What Melton Mowbray customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
Roofs in Melton Mowbray — What We See
Melton Mowbray is the market town famous for pork pies and Stilton cheese, set where the River Eye meets the River Wreake in the east of the county.
Older roofs in Melton are often Welsh slate or clay tiles, while the estates are concrete tiles that grow moss on the north side. Open countryside around the town brings plenty of airborne spores. If you can see green tufts from the street, a Melton Mowbray roof is usually due a clean.
Exposed homes on the edge of Melton, facing open farmland, get a steady supply of wind-blown spores. Lichen spots on these roofs often come back unless a biocide is applied after cleaning.
Hand-scraping takes off the heavy growth without damaging the tile surface. A gentle soft-wash cleans the tiles — never high-pressure washing. Downpipes are checked at the end, as roof moss often ends up in them.
