Roof Cleaning in Ellesmere Port

What we see on Ellesmere Port roof cleaning jobs

Ellesmere Port roofs are mostly concrete interlocking tile from the 1950s to 70s building boom, and after half a century that tile has a rough, weathered face that moss loves. Because the town sits flat and open beside the Mersey, roofs do not dry out between showers in winter, so the north-facing pitches across Great Sutton, Rivacre and Wolverham build up thick green cushions along the tile courses that eventually break loose and slide into the gutters. The lower-pitched roofs on the 1990s and later estates around Hooton and Little Sutton hold moss just as well, and the bungalows scattered through Ellesmere Port's older estates are often the worst because nobody has looked at the roof since it was built. Down at the docks end the Victorian terraces near the Port Arcades wear slate that needs a lighter hand. Roof cleaning in Ellesmere Port is done from the ridge or from access equipment, scraping and brushing the moss off rather than jet washing it, because water forced under a porous concrete tile does far more harm than the moss ever did. We clear the debris from the gutters and valleys, note anything the roofline needs, and apply a biocide so the roof stays cleaner for longer after the roof clean, all a short run from our Chester base.
