Roof cleaning across Newton-le-Willows
We scrape and lift the moss by hand, then treat the roof at low pressure, which is the only safe way to clean slate and tile this old.
Water and trees shaped this town. Sankey Brook winds through on its way under the nine arches of the Sankey Viaduct, Newton Brook cuts its own wooded valley through the middle, and Sankey Valley Park runs a green corridor right past the houses. All that shade and running water keeps surfaces damp long after the rain has stopped, and the wet air that hangs over the Mersey basin does the rest. Moss and algae come back fastest on north-facing roofs and on any wall, drive or patio sitting under the tree cover.
