Belfast homes and their roofs
Belfast has a huge range of houses packed into one city. Close to the centre there are long streets of Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces, many still with their original slate roofs. Further out, areas such as the Malone Road and Stranmillis have large period villas, while the outer suburbs are full of semi-detached and detached homes with concrete tiles, along with newer developments on the edges of the city.
Slate and older tiles do not like being walked on, and terraced roofs are often steep and close to the street. Our air-pole system clears moss from ground level or a ladder, so nobody needs to stand on your roof to get it clean.
Why moss grows on Belfast roofs
The city sits between Belfast Lough, the Lagan valley and the hills of Cave Hill and the Belfast Hills. Damp air off the lough and regular rain mean roofs rarely dry out fully, especially on the shaded side of a house. Mature trees in the older suburbs drop leaves and shade roofs too, which helps moss settle into the joints between tiles and spill into the gutters.

Travelling from Omagh
Because Belfast is about an hour from our base, we plan Belfast visits carefully and group them together where we can. Letting us know your postcode or area of the city helps us fit your job in. If you would like more than one service, such as a roof clean and a gutter clear, we can usually do them on the same visit and set them out separately on your quote.
Parking can be tight on some terraced streets, so if there is anything we should know about access, such as a narrow entry or a shared driveway, mention it when you get in touch.
