Cast Iron Gutter Clean in Sandling Maidstone — Listed Home Roof Biocide

A lovely one, this. A listed home in Sandling dating back to the seventeenth century, absolutely full of character and history — and exactly the kind of property that needs a careful, considered approach rather than a one-size-fits-all clean.

With a roof and tiles of this age, a scrape or a steam clean wouldn't be right; the materials are simply too old and too delicate to treat that way. So we agreed with the customer on a gentler plan: clean out the original cast iron gutters, which are part of the home's character and well worth looking after, and carry out a biocide treatment to the roof instead.

The biocide will be re-applied every few months and, with the help of the weather, will gradually break down and clear the moss over time. It's a patient approach, but it's the one that suits a home like this.
