No its up north, don't even know where Robusseez it mate, ;-)

Moss and lichen can not be killed, only surpressed by killing the current growth but this does not kill sporse. A good roof cleaner will charge £4.50 per meter and include re-pointing the ridge tiles and replacing broken tiles (up to a given number). Treatment can then take place followed if...

are we talking Aquashield or Aquaseal as there is often a mix up????? Both in Glascow?

Unlike many here, I can write with first hand knowledge, and though I have no intentions of getting in to deep (noseall does that), the coating used by Aquashield should not be used on Clay (Rosemary) tiles. Though these tiles are porous, they do not allow this coating to adhere too well. On...

there are some great sealants that will stop staining, surpress weeds and leave a nice satin finish.

Are they stone or cement. Victorians were not using reinforced concrete. They might have been repaired before??? There are a couple of guys in Manchester called Brick-Aid who fixed stone cills recently. Not sure of contact details.

edwardian, does that mean they are all A) rectangles, or some B) triangles. If A) DIY is not hard but measuring them is critical. Avoid roller blinds, they never work for long. Pleated fabric better, they collect flies. Pinoleum (wood strips) nice but don't give full shade. Most companies...

But a roll of 6" -8" damp proof used in brick walls, its flexable but can be tucked under the leading edge of the first tile and into the gutter. This problem is not unusual when fixing PVCu soffits to existing boards. It will also withstand the weather up here. Just done this in Heywood and...

having gutter filters fitted next week, foam based they fit right through whole gutter and leaves and moss just go straight over and water through.... any thoughts cos the whole lot (38 mtrs) is about £180 including vat and fitting.

thanks guys (I think).... not sure still but thanks anyway.

Copper not being as pure as it once was, works for the first 2-3 tiles, then causes streaks. If the tiles are clay, they will become porous after 40+ years. The frost gets the backs and causes red dust in your gutters. If cement 25-35 years is the Marley estimate for lifespan. Once power washed...

roof-coaters they seem to have such a bad time on this site???

OK this guy comes along to quote for a job, and says he works out his measurements in "builders Squares". Can anyone tell me what a BS is and what thats in new money?????

Do you have a moss problem on the roof, porch, flat roof.... decomposing moss smells fishy, could be in the gutters or flat roof and smells gets in via vents. worth a try

As above there are plenty of sealants and may opinions. There are basically two qualities within the trade drive cleaning business. £100 for an average drive or £300 for the rolls royce sealant. Pay-choose blah blah. If you leave them... they just get mucky again. 20ltrs for about £60 0r...

We did our by buying a £30 sand blasting gun from Machine Mart, Dry sand from builders merchant (sharp sand not builders sand), and masks etc, and hire a 13CFM compressor for 3 days.... done and dusty.

Is your drive block, tarmac, ??? sealants in 20ltr drum cost about *£80 and can be roller applied. (enough to do 100 mtrs). Tarmac back to black about the same but in all cases surface should be very clean.

We have a company here that makes sealants for many sellers. Fibre-strands in a thick goo, can be rained on within minutes. About £40 for 5 ltrs and can be trowlled on or brushed.

STOP, if you have a standard ladder and can reach up to the gutter (or 2-3 rungs over), get a standard garden weed sprayer (5ltr with wand) and a good moss killer Jeyes fluid will do, With the sprayer nozzle fully open to get a jet, spray the area with soloution (see instructions for dilution...

two days average, one to clean and prepare and one to coat, two coats of breathable acrylic. DIY would be a hard 2-3 days but no scaffold needed and you can hand coat but the pro's use airless sprayers. There are a few companies doing it which range from £18 to £30 a mtr depending on the state...
