Roof cleaning work in Co. Kildare
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.
The commuter belt works on a different rhythm to the city. Households here are usually out during the day and want a key-holder they trust rather than someone different each week — which means the work tends to be regular, and the client relationships tend to last longer than in the centre.
