Living next to the woods
Hockley Woods is one of the largest areas of ancient woodland in Essex, and many homes in Hockley and Hawkwell back onto it or onto other tall trees. Trees bring shade, sap, leaf litter and bird mess, and shade keeps glass damp for longer. That is exactly what turns a conservatory roof green.
Our conservatory roof clean clears the green film from the panels and the glazing bars, where moss gets a hold first, and clears the conservatory's own small gutter so water drains away.
Bigger plots and roof lanterns
Hockley has plenty of detached homes on larger plots, many with extensions, orangeries and flat roofs with lantern lights. Lanterns sit in the middle of a flat roof, so they can't be reached from a normal ladder. A long water-fed pole from the ground, or from a ladder on a solid wall, reaches them without anyone standing on the roof.
Hullbridge and the River Crouch
Hullbridge sits on the south bank of the River Crouch, with a lot of bungalows and chalet bungalows close to the water. River air and wind leave a film on glass and frames, and the low roofs make solar panels and fascias easy to reach from the ground. Our frames, sills and fascia deep clean takes the green and grey off the whole front in one visit.
Leaf season
Autumn is the busy season round here for blocked conservatory gutters and leaves sitting on glass roofs. If you want the roof done, book it after most of the leaves are down, so it stays clean through the winter.
