What roof types do you clean in Shetland Islands?

We clean coated metal cladding, profiled steel, single-ply membranes (EPDM/TPO/PVC) and felt/bitumen roofs in Shetland Islands. Methods are tailored after a site assessment and test patch.

Which cleaning methods do you use?

Soft-wash/biocidal pre-treatments with low-pressure rinsing, plus steam/DOFF where suitable. High-pressure washing is avoided on vulnerable membranes to protect seams, laps and coatings.

How do you manage safety and access at height?

Full RAMS supplied. Access via MEWPs or approved systems, with fall-arrest, rooflight protection and exclusion zones as required, following UK regulations and site permits.

Can you clear gutters and downpipes during the visit?

Yes—gutter and downpipe clearing can be included with before/after photos. This supports drainage performance after the roof clean.

How do you handle wastewater and environmental controls?

Eco-conscious detergents and run-off controls. Where required we contain, capture or divert wastewater to approved points such as interceptors, in line with site rules.

How long does roof cleaning take?

Depends on roof size, access, soiling and weather. Smaller units may complete within a shift; large warehouses are usually phased so operations continue safely.

Roofs We Clean

We clean most commercial roof systems and components:

Coated metal cladding & profiled steel (Plastisol/PVDF)
Single-ply membranes (EPDM, TPO, PVC)
Felt/bitumen & built-up systems
Fibre-cement & composite panels
Rooflights, gutters, outlets & downpipes
Around solar PV frames and fixings

Typical issues include moss, lichen and algae, atmospheric soiling, bird fouling and standing-water staining. We survey each roof, agree phased works and use manufacturer-friendly methods. If you’re preparing for roof coating, we can deep-clean and degrease to improve adhesion.

How We Clean Roofs (Safely)

We combine targeted pre-treatments with low-pressure rinsing and steam/DOFF where appropriate, starting with a test area to confirm the approach.

Soft-wash/biocidal pre-treatments for organic growth
Low-pressure rinse to protect seams, laps & coatings
Steam/DOFF for stubborn staining and bird fouling
Manual detailing around fixings, rooflights & flashings
Gutter & downpipe clearing with debris removal
Wastewater control; bunding, drain covers & interceptor compliance

On live sites we phase works, manage pedestrian/vehicle routes and cordon work zones. Access is via MEWPs or approved systems (IPAF-competent), with fall-arrest, rooflight protection and weather/wind monitoring. Our RAMS cover COSHH, working at height and public safety; before/after photos supplied.
