Roof cleaning across Huyton
We never put a jet on a Huyton roof: the moss comes off with a gentle soft wash and a treatment that stops it growing back through the wet months.
Huyton sits on flat, low ground in the damp Mersey basin, with mature parkland at Court Hey and Bowring Park on its Liverpool side and tree screens planted along the M57 and M62 corridors. The corporation estates were laid out with grass verges and street trees that have grown huge, so plenty of roofs, drives and gables sit in shade for much of the day and stay wet long after the rain stops. That lingering damp feeds moss and algae, which is why growth comes straight back unless it is killed off properly rather than just rinsed away.
