Roof cleaning work in Co. Dublin
Roof work is height work on a surface that breaks if you stand in the wrong place, and it is priced accordingly. The rule that separates people who know the trade is that a pressure lance never goes near a concrete tile: it strips the granular surface and ages the roof. Soft wash and hand work take longer and are the only correct method.
Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.
