Maintenance and care
Practical care guidance, with manufacturer information where the product is confirmed.
General care
These practical care steps are a starting point; follow the product manufacturer’s current guidance where it applies.
General care
Start with simple, safe care: from ground level, look for surface dirt or blocked water paths, use suitable help when needed, and ask the relevant supplier about product-specific questions.
If a task is not safely reachable or needs product-specific advice, ask for help first.
Water paths
From a safe position at ground level, notice whether water paths appear obstructed and arrange appropriate help if attention is needed.
If attention is needed, arrange suitable help rather than accessing the roof or attempting a repair.
Damage and changes
If you notice damage, a coating concern or a proposed modification, pause and seek appropriate product or professional advice.
For structural damage, coating concerns or proposed changes, pause and seek appropriate product or professional advice.
Fielders cladding care
This information applies only when Fielders roof or wall cladding is confirmed in your order.
Fielders cladding care
For confirmed Fielders roof or wall cladding, rain can wash some exposed surfaces while sheltered or unwashed areas may need attention.
Use the current Fielders guidance for the particular cladding and conditions; this information does not apply to other products.
Cleaning confirmed Fielders cladding
Fielders guidance for confirmed cladding refers to water washing and, for ingrained dirt, mild pure soap or mild non-abrasive kitchen detergent; solvent cleaners are not part of this guidance.
Rinse promptly with clean water. If the product or condition is uncertain, stop and check the current Fielders guidance.
Exposure can change the need
Coastal, commercial and industrial exposure can change cleaning needs for confirmed Fielders cladding.
Check the current manufacturer guidance for the site rather than applying one routine everywhere.
Roof safety
Work at height needs appropriate safety measures and competent help.
Roof safety
Fielders does not recommend homeowners stand on roofs; work at height needs safety and competent help.
Arrange suitable, competent assistance for any work at height.
