Roof cleaning

What does roof cleaning entail?

If moss is gathering on your roof, the tiles are looking untidy, and you're worried that your guttering is going to overflow with debris, you might want to consider having your roof cleaned. Roof cleaning removes all biological growth from a roof such as algae, mould, mildew, lichens & moss. If your roof is heavily soiled, you might even find grass, small weeds and plants growing.

Why we recommend removing moss and roof cleaning

Biological growth such as moss on your roof needs water and nutrients to survive. This is where the deterioration of your roof begins!

As the moss and algae on your roof need food to survive, can you imagine what their favourite food will be? Your roof tiles, the cement pointing along the valleys, and the ridge tiles!

Moss roots itself in damp shaded areas so it will grow under roof tiles, lifting them up as the moss grows larger, allowing water to penetrate your home.

A large build-up of moss and biofilm (a slimy substance) makes your home not only look unsightly but also continuously fill your guttering and cause it to block.

Removing the moss from your roof tiles leaves your gutters free from blockage, so they can work efficiently without causing damp within your home.

As the moss begins to grow and is unable to cling onto your roof, the wind and rain cause it to fall and spread across the ground below. This then increases the growth of slippery algae around your home.
