Services
Roof Cleaning
Our roof cleaning service utilises the AlgoClear Cleaning Process to remove moss, algae, and biofilms from various roofing materials. By applying biocides that target living organisms and follow-up treatments for metabolite stains, we restore roof surfaces safely without high-pressure washing. This chemical-based approach preserves roof integrity while ensuring long-term protection against regrowth, particularly effective for slate, concrete, and clay tiles.
Render Stain Removal
Specialised render stain removal addresses discolouration caused by fungal growth, algae, and environmental pollutants. Our process combines biocidal treatments with alkaline gels like Metaclear to dissolve stubborn pigments while maintaining render texture. This method effectively treats thermal insulation-related staining on white render surfaces, restoring aesthetic appearance and preventing structural degradation through deep sanitisation.
Biofilm Treatment
Targeted biofilm treatment eliminates microbial colonies on porous and non-porous surfaces using quaternary ammonium-based biocides. We address both active biological growth and residual metabolites through systematic application processes, ensuring complete eradication of organisms like Trentepohlia algae and Aspergillus fungi. This approach prevents recurring stains while maintaining surface integrity across stone, timber, and artificial surfaces.
Degreasing Services
Our degreasing solutions tackle lipid-based contaminants from vehicles and industrial sources using Oleoclear formulations. This service effectively removes automotive oil spills, kitchen ventilation residues, and soot deposits from hard surfaces. The chemical process breaks down hydrocarbon chains for easy removal while preventing reabsorption, particularly suited for concrete, paving, and industrial areas with persistent grease issues.
Metallic Stain Removal
Specialised removal of metallic stains caused by iron oxidation, lead carbonate, and copper runoff employs acidic gels like Oxiclear. This service targets rust marks near ground level, lead oxide deposits, and tanin stains on render surfaces through controlled chemical dissolution. The treatment addresses both aesthetic concerns and structural preservation by eliminating corrosive elements from metal fixtures and surrounding surfaces.
Questions
What surfaces can the AlgoClear Cleaning Process treat?
Our process treats roofs, render, stone paving, timber decks, glass, and metal surfaces, effectively removing biofilms, moss, algae, metallic stains, and lipid deposits.
Is the cleaning process environmentally safe?
Yes, our biocidal treatments use quaternary ammonium compounds with low environmental impact, avoiding high-pressure methods that damage surfaces or ecosystems.
How long do results last on treated surfaces?
Treated surfaces remain clean for 5-10 years depending on environmental conditions, with our chemistry preventing regrowth through sustained sanitisation of porous materials.
Can I apply the products myself?
Domestic users can apply diluted solutions with garden sprayers, while professionals use calibrated dosing units and high-flow poles for larger commercial projects.
What safety precautions are required?
Users must wear protective visors and gloves, avoid contact with skin, and follow risk assessments to prevent accidents during application processes.
How does the process handle thermal insulation stains?
We use Metaclear gel followed by ACP biocide to address fungal growth patterns caused by temperature variations in insulated walls, ensuring complete pigment removal.
