Exterior Cleaning Transformation: Roof Cleaning and Coating Project in Buntingford
A house in Buntingford was in dire need of roof cleaning and restoration. Universal Eco Homes answered the call for this roof cleaning and coating project, giving our clients’ home a new lease of life.
How Universal Eco Homes Nailed a Roof Cleaning and Coating Project in Buntingford
Kerb appeal is the make-or-break factor for any home. The exterior of the house is what creates the first impression – and when it comes to the exterior, the roof is probably what makes the most impact.
A Buntingford home was in desperate need of roof restoration. The once vibrant roof tiles were completely discoloured and overrun by moss and grime after years of neglect. The homeowners knew they needed someone they could trust with their roof cleaning and coating project, and knew just who to call – Universal Eco Homes.
In this case study, we’ll showcase the roof cleaning and coating project in Buntingford.
The Challenge: A Roof That Craved Attention
When we got to the location, the team had to take a moment to take in the stunning landscape. The house was built on a large property, complete with a lush garden and a beautiful patio. But the roof was discoloured due to weather effects over the years.
It’s a normal sight for UK homes in most cases. The moisture and heat takes its toll on the roof tiles leaving it looking faded and weathered! Like any other roof cleaning and coating project, it was perfectly fixable for the Universal Eco Homes team.
The Roof Cleaning and Coating Steps
Universal Eco Homes followed a three-step process to efficiently tackle the roof cleaning and coating project:
Deep Cleaning the Roof Tiles
The first step to a roof cleaning and coating project is also the one that’s most important – choosing the wash type. The team set off cleaning the clay-tiled roof, being extremely careful not to damage it in any way.
We went with a controlled wash using our specialised sprayer, to gently break apart the surface layer of moss, lichen, and algae that had built up over the years. To avoid causing damage, we were extra careful around the vents in the roof.
Biocide Treatment to Eliminate Growth
Once the first part of the roof cleaning and coating project was done, it was time to get rid of the growth once and for all. For this next step, the team used our proprietary biodegradable biocide solution. This step takes care of any residual moss or algae that didn’t get cleaned during the softwash.
What made this step challenging was the stunning garden around the property. We paid extra attention to ensure the biocide solution was strictly contained on the roof.
ProPERLA Roof Coating as the Icing on the Cake
At this point, the roof was already looking great. The final piece of the puzzle was the ProPERLA roof coating. This superhydrophobic coating is designed to enhance the durability, performance, and longevity of the roof tiles while improving their aesthetics.
We are the only authorised ProPERLA applicator within a 100 mile radius of Colchester, and proud holders of the Platinum Applicator Award. Our team is fully trained in its use, so rest assured that your roof is safe in our hands.
For this roof cleaning and coating project, we wanted to preserve as much of the natural aesthetic of the beautiful clay tile. ProPERLA Water Repellent clear coat was the perfect choice for this. After applying this one-coat treatment, our job was done. The roof will remain clean and free of organic growth for 10 years with ProPERLA’s guarantee.
Client Satisfaction is Our Priority
By the time the roof cleaning and coating project was complete, the difference was night and day. The roof looked unrecognisably better — you could barely tell it was the same house! The client shared our excitement and thanked us for a job well done.
