Cleaning & Growth Profile
Malvern East Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Malvern East
The debris load on gutters from roofs under established tree cover is substantial. Leaf matter, seed pods, and bark decompose in gutters to form a compost-like layer that retains moisture and accelerates corrosion of the metal gutter section.
Why It Happens
Bird droppings contain uric acid at a pH of approximately 3 to 4. At that concentration it reacts with calcium carbonate in cementitious materials and with the zinc in metal flashings, progressively dissolving the surface and causing localised pitting.
How We Fix It
On heritage terracotta roofs, we use only water and mechanical removal for biological growth — no chemical cleaners that could affect original surface treatments or lime-based pointing. The wash is effective without chemistry on mechanically intact surfaces.
