Render cleaning in Staunton, Gloucestershire

Render cleaning in Staunton, gloucestershire
Render cleaning in Staunton, gloucestershire

SkyLine SoftWash were asked to clean the render and pathways on this lovely home in Staunton near Gloucester.

Despite being a relatively new building due to the weather conditions and type of building materials such as K-Render , The building had become infested with mould, Algae lichen and moss. These growths when left un-treated can start to cause damage to the surface of the building.

The brick window ledges had moss growth which has started to eat into the brick work, For a new building with only a few years of growth it was surprising to see how dense the fungus had become.

Skyline SoftWash Treated from the top of the chimney on the roof right down to the patios and pathways, treating the render and cleaning the Upvc, gutters and windows and everything in between.

It was important on this particular job to treat the top of the chimney at their was a lot of lichen growths, If only the wall got cleaned and not the top it would not of been long before the microorganisms spread back through the house due to rain run-off from the flat surface.

Many modern buildings have chimneys but are fake and capped off, the cap acts as a pool Being a flat surface this means a nice easy place for micro-organisms to grow and spread.

If you have a new or older property that has render or k-render on the walls it may be worth pre-treating the area with a SoftWash sanitation to stop the growth of micro-orgasms and keeping your property ship shape

Roof Cleaning in Longford Lane, Longlevens, Gloucester

Roof Cleaning in Longford, Longlevens, GloucesterSkyLine SoftWash Were recently asked to De-Moss a roof on Longford Lane in Longlevens Gloucester

The Roof itself was infested with heavy moss, algae and lichen growths. By allowing these growths to form over time this had caused damage to the pointing, many of the tiles were broke or even missing also upon removing the moss some of the pointing had disappeared completely, most likely from moss ingress to the pointing, Moss absorbs water and when water freezes it expands by up to 9%.

By reoccurring movement the cement mortar and tiles start to crack and over time can cause extensive damage to your roof.

Wet Pour Playground Sanitation & SoftWash Treatment in Cheltenham

SkyLine SoftWash was recently asked to carry out a Playground Sanitation in Cheltenham. As you can see from the pictures these play areas can get very dirty. This dirt is not actually dirt. Its an infestation of mold, moss, algae and all sorts of another fungus. It was truly fungelicious. After initial contact with the school in Cheltenham, it was apparent that the play area was causing problems. Due to the algae growth and mold it was becoming slippy not to mention the number of bacteria that would have been growing in the surface of the wet pour rubber playground.

Wetpour playgrounds are really colourfull when first installed they are a great safety feature for young people, children, and infants in junior schools and nurseries alike. These wet Pour surfaces are very porous for drainage reasons, This means its an ideal growing space for mold, Moss, Alges and lots of other bacteria. This can become a problem as these microorganisms start to grow they spread and take hold. Over time they can cause damage to the area not to mention the bacteria inside that young people, Students and teachers alike are breathing in.

 

It’s an important part of the maintenance of a rubber wet pour playground to have these areas cleaned and sanitized.

The most efficient way of cleaning a wet pour rubber floor is SoftWash. SoftWash cleans and sanitized the surface without causing damage like a pressure washer could do.

Roof De-moss, SoftWash Treatment and Sanitation in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire

 

What’s eating your roof?

Its not dirt on your roof, its a FUNGUS infestation! 

SkyLine SoftWash was asked to remove the infestation of moss from this roof in Cinderford in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Whilst the Forest of Dean is surrounded by nature and natural beauty, the trees, and surrounding plant life can cause heavy microorganisms to spread to your roofs quicker than the inner city.

Mould, Algae, Moss and living microorganisms that are in plants, soil, trees and they grow everywhere including on your building!

When you are surrounded by woods and trees in the Forest of Dean the wind, rain, and weather cycles will help spread theses spores and micro-organisms even faster, they can spread rapidly when left un-treated and start to eat away at your roof!

 

Can roof tiles really be damaged by Moss?

The answer to this is an ongoing debate which has been going on for decades! The true answer to this is YES! Absolutely

MOSS is a microorganism that has a root system and when left to grow and duplicate these roots need to be strong to keep the moss where it is happy living.

Most times moss can be found living on your house roof, Patio or even window ledges. The Moss will find a nice place to live where it can spread and grow in comfort!

The root system is strong, even though you may not be able to see these microscopic roots they are there. you can certainly see the damage caused after you remove the moss.

Moss root can cause damage such as pitting in many structures such as to render, roof tiles, concrete and, much more!

SkyLine Soft Wash has seen this time and time again! Often when cleaning these areas you may find damage that has been uncovered from years of fungus eating away at the surface you were not even aware of!

Its amazing how much damage these tinny little micro-organisms can cause.

 

How do you to prevent damage from MOSS?

Moss as you know is a fungus that grows so in order the prevent moss damaging your roof or render its best not to let it grow in the first place, You can get sprays or anti-mold liquids from your local DIY shop, If you spray this down its best to treat these areas every few years or if you see Algae start to grow you know there is potential for moss so its then time to treat.

 

When do i know when is the best time to treat these areas?

The general rule of thumb is Read the label. Many people buy products from shops and wonder why it does not work. Every product you can buy will have different PPE requirements (personal protective equipment) . Many roof cleaning solutions or anti moss chemicals will have different dilution rates and even ideal temperatures that may be required for the active ingredient to work.

Be very careful when handling chemicals, Even if it says its safe to use on the bottle you need to double-check what PPE you will need. Often it will only be safe if you follow the exact guidelines, PPE such as breathing masks, Clothes, Clothing, and footwear do need to be considered.

You may be putting your friends, family, neighbors or even their pets at risk by spraying chemicals your not familiar with.

 

How do i clean my own roof?

Roof cleaning can be very dangerous, you need to think about if this is really something you are comfortable tackling. Do you have a head for heights? how will you get the chemicals up to your roof? What chemicals will you use to clean your roof?

SkyLine SoftWash is trained in the safe way of cleaning roofs using the SoftWash Systems Blend Rinse modules.

Our staff has gone through the correct training in working from heights, IPAF and PASAM licenses so we can erect scaffold tower safely and use cherry pickers and MEWPS to get up to those higher areas.

SkyLine SoftWash has gone through a 50 point program to enable us to use chemicals safely and have all the right equipment, training and knowledge to clean your roof in a safe way.

Bums on Bikes, Rolling hills of Wales & England ALL in aid of the MS society

Bums on Bikes, Rolling hills of Wales & England ALL in aid of the MS society

 

Every year we set out to raise vital funds to aid the MS society, every year we do this we are amazed at the true genuine support the MS have.

These incredible riders, some who even have MS themselves travel from the top of England to the bottom, I thought I was making an impact by riding a small 80-mile segment we managed to raise over £500 with your support which is fantastic.

The people we rode with were a true inspiration. They fundraise at least £1 per mile and on their rest days their not resting they’re going out supporting and helping people living with MS! Helping & supporting on their rest days.

I only did a small segment of around 82 miles and my legs were shafted.. These guys do this every day and in their spare time/rest days they go and help!! I am truly humbled and inspired by these superheroes! Champions of their own destiny they were in their element of helping others! That’s the joy of true happiness that many don’t find in their lifetimes.

These Lovely, friendly riders are truly inspiring, Many with their own incredible stories. One chap called Fanze even rode back to back both ways he is a 69-year-old beer drinking, cigar smoking young German!! His secret to life “ never take anything to serious” Also a chap I rode with actually had MS himself one of his symptoms was lack of vision, but he didn’t let that affect him from helping others!!

 

The Ride for UK guys are truly  Inspiring,  Traveling the Uk seeing wonderful sites, We really do live in a beautiful country, Volunteer on rest days lending a hand to those who need it most. They challenge themselves physically and mentally. They Hand deliver funds to MS research and treatment projects across the UK.

Commercial step cleaning and patio cleaning at brunswick square in Gloucester

SkyLine SoftWash were asked to DOFF steam clean & SoftWash these lovely steps & patio area in Gloucester today

Patio cleaning in Gloucester before and aftre pictures using SoftWash and DOFF steam cleaning a stone heratige product (1)

As you can see in in the picture to your right, this patio had a heavy infestation of algae growth, Mould, Lichen.These stubborn infestations are extremely hard to deal with if you haven’t got the right training, knowledge and equipment.

Many people would attempt to pressure wash these areas but in fact, by pressure washing, all you are doing is feeding the infestation with more moisture. Moulds, algae live and grow in wet conditions so you need to make sure these areas are treated in the right way.

Pressure washing these areas basically gives it a hair cut, but leaves the root to grow back and with all the added water!

SkyLine SoftWash uses a mixture of specialist cleaning techniques to Kill the funguses at the root to make long-lasting cleaning that lasts 4-6 times longer than pressure washing alone.

Fantastic results once again for our Lovely Clients in Gloucester
