Roof Cleaning & Refurbishment

Great Outdoors and In enjoy an excellent reputation locally for our specialist roof cleaning and refurbishment services. Our approach is thorough and the finished result will reduce long term maintenance and prolong the life of your roof. Why pay out to re-roof? when, very often, a refurbishment can improve the appearance and performance of your roof.

Whilst cleaning roofs especially on domestic properties it is not always possible to work from booms or scissor lifts, due to the weight of the machines. The system which we use is a combination of roof ladders (where possible) and the latest fall restraint system for Health and Safety.

The operators wear a safety harness attached to a positioning rope and a separate fall arrest rope, both of which are attached to a suitable ground anchorage point. In recognition of the use of this process Great Outdoors and In has achieved SAFEcontractor accreditation.

In simple terms this provides the operator the maximum protection, as it protects the operator in the event of a slip and ensures the operator is working as safe as possible whilst carrying out the cleaning process. Please note we do not use scaffolding as this offers limited protection to the operators.

At the quotation stage please check with other companies, how the operator will carry out the cleaning.

Our process for roof cleaning is as follows:-

• Cover and protect non treatment roof areas with tarpaulins
• Disconnect main guttering down pipes
• Pressure wash roof removing moss, lichen, algae fungi, dirt and pollutants
• Replace all missing, broken or damaged tiles or slates, re-point / re-bed if required
• Clean and unblock all guttering
• Clean all soffits and fascias
• Reconnect downpipes
• Apply moss killer treatment to eliminate any remaining moss spores
• Remove tarpaulins and waste, wash down hard surfaces
• Window clean
• Finally – Option to colour or seal tiles

All of our operators are all fully insured and highly experienced in the use of the equipment and materials they work with. Please see our about us section for more details on our accreditations, licences and proficiencies in competent areas.
