PGL Builders was engaged to carry out comprehensive moss removal and roof maintenance on a large, historic period house featuring a traditional tile roof. Over time, moss growth had accumulated across the roof structure, posing potential risks to both the roof’s integrity and the overall aesthetics of the property. The project required careful, non-invasive techniques to preserve the original materials while ensuring long-term protection against moss regrowth.
Assessment and Planning:
Conducted a detailed inspection of the roof to assess the extent of moss growth, identify any pre-existing damage, and develop a safe, effective removal strategy.
Moss Removal:
Utilised industry-approved, non-destructive cleaning techniques, including manual scraping and low-pressure washing, to carefully remove moss from the roof tiles without compromising the tile structure or protective coatings.
Roof Tile Preservation:
Inspected individual tiles for cracks, dislodgements, or wear. Damaged tiles were repaired or replaced using matching period-appropriate materials to maintain the home’s historic character.
Preventative Treatment:
Applied eco-friendly, moss-inhibiting treatments to the roof surface to minimize future growth while preserving the natural appearance of the tiles.
Gutter and Drainage Clearance:
Cleared gutters, downpipes, and drainage systems of moss debris to ensure proper water flow and prevent blockages.
Safety and Environmental Considerations:
Employed scaffolding and safety harness systems to guarantee worker safety. Eco-conscious practices were prioritised to protect surrounding gardens and propertyfeatures.
PGL Builders’ expertise in heritage roof maintenance ensured a respectful and effective approach to preserving the beauty and integrity of this period home.
