devon–Cornwall line north of the A30, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We tend to batch Yeoford bookings with jobs in Lifton the same week.
What good roof cleaning looks like here
- 1Roof ladders adjusted for the pitch typical of natural slate on rural village properties
- 2Mechanical scrape before any softwash, debris bagged - never swept into rural village gutters
- 3Biocide concentration set for natural slate rather than a one-size mix
- 4Ridge re-bedding flagged separately if natural slate mortar has failed on stone cottages and farmhouses
- 5Valley flashings checked and cleared before the main rinse on stone cottages and farmhouses
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Yeoford properties we treat have painted render and stone 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 farmhouses where mortar has failed
- Method
£5m public liability and working-at-height paperwork on file for every rural village site
Typical problems on Yeoford properties
- Lichen crusts ridge tiles on rural village properties - slow to clear but it does go
- Black algae streaks running down natural slate after a wet winter in Yeoford
- Bird-and-moss debris collecting around solar arrays on rural village layouts
- Verge tiles slipping under moss weight on stone cottages and farmhouses
- Roof valleys spilling water sideways during heavy rain in Yeoford
