Roof cleaning in Carbis Bay Cornwall

MKM Exterior Cleaning recently completed a professional roof cleaning and gutter clearance service at a property in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, including the application of a specialist biocide treatment to the roof tiles.

Properties in coastal areas such as Carbis Bay are regularly exposed to moisture, wind, rain and salt in the air. Over time, this can lead to a build-up of moss, algae, lichen and general organic growth across roof tiles and within guttering systems. If left untreated, this can affect the appearance of the property and may also contribute to blocked gutters, poor rainwater flow and unnecessary strain on roofline drainage.

For this project, our team carefully removed moss and organic growth from the roof tiles using a controlled and professional cleaning process. Roof cleaning requires the correct approach, as aggressive or unsuitable methods can damage tiles, disturb the roof surface or create unnecessary mess around the property. We worked carefully across the roof to remove visible growth and leave the surface clean, tidy and prepared for treatment.

Once the roof had been cleaned, we carried out a full gutter clearance to remove moss, leaves, silt and debris that had collected within the guttering. Keeping gutters clear is an important part of property maintenance, as blocked gutters can cause rainwater to overflow, leading to staining, damp issues, damage to fascias and potential problems around the property’s exterior.

After the roof cleaning and gutter clearance had been completed, a professional biocide treatment was applied to the roof tiles. This treatment helps target remaining microscopic organic spores that may not be visible after the initial clean. The biocide continues to work over time, helping to slow down the return of moss, algae and lichen while improving the long-term appearance of the roof.

The finished result was a much cleaner and more well-maintained roof, with the guttering left clear and functioning properly. The roof tiles were visibly improved, and the biocide treatment will continue to assist in keeping the roof looking cleaner for longer.
