Big Boom In Copper Ridging

A BPC Roofing Services product story

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team May 30, 2003

BPC Roofing services are experiencing unprecedented demand from consumers to install Copper Ridging to property's in Central Scotland.

This process kills moss and lichen which looks dirty and dull and can reduce the value of buildings.

Moss acts like a sponge on Roofs leading to excess absorbsion of water which increases the weight and stress on a roof,shortening its productive life.

Frost damage is another problem-by pushing up the tiles/slates and cracking them.

Much of todays unprecedented spread of roof moss can be traced to the Clean Air Act which reduced the output of sulphur(poisonous to moss)into the atmosphere via coal or fossil burning power stations, or domestic fires or unleaded fuel.

Moss which would have previously been killed off by this sulphur in the atmosphere requires action to prevent its spread.

As an experienced company in this field, we at BPC Roofing Services see further growth for other companies in the UK by incorporating this service to existing.
