As roofs age and get more porous, they are often invaded by moss and dirt. Keeping your roof clean and void of any moss and algae is usually very difficult for most householders and may become a annoyance.
Wouldn’t it be great to have your roof look new again?
Why have it cleaned?
Large amounts of accumulation of moss and algae on roof tiles and other natural growth is likely to cause you serious issues with your roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will over time be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these plants will swiftly spread uncontrollably with their roots working their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, progressively widening them over the course of time until cracks appear. Like all plants they need water to live, and when it rains, they’ll act like a sponge retaining as much water as possible. As it finds its way through the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and costly deterioration to the rafters and joists. Lastly you could well find moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof finding itself in your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia’s. Really then, having your roof cleaned is an important service for many reasons.
For many though wanting a clean roof is solely an aesthetic choice and we can’t fault you for that!
