Roof Cleaning in Tuam - What We See
We work on roofs in Tuam throughout the year and the pattern is consistent: older properties in the town centre - particularly on Bishop Street, Vicar Street and the cathedral area - have some of the heaviest moss growth we encounter anywhere in County Galway. The combination of age, tree canopy, north or east-facing aspects and compact street layout means those roofs see limited direct sun and remain damp for extended periods. Without treatment, the moss on these roofs has been building up for many years.
The estate houses on Millbrook, Cloonmore, Highfield and the Galway Road developments are a different picture: newer concrete or clay tiles, shorter growth history, but still showing clear greening by late autumn each year from the flat terrain and persistent Tuam rainfall. Both need professional treatment - just calibrated differently.
What's Included in Our Tuam Roof Clean
Full Moss and Algae Removal
Complete removal of all biological growth from the roof surface. Heavier build-up on older Tuam properties given appropriate pre-treatment and dwell time.
Biocide Treatment
Applied after cleaning to prevent regrowth. Given Tuam's persistent ground humidity, biocide treatment makes a significant difference to how long the roof stays clean.
Ridge and Verge Check
Ridge tiles and verge pointing inspected. Older Tuam terraces often have original lime mortar at ridge - we check and flag any sections showing movement.
Gutter Clear
Roof debris cleared from gutters. We don't leave freshly removed moss sitting in the gutterline to cause a new blockage.
