A Closer Look at Bac50 by Pureseal
When a roof is professionally cleaned, the visible transformation can be immediate and impressive. Moss is removed, staining is reduced, and the overall appearance of the property is restored. However, what cannot be seen is just as important as what can.
At Cannins Ltd, we place great emphasis on what happens after the clean. This is where a professional biocide treatment, specifically Bac50 by Pureseal, plays a vital role in protecting your roof and preserving the results.
What Is a Biocide and Why Is It Needed?
A biocide is a specialist treatment designed to eliminate organic growth such as moss, algae, and lichen. While cleaning removes the bulk of this growth, microscopic spores remain embedded within the surface of the tiles.
Without treatment, these spores will begin to regrow. In many cases, this can happen surprisingly quickly, especially in damp or shaded areas.
Applying a biocide ensures that:
- Remaining spores are neutralised at the source
- Regrowth is significantly slowed
- The roof continues to improve in appearance over time
It is not simply an optional extra. It is a key part of a thorough and professional roof cleaning process.
Why We Use Pureseal Bac50
At Cannins Ltd, we use Pureseal Bac50, a professional grade biocide trusted within the exterior cleaning industry.
Bac50 is a concentrated treatment designed specifically for exterior surfaces. It is known for its effectiveness, reliability, and long term results when applied correctly.
Key Benefits of Bac50
- Deep Penetration
Bac50 works beyond the surface, targeting spores that are embedded within the pores of the roof tiles. - Effective Organic Control
It eliminates moss, algae, and lichen at the root, rather than simply removing what is visible. - Ongoing Cleaning Action
After application, the product continues to work over time. Natural weathering helps to gradually improve the roof’s appearance. - Longer Lasting Results
By slowing down regrowth, Bac50 helps maintain a clean roof for far longer than cleaning alone.
A Natural and Gradual Finish
One of the key points to understand about Bac50 is that it is not designed to give an instant visual result.
Instead, it works progressively. Over the weeks and months following application, the roof continues to improve as the treatment does its job and the elements gently wash away remaining residues.
This approach provides a far more natural finish and avoids the risks associated with overly aggressive cleaning methods.
Why Professional Application Is Essential
Biocide treatments such as Bac50 are not products that should be handled without the correct knowledge and training.
Proper application requires:
- Accurate dilution rates depending on the surface
- An understanding of different roofing materials
- Careful control to avoid overspray onto neighbouring areas
- Compliance with health and safety guidance
- Consideration of environmental impact
At Cannins Ltd, our team are fully trained in the safe and effective use of biocides. We follow strict procedures to ensure the treatment is applied correctly, protecting both your property and the surrounding environment.
Our Approach at Cannins Ltd
We do not believe in quick fixes or cutting corners. Every roof we clean is assessed individually, and the most appropriate method is selected.
Where a biocide treatment is required, Bac50 is applied as part of a carefully planned process to ensure:
- The roof is properly prepared
- The treatment is evenly and safely applied
- The long term results meet the high standards our clients expect
This attention to detail is what allows us to deliver consistent, high quality outcomes across every project.
In Summary
Cleaning a roof is only part of the process. Protecting it is what ensures lasting results.
By using a professional grade product such as Pureseal Bac50, and applying it with the correct care and expertise, we are able to offer a service that goes beyond appearance and focuses on long term protection.
