Roof cleaning across Widnes
Slate and porous tile get a hand scrape and a soft wash treatment from us, never raw pressure, so the covering stays watertight while the moss dies off.
Widnes sits on flat, low ground beside the Mersey estuary, and the damp river air hangs over the town for much of the year. Mature trees around Victoria Park and along the Appleton avenues keep whole rows in shade, while the open estates at Hough Green and Upton Rocks catch the wind but stay wet through winter all the same. North-facing roofs, walls and drives barely dry between showers here, which is why moss and green algae come back within a season or two unless the growth is properly treated rather than just knocked off.
