Moss and lichen on an old tiled valley

Roofing service

Roof cleaning in Ashford, Hythe and across the Marsh

Moss and debris cleared, and the roof checked properly while we are up there.

Moss holds water against the tiles and pushes it sideways into laps it was never meant to reach. Clearing it is straightforward, and doing it without damaging the covering is the part that takes care.

We clean the roof and the gutters, and because we are up there anyway we tell you what else we can see rather than saving it for another visit.

What the job involves

  • Moss, lichen and debris cleared from the covering
  • Gutters, valleys and outlets cleared at the same time
  • Tiles checked for cracks and slippage while access is up
  • A report on anything that needs attention, with photographs

Included in this service

  • Roof cleaning

Two roofs, half an hour apart, two specifications

Sheltered, inland Ashford
Galvanised fixings
Perfectly sound here, and cheaper. Spending more would be spending for the sake of it.
Exposed, Lydd and Dymchurch
Stainless fixings
Quoted as standard rather than as an upgrade, because the cheaper option does not survive out here.

Salt off the Channel corrodes ferrous metal far faster than ordinary damp air. We have taken tiles off roofs on the coast after nothing more than a breezy week, purely because the nails holding them had rusted through. That is a specification failure, not a tile failure.

If a roofer quotes the same specification for a Lydd bungalow as for a sheltered terrace in town, they either do not know the difference or have not priced for it.

Anyone can write nice things about themselves on their own website. We did too. These are not ours to edit, which is the point.

Ken was very helpful, knowledgeable and informative. He made sure we understood what didn't need work doing as well as what did, which is refreshingly honest and good to hear. Thank you.

Highly recommended , Very professional company, we got Kenny in through a recommendation, he gave us a reasonable price to re-roof our house. Everything was clean and tidy from start to finish and the outcome was beyond our expectations. Would definitely use again for our up and coming extension.
