Roof Cleaning & Coating

Unfortunately, when you buy your home you do not receive an instruction booklet or owners manual. Your home is often one of your most expensive purchases you will make. Protecting and maintaining the roof that protects you, you’re family and your possessions should be a primary concern.

Keeping your roof free from moss and debris, whether it’s a total cleaning and sealing application or just a periodic loose debris tidy-up, will make all the difference to the lasting appearance and longevity of your roof. There are many factors that assist in the deterioration of roof tiles and the roofing structure. Whether its wind and rain or even moss, unmaintained a roof can be a costly replacement when left to deteriorate

In most cases new roof tiles remain structurally sound for many years, even after the protective coating has been lost. However, old tiles manufactured by hand or inferior quality and porous materials will degrade with age unless the protective surface coating is maintained.

Re-roofing is normally not necessary as restoration of a protective and decorative coating is a relatively simple and durable process if these guidelines are observed.

Provided quality products are used, the success of the restoration is entirely dependent on the degree of preparation carried out. It is important to keep in mind that without adequate preparation the life of the applied coating will be reduced.

If the roof has been correctly prepared and coated it will provide many years of service, improving both the appearance of the building and the protective function of the roof tile

Pebble Dash and Wall Cleaning

Roughcast cleaning involves a special cleaning solution that is lightly sprayed over your walls, and then rinsed off. This type of low pressure soft washing ensures that no damage is caused during the cleaning process. High pressure washing systems may appear to gain the desired effect, but they cause irreparable damage to your build, as water penetrates the render through small and sometimes hairline cracks.

Our low pressure roughcast cleaning solution ensures that no pebbles will be dislodged or lost during the cleaning process. We use the same low pressure cleaning solutions for render, brick, and stonework, working on both public and private properties. Our cleaning solutions will kill off algae and moss, preventing regrowth and ensuring your walls look like new for longer. Take a look at our technical information here, to find out just how our render cleaning solutions will really work for you.

Over time pebbledash walls become dirty with everyday grime & Fungi. Some older properties have a red dye that appears through the pebbledash, this is because the building sand used didn’t get treated prior to the build.

We use a chemical mixture that acts as a bleaching solution guaranteed to clean pebbledash. Once cleaned it is estimated to stay clean from 5/10 years depending on the surrounding area

Across Scotland we are prone to damp weather, especially in winter. What this means is that pebbledash and render look old before their time. A once white building will become streaked with black and red oxide stains, or covered in unsightly moss and algae. You may think that the easiest way to get your building looking new again would be to paint it. But you would be wrong.

Painting over your roughcast is an expensive mistake. What you need is a cleaning and roughcast repair service you can rely on. Cleaning your building instead of painting over the dirt and grime will ensure it stays looking new for long. What’s more, cleaning your render is cheaper than a re-painting job. A win-win situation for all concerned.

Driveway Cleaning Services

4 Steps to total satisfaction!

The service we provide involves a 4 stepped cleaning process. Each stage is described below.

Step 1 - Surface Cleaning

In all likelihood, you will have looked at your hard surface areas - drive, patio, decking - and wondered why their appearance has deteriorated over time. What is the best way to revive your drive, perk up your patio or spruce up your decking? In fact, by just cleaning your paving / drive / patio areas with specialist equipment, we will transform that 'tired' look to a 'like new' appearance again. Using purpose made equipment, we clean the hard surface concerned with a contained and concentrated high pressure water jet. This removes moss and algae, grime and general outdoor dirt that etches onto hard surfaces over time.

Most importantly, our industrial machines are not only more powerful than any equipment you might be able to hire (or even buy!), but we take care of the cleaning process without the downsides associated with home pressure washers which consume high volumes of water and send water shooting in all directions!

Step 2 - Fungicidal wash

We can help you maximise the intervals between drive maintenance work by using a fungicidal spray. Application of a fungicide kills off residual dislodged spores of moss and lichen. These spores have been totally removed from the surface, restoring the "wow" factor. To keep that "wow" factor, it's best to "zap" the area with a fungicide to stop the critters lurking in the gaps and coming back any time soon !

Step 3 - Re-sanding

We will re-sand any jointing material dislodged during the cleaning process, so all weeds can be removed, with peace of mind that the jointing will be re-instated like new! We will brush in all the jointing with fresh sand. Not just any old sand - we use kiln dried sand which is the right tool for the job. You may well ask: is that it - just cleaning and re-sanding the jointing? Well, not quite! If you want your cleaned Surfaces to remain looking fresh for as long as possible, we recommend a third step: applying a finishing layer of protective sealant of acrylic coating.

Step 4 - Sealant

We certainly recommend that you seriously consider having a coat of clear protective sealant sprayed over the pre-treated area of paving concerned. This will prolong the life of the treatment and keep your revitalised paving area looking its best for much longer. Put it this way, while we are on site already, it makes sense to pay a little bit extra to protect your hard surfaces for much longer, so that you and your property will get the maximum benefit from calling the specialists in!
