Step-by-step

What we do and why

Follow the journey from first survey to final sign-off so you know exactly what to expect.

1) Diagnosis

We start with a visual survey (ground and, if needed, drone) to check tile type, condition, and ventilation. This is where we confirm the right cleaning approach and whether repairs are required.

2) Deep Clean

A careful softwash removes organic growth and staining. We tailor pressure and solutions to protect the tile surface.

Show the softwash in action: include safety lines, controlled spray, and masked areas to highlight care.

3) Clean-Up

We don't leave a mess. Paths, windows, and gutters are rinsed and cleared so the home looks cared for, not just the roof.

Highlight the tidy-up: include gutter clearing, path rinsing, and protective sheeting being removed.

4) Repair

If we find cracked tiles or loose ridge mortar, we fix what's sensible while we're on site - preventing small problems turning into big ones.

Focus on the repair detail: show ridge repointing or tile replacement with tidy tools and safety gear.

5) Anti-Fungal Wash

A targeted biocide inhibits regrowth of moss and lichen, helping the results last longer.

Feature the controlled biocide spray with labelled containers and protective gear to emphasise safety.

6) Treatment (Two-coat protective finish)

We apply a breathable, weather-tough coating in two coats to specification. It's designed to keep colour true and help the roof stay cleaner for longer.

Show the two-coat application: include spray rig, masked features, and even coverage for professionalism.

7) Final Clean-Up

Once the treatment cures, we clear protective sheeting, rinse down, and leave the site tidy so the last checks go smoothly.

8) Final Check & Handover

We inspect our work, capture photos for your records, and share simple aftercare advice. You'll know exactly what we did and what to expect next.
