Summary: We were recently contacted by the new owners of a detached home in Langdon Hills, a quiet suburb of Basildon, Essex. The property had recently changed hands and was undergoing an extensive renovation to modernise and refresh the look of the home. While the interiors had been brought up to date, the exterior (particularly the roof) was letting the side down, hence the need for a team that could provide the best roof coating and roof cleaning in Basildon.
The roof itself was structurally sound, but it was heavily covered in moss and dirt, which gave it a tired, weathered appearance. The new homeowners were keen to give the property the wow factor it deserved, and that meant the roof needed to be brought up to the same standard as the rest of their home makeover.
They were looking for a local roof cleaning company with the expertise to restore the look of the roof while also providing long-lasting protection. As ProPERLA Platinum Approved Applicators (one of only a select few across the UK), they knew Universal Eco Homes were the right team for the job.
After an initial site survey, we devised a plan to transform the roof with our two-step process: expert roof cleaning in Basildon, followed by a professional ProPERLA roof coating application in their chosen colour, Blue Black.
We began by carefully removing the thick moss and organic growth that had built up over time. This isn’t just an aesthetic problem. Moss can trap moisture against the tiles, weakening them and shortening the roof’s lifespan. Using our specialist tools and eco-friendly treatments, our experienced team cleaned every inch of the roof to reveal the original tiles underneath. Because we’re a fully insured and safety-conscious team (with our own in-house Health & Safety Officer), we ensured the job was completed safely and efficiently, even while other trades were working on the property during renovations.
Once we had completed our roof cleaning in Basildon, we applied the ProPERLA roof coating. As Platinum Approved Applicators, we apply all coatings by an airless sprayer while physically working on the roof. This ensures precision and full coverage, something that roof cleaners offering coatings as a bolt-on service simply cannot achieve.
The Blue Black finish chosen by the homeowners offered a sleek, modern touch that complemented the updated look of their property. But it’s not just about appearance. ProPERLA coatings also offer breathable, weatherproof protection that actively repels water and resists dirt, helping to keep the roof looking cleaner for longer, all our colour coatings also come with a 10 year manufacturer warranty and a 25 year life expectancy. It’s the perfect finish for homeowners who want to extend the life of their roof while maintaining a stylish kerb appeal.
