ASK QUESTIONS

WALL COATING & REPAIRS

What are the benefits of exterior wall coating?

Wall coatings provide weather resistance, waterproofing, and a refreshed appearance. They also help prevent damp, cracking, and flaking paint.

How long does wall coating last?

Our high-performance coatings can last 10–15 years, depending on the environment and maintenance.

Can you repair cracks before applying the wall coating?

Yes, we always carry out repairs first—filling cracks, fixing blown render, and ensuring the surface is sound before applying any coatings.

Will the coating stop damp or moisture problems?

Yes, wall coatings are breathable yet water-resistant, helping reduce issues with penetrating damp and improving thermal efficiency.

Do I need to repaint after wall coating is applied?

No. The coating includes colour and finish, so no repainting is needed for years.

ROOF COATING & CLEANING

What does roof coating do?

It seals and protects the roof surface from water damage, moss, algae, and UV rays—extending the lifespan of your roof.

Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?

No. We use safe, low-pressure methods combined with biocides to kill moss and lichen without harming your tiles.

How long does a roof coating last?

Depending on the product, roof coatings typically last 8–15 years. We only use high-grade, weather-tested coatings.

Is roof coating worth it on older roofs?

Yes, especially if the structure is still solid. A coating can prevent further wear and delay the need for a full replacement.

Do you offer moss removal before coating?

Yes. We fully clean and treat the roof to remove moss and debris before applying any coating to ensure proper adhesion and long-term protection.

ROOF CLEANING

Why should I have my roof cleaned?

Regular cleaning removes moss, algae, and debris that can cause long-term damage, reduce energy efficiency, and spoil your home's appearance.

Is pressure washing safe for my roof?

We use controlled, low-pressure cleaning methods tailored to your roof type to avoid any damage to tiles or shingles.

How often should I have my roof cleaned?

Every 2–3 years is typical, but it depends on local climate, tree cover, and moss growth.

Do you apply a treatment after cleaning?

Yes, we apply biocide treatments that kill remaining spores and help prevent regrowth for longer-lasting results.

Will roof cleaning improve the look of my home?

Absolutely! It can significantly improve curb appeal, making your roof look years newer and well cared for.

JET WASH CLEANING

What surfaces can be cleaned with jet washing?

We clean driveways, patios, exterior walls, fences, decking, paths, and more using pressure-controlled water jets.

Will jet washing damage my surfaces?

No. We adjust the pressure depending on the surface—high for concrete, lower for delicate areas—to ensure a deep clean without causing harm.

Can you remove oil stains or chewing gum?

Yes, our high-power equipment and specialist cleaning solutions can remove tough stains, chewing gum, algae, and more.

Is it safe for kids and pets to be around afterward?

Yes. Once dry, everything is safe. We use eco-friendly cleaners that are non-toxic.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the area and water supply, we can complete the work while you're away.

PATIO CLEANING

How do you clean patios?

We use professional-grade jet washers and surface cleaners to remove dirt, moss, and stains. A treatment is also applied to prevent regrowth.

Will the cleaning remove weeds between the paving?

Yes, our equipment removes most weeds, moss, and dirt buildup. For long-term prevention, we recommend sealing or sand brushing after cleaning.

How often should I clean my patio?

At least once a year is ideal—especially after winter or before summer entertaining season.

Can you clean all patio types (stone, concrete, slab)?

Yes, we clean all types of patio surfaces, adjusting pressure and products based on the material.

Will my patio be slippery afterward?

No. In fact, cleaning removes slippery algae and moss buildup, making it safer to walk on—especially when wet.

ROUGHCASTING & PLASTERING

What is roughcasting and why is it used?

Roughcasting is a textured exterior finish using a mix of mortar and stone chips. It’s highly durable and ideal for weatherproofing and long-term protection.

Can you match my existing roughcast finish?

Yes, we aim to match existing textures and colours as closely as possible for a seamless finish.

Do you offer both interior and exterior plastering?

We specialise in exterior rendering and plastering, but can also handle small-scale internal plastering where required.

Is roughcasting better than smooth plaster for exterior walls?

Yes, roughcasting is more resistant to weather and ideal for homes in harsher climates, while smooth plaster gives a cleaner, modern finish.

Will you repair cracks before plastering or roughcasting?

Absolutely. Surface preparation is essential—we’ll fix cracks, damaged render, and any blown areas before applying a new finish.

ROOFING REPAIRS & RESTORATION

What types of roofing issues can you repair?

We fix cracked tiles, leaks, broken flashing, storm damage, and general wear. We also offer full roof restorations when needed.

How do I know if I need a repair or full restoration?

We’ll inspect your roof and recommend the best solution. Often, repairs are enough—but if the damage is widespread, a restoration may be more cost-effective.
