As roofs become older and get more porous, many become affected by moss and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and free of moss and debris is often very difficult for most homeowners and may become a constant annoyance.
Would it not be wonderful to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
A really serious accumulation of dirt, moss on your roof and other organic growth is likely to cause you big issues with the roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will over time be compromised too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will swiftly grow out of control with their roots finding their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, steadily widening them throughout time until cracks appear. Like all living organisms they need water to thrive, and after it rains, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as possible. As it works its way in the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and costly damage to the rafters and joists. Lastly you could well become aware of moss that has come loose and fallen down the roof into your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia’s. In conclusion, arranging to have the roof cleaned is a required job for many reasons.
For many people though getting their roof cleaned is purely an aesthetic choice and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very dull due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and then a roof cleaning service is vital. Roofs are also frequently tarnished and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise charming dwelling. By all means, this bacteria growth is completely normal but after all it isn’t nice to look at and it can over time damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day. After years of observing your roof get more and more dirty wouldn’t it be lovely to see it looking almost as good as new once more?
