As roofs age and become more porous, they are often affected by algae, moss and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and free of moss and debris may be challenging for the majority of householders and may become a annoyance.
Would it not be great to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why should I do it?
Large amounts of accumulation of moss, dirt on your roof and other natural growth may cause major issues with your roof and the durability of the tiles will in time be affected too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow out of control with their roots creeping their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, progressively widening them over time until cracks become visible. Like all plants they need water to thrive, and when it rains, they’ll act like a sponge securing as much water as possible. As it finds its way through the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and expensive deterioration to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well discover moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof ending up in your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia boards. Really then, arranging to have a roof cleaned is a required service for a number of reasons.
For many though cleaning their roof is solely an aesthetic choice and we don’t blame you for that!

Comparing a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day.
