Why Settle Roofs Need Care
Why do Settle’s Dales stone properties need a careful roof cleaning approach?
Skipton has a lot of older stone properties and traditional clay and concrete tiles. Pressure washing looks impressive but it strips the protective surface off tiles and forces water under flashings. Round here that’s a real problem in winter. Manual scraping is slower but your roof comes out of it intact.
I inspect every roof before starting work, assess the tile type and moss severity, and use the right technique for your roof. You get before and after photos so you can see exactly what was done. And the biocide treatment means the results last — typically 2–4 years before moss begins to return.
