Exterior cleaning in Paisley: roof moss is the big one in paisley
Paisley gets more rain than central Glasgow, and it shows on the roofs. The 1960s and 70s semis and bungalows around the town were mostly built with concrete interlocking tiles, and after a few decades without treatment the north pitches can be almost completely covered in moss. Homeowners often come to us after being told they need a new roof.
Our job there is to find out whether the tiles are still sound underneath. If they are, we scrape the heavy moss off from the ridge down onto a tarp, soft-wash with biocide, rinse at low pressure and clear the gutters afterwards, because that moss always ends up in the gutters otherwise. Render and gutter work on the same houses is the other half of our Paisley diary.
