The Brief:
In May of last year, Mrs G from Stamford, Lincolnshire, approached Universal Eco Homes with concerns about her property’s roof. As it turns out, she was right to be concerned, as her recently renovated detached house (which also features an extension), had a roof in both a poor physical and aesthetical condition. Moss, dirt, and general debris had built up significantly, leaving the roof looking aged, neglected, and completely out of place compared with the rest of the newly renovated property.
Initially, Mrs G considered investing in a brand-new roof – a costly and disruptive undertaking. Fortunately for her, after discovering our roof cleaning and coating services through a Google search, she reached out to see if we could provide a more affordable and efficient solution.
The Solution:
After taking up our offer of a free consultation and thorough roof survey, our expert team recommended a complete roof cleaning and coating service using ProPERLA Rustic. This solution would not only restore the roof’s appearance but also protect it for years to come with a 10-year manufacturer-backed warranty. Mrs G agreed with our recommendation, so we got to work!
We began by conducting a full safety risk assessment to ensure the safety of our team and the property. As a professional roof cleaning company, health and safety are paramount in every project we undertake. For all roof cleaning and coating projects, we ensure our team members are fully trained and qualified in various safety disciplines, including:
- First Aid
- Manual Handling
- Harness Training
- Working at Heights
- Ladder Safety
- IPAF (International Powered Access Federation)
- PASMA Tower (Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association)
With safety measures in place, we proceeded with a comprehensive roof cleaning process. Our experienced roof cleaners removed all moss, dirt, and debris using specialist equipment designed to protect the roof tiles. Once the roof was clean, we applied a biocide treatment to eliminate any remaining spores and help prevent moss and algae regrowth.
The final step involved applying ProPERLA Rustic across the entire roof, including the new extension. As the only approved ProPERLA Platinum Applicators within 140 miles of Colchester, we ensured the coating was applied with precision. ProPERLA Rustic provides exceptional protection by creating a water-repellent, breathable barrier that helps roof tiles stay dry, reduces thermal loss, and enhances the roof’s lifespan.
The Outcome:
The project was completed in just two days by two of our skilled roof coaters, minimising disruption for Mrs G. The transformation was nothing short of remarkable. The roof, previously marred by moss and grime, was restored to a clean, uniform finish that perfectly matched the renovated property and extension. The ProPERLA Rustic coating not only improved the property’s curb appeal but also delivered several long-term benefits:
Water Repellency:
The roof now repels rainwater, preventing moisture ingress and reducing the risk of damage.
Protection from Moss and Algae:
The biocide treatment, combined with ProPERLA’s advanced formula, helps inhibit the growth of moss and algae.
Enhanced Aesthetics:
The newly coated roof gave the property a refreshed, well-maintained appearance.
Cost Savings:
By choosing our roof cleaning and coating service instead of a full roof replacement, Mrs G saved a substantial amount of money.
Mrs G was thrilled with the results and particularly appreciated the 10-year warranty that accompanied the ProPERLA Rustic coating, giving her peace of mind about the durability of the work.
