Roof cleaning work in Mervue

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.

A city county gives you the mix that is hardest to find elsewhere: enough density to fill a week without long drives, and enough variety that the work does not disappear when one type of client goes quiet. Regular domestic work forms the base, and end-of-tenancy and office contracts sit on top of it.

Requests in Mervue and the surrounding parts of Co. Galway go out to professionals who cover the area. You say where you travel, so you are not offered work an hour away.
