Roof cleaning across Rainford
Slate and porous tile get a hand scrape and a soft wash from us, never raw pressure, so the covering stays sound while the treatment sees off the regrowth.
Rainford sits low on flat, drained mossland, old peat farmland threaded with ditches and brooks that keep the water table high all year. The open fields let the wind through, but the hedged lanes, the mature trees around the church and the planting on the culs-de-sac hold shade well into the afternoon, and the damp air off the moss never really lets sheltered surfaces dry. That is why moss, green algae and black spot come back quicker on north-facing roofs, walled patios and tree-lined drives here than the open aspect of the village might suggest.
