Biocide Treatment in Swords
Biocide treatment in Swords, priced in writing before we start and carried out with the method the surface actually needs.
Why Swords properties need this
Swords has grown fast, so we work on everything from older Main Street properties to large estates in Boroimhe, Applewood and River Valley. The flight path also means a steady film of grime on north-facing render and glazing.
For biocide treatment specifically, north Dublin's exposure and the volume of newer render estates around Swords make algae streaking a recurring problem — which is exactly why the method matters more than the machine. A low-pressure treatment applied after cleaning that kills moss, algae and lichen at the root and keeps surfaces clear for years.
In Swords we usually recommend adding a biocide at the same visit as the clean, because a second mobilisation costs more than the treatment does.
- Kills the spores and root filaments cleaning cannot reach
- Typically two to four years before regrowth is visible
- Applied at the labelled rate with drains and planting protected
- The safe way to deal with heavy roof moss
- Not a sealer — it does not change the surface finish
