Roof Cleaning in Wrexham

What we see on Wrexham roof cleaning jobs

Wrexham roofs carry more moss than almost anywhere else we work, and it is not hard to see why. The town sits on the wet side of the border, rain comes in off the hills for much of the year, and the housing gives moss plenty to hold on to. Concrete tiles on the post-war and newer estates at Gwersyllt, Rhostyllen and Acton have a rough, porous face that moss roots into, while the older Welsh slate over the Rhosddu terraces and the Garden Village gathers it along the laps and in the shaded north-facing valleys. Out at Gresford and Marford, mature trees around larger plots keep whole pitches damp and drop leaf litter that turns to compost on the roof. Roof cleaning in Wrexham has to respect the covering. Slate that has been up for a century is brittle and often loose on its nails, so it is scraped and brushed by hand from the ridge or from access equipment, never blasted with a pressure washer. We lift the moss off, clear what has fallen into the gutters and valleys, check the roofline while we are up there, and offer a biocide treatment so a Wrexham roof stays clear for longer once the roof clean is done.
