Red Algae and Roof Moss removal from House in Tullagh Bay

After our initial careful assessment it was established that to bring the property back to it’s original glory it would need the following procedures to be addressed.

1. Roof and Capping: Moss and yellow lichen removal using Biocide
2. Guttering and Downpipes: Emptied and cleaned plus faded areas restored back to black
3. Walls: Red algae removal using Biocide
4. Path and Decking: Power washed and treated with Biocide
5. Windows: Frames and glass cleaning plus ongoing bi monthly window clean setup
6. Decoration: Paint window reveals, sills and chimney

The Procedure;

Roof and Cappings

We always try where possible to work from the top down so as it was in this instance we commenced with the Roof.

We will never walk on any roof to clean so working from ladders at gutter level we use scrapers to remove 90%-95% of the moss and lichen and then we will spray the whole roof using telescopic poles that allows us to get up close to the areas being sprayed thus minimises overspray.

The Bio cleanse products we use for the removal of all algae, lichen, fungi, moss and mould that cause red, green, yellow and black staining is not only completely safe to plants and animals it also has a long term residual effect which keeps the treated areas clean for longer.

Guttering, Fascia, Soffits and Downpipes

Were emptied and cleaned cleaned and where the black finish had dulled to a matt grey appearance this was provided with a treatment that restores them back to a shiny black finish.

Pebbled Dash Walls and Stonework

Depending on the extent of algae infestation a liquid solution is created that is sprayed on from the bottom up and left to do its work. In some areas where it was particularly severe a second coat was applied after 3-4 hours.

Windows and Frames

Virtually all the windows still had the protective tape still in-situ and had got to a point where it had became cracked and fragile. This was removed using a special nozzle we have for the pressure washer that does no damage to the PVC frames

Paths, Decking and Kerbs

These were all cleaned using the pressure washer and then sprayed with our Bio cleanse solution that provides residual cleaning for months and years to come
