“I recently had the roof lining, battens and tiles replaced by this company. My neighbour had a water leak into one of their bedrooms caused by the roof lining deteriorating. It was 60 years old, so had lasted quite well. I had a couple of dis-lodged tiles and on removal the battens were found to be in a bad state of repair. The work was carried out and completed in around a week. Apart from a couple of small snags ( which were corrected very quickly) everything seems to be ok. This has enhanced the look of the house and I am pleased with the result.”

Roof moss cleaning and prevention in Braintree

Roof moss cleaning in Braintree typically involves brushing or scraping away moss and applying a biocidal wash to kill spores and stop regrowth.

This gentle approach avoids the risk of damaging roof tiles while restoring the roof’s surface.

Keeping your tarmac free from moss not only enhances kerb appeal but also reduces the chance of slipping in wet conditions.
