What Barrow upon Soar customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
When a Barrow upon Soar Roof Needs Cleaning
Barrow upon Soar is a village on the River Soar, famous for the fossil plesiosaur found there and known locally as the Barrow Kipper.
The damp river air means moss grows well on Barrow roofs, both on older slate and clay and on modern concrete tiles. Most Barrow upon Soar roofs need cleaning every 2–3 years, with north-facing slopes showing moss first.
Damp air near the Soar helps moss and algae grow on Barrow roofs, especially those facing away from the sun.
On Barrow upon Soar roofs we start by clearing the moss from the tiles, ridges and valleys. The roof is then soft-washed at low pressure. The gutters are cleared afterwards so the moss doesn't block them.
