Poor leadwork from Checkatrade member

Just had to completely replace lead to a chimney which had previously been done by a Checkatrade member.
Customer had complained to Checkatrade nothing was done.
We have replaced all the leadwork, repaired damage they caused to underlay and provided the correct tiles.
I sent photos of the previous repairs to Checkatrade again completely ignored.
I wonder how these Roofers are still members!

Roof Cleaning Windlesham With AlgoClear

 
 

AlgoClear roof cleaning system

Why choose AlgoClear® Pro Softwash?

AlgoClear® Pro Softwash is for people who value time. The result is not instant, but it is deep. If the roof needs cleaning for a quick sale, it cannot help. It does not matter if the full result is seen this year, if the benefit is a full life expectation for the material. Roof periodical cleaning is a long cycle.
  • AlgoClear® Pro Softwash is safe for the applicator, the occupier and domestic animals.
  • Has the ability to interupt the reproductive cycle of common contaminants.
  • No durable environmental footprint.
  • No damage to the material, physical alteration of the surface.

The most effective choice for moss removal

A clean roof gives a property a well maintained look. It enhances its value and reflects well on its owner.
For long term roof maintenance: moss on roofs usually grows in the vertical joint between tiles, often at the tail end. The end result is increased water ingress where tiles overlap which damages the fixings and timber battens.

Roof damage to old buildings

AlgoClear Pro Softwash helps protect the roofs of old buildings
Moss, lichen and algae growth on old buildings is perceived as successful conservation but is can be very damaging to the roof and building fabric.
Gentle restoration: AlgoClear® Pro Softwash gently cleans and restores old roofs to their former beauty without causing the physical damage that results from pressure washing.

Restoring and cleaning old roofs

Mossy roofs are likely to be well into their predicted life span: Aggressively cleaning ageing roof surfaces is not advisable. Always start with gentler, milder methods for moss removal and roof cleaning such as AlgoClear® Pro Softwash
