Round roofing are a roofing company that has traded in and around Kidderminster for over 50 years.

At Round Roofing, based in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, we take pride in delivering exceptional roofing services not only across the UK but also internationally. Our recent project in Huelva, Andalusia (southern Spain) is a perfect example of our commitment to quality, professionalism, and adaptability no matter the climate or location.

This project involved a complete villa roof clean and treatment on a traditional Spanish property, carried out by our experienced UK team. The goal was to remove years of moss and weed build-up, restore the roof’s natural appearance, and apply a long-lasting biocide treatment for protection against future growth.

Project Overview.

Location: Huelva, Andalusia, Spain
Client: Private Villa Owner
Service Provided: Full roof clean, moss & weed removal, biocide treatment
Duration: Multi-day project using both manual and powered methods

Our Kidderminster roofing specialists travelled to Spain to complete this comprehensive roof cleaning and treatment job. Despite the warmer climate and different roof construction, our team applied the same level of care, detail, and technical skill that has earned us a trusted reputation here in the UK.

Full Roof Cleaning Procedure.

Our process was carefully designed to clean the roof safely and thoroughly while protecting the terracotta tiles so commonly used on Spanish villas.

1. Manual Tile Brushing – Every roof tile was brushed by hand using wire brushes to remove moss, lichen, and surface debris without damaging the delicate clay.

2. Ridge & Top Run Cleaning – We cleared ridge tiles and top runs to restore proper water run-off and prevent blockages.

3. Powered Air Blowing – Using a hand-held blower, all tile channels and valleys were cleared of dust, moss fragments, and leaves.

4. Gutter & Outlet Maintenance – Gutters and downpipes were checked and cleared to ensure free drainage after cleaning.

5. Professional Biocide Application – The entire roof was sprayed with a roof-safe moss and weed killer to prevent regrowth and protect the tiles long-term.

6. Tile Saturation & Bonding – We allowed the treatment to fully penetrate and bond to the tile surface for deep, lasting protection.

7. Final Inspection & Site Clean-Down – Once dry, we conducted a complete inspection and cleaned all surrounding terrace and garden areas, leaving the property spotless.

The result? A clean, restored, and protected roof ready to face the Spanish weather with improved appearance and longevity.

Results and Client Satisfaction.

After completion, the villa roof looked completely rejuvenated. The natural terracotta tones were restored, the surface was smooth and debris-free, and the biocide treatment will help prevent any regrowth for years to come. The client was thrilled with the transformation and the professionalism of our team, especially given the warm Spanish climate and complex tile layout.

The Difference Between Roofing Work in Spain and the UK.

Working in Spain presented a very different set of challenges compared to our usual roofing work in Kidderminster and across the UK. Here are some of the main differences we encountered:

• Roofing Materials:
  Spanish roofs often use curved terracotta or clay barrel tiles, whereas UK homes tend to feature concrete, slate, or flat tiles. Clay tiles require much gentler handling and specialist cleaning tools.

• Climate Considerations:
  In the UK, moss and lichen thrive due to damp conditions, meaning regular maintenance is essential. In southern Spain, growth occurs more slowly but can still appear in shaded or north-facing areas. Treatments must be UV-resistant and suitable for higher temperatures.

• Roof Design & Access:
  Mediterranean villas typically have broader pitches and decorative ridges, requiring careful planning for access and safety, particularly under strong sunlight.

• Drainage Needs:
  Rainfall in Spain is infrequent but heavy, so clear drainage channels are vital. We made sure all gutters and outlets were completely free-flowing to handle sudden downpours.

Despite these differences, our UK-based team adapted seamlessly demonstrating that high-quality workmanship transcends location.

Ongoing Maintenance Advice.

To keep the roof looking its best, we recommended a re-inspection within 6–8 months to check for regrowth and determine whether a light re-spray is needed. The client was also advised to avoid washing or heavy rainfall exposure for 48 hours following treatment, allowing the biocide to bond fully with the tiles.
