Roof Cleaning & Inspections in Isle of Skye

Cleaning & Inspections for Isle of Skye homes

Skye roofs face some of the harshest weather in Scotland — Atlantic gales, horizontal rain and salt spray. Lifted slates, failed ridge mortar and worn flashing are the problems we are asked about most often on the island. Moss holds moisture against the covering and blocks gutters as it washes down. We clear it properly, clear the gutters afterwards and tell you about anything else we notice while we are up there.

Traditional slate roofs, corrugated sheeting on older crofts, modern tiles and flat-roofed extensions are all common on Skye, and we assess each one on its own terms.

What we cover

• Roof inspections
• Gutter clearing
• Moss removal and roof cleaning
• Roof coatings, where suitable

Signs to look out for

• Heavy moss on slates or tiles
• Blocked or overflowing gutters
• You are buying a property or want peace of mind
• It has been a long time since the roof was looked at
• You can see slipped slates or damage from the ground

How we work

We look over the roof, point out anything that needs attention and advise on the cleaning or maintenance that suits it. Not every roof benefits from cleaning or coating, so we will tell you honestly what yours needs — including if the answer is nothing right now. That honesty is what you want from a cleaning and inspections company: advice first, work only where it helps.

What affects the cost

• The size and pitch of the roof
• How much moss or debris needs removed
• Whether gutters need cleared as well
• Access around the property
