Exterior cleaning in Bearsden: heavy moss, big drives and slate roofs
Bearsden is the heaviest moss area we cover. Large sandstone and inter-war villas, mature trees and shaded slate roofs mean moss on roofs, driveways and paths is the headline job, often all on one property.
Block-paved driveways here tend to be large and to have gone years between cleans. We pre-treat moss and any oil marks, clean with a commercial rotary surface cleaner so there is no striping, re-sand the joints and finish with a biocide. Slate roofs get a soft-wash, and window cleaning with pure water-fed poles is a regular follow-on booking for the same customers.
Mature trees also mean gutters on these houses fill with leaves and seed every autumn, and a blocked gutter on a tall villa can soak the sandstone underneath for months before anyone notices. We clear them with a vacuum system and check the downpipes run freely. Where the stonework itself has turned green or black, we can soft-wash it too, but we always test first, because older sandstone needs gentler chemistry than modern render.
