Roof Cleaning Borrowash provides a professional roof cleaning service for home and commercial premises in Borrowash and surrounding areas in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning can be a relatively quick way of improving the look of your property, by removing moss and more that has built up on your roof.
As a roof ages and get more porous, they are gradually invaded by moss, algae and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and without moss and dirt can be very difficult for the majority of householders and can become a constant cause for annoyance.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have your roof look brand new again?
Why do it?
A large accumulation of moss and algae on your roof and other organic growth is likely to cause big problems with your roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will quickly spread out of control with their roots working their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, progressively widening them throughout time until cracks become visible. Like all plants they need water to survive, and after it rains, they’ll act like a sponge securing as much water as possible. Once it finds its way through the cracks into your roof it could cause serious and expensive damage 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 in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia’s. Really then, arranging to have the roof cleaned is a required service for a few reasons.
For many people though getting their roof cleaned is simply an aesthetic preference and we don’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very dull because of organic growths like moss and lichen, and then a roof cleaning service is vital. Roofs are also periodically discoloured and stained by a prevalent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise beautiful dwelling. Of course, this bacteria growth is completely normal but after all it isn’t pleasant to look at and it can over time damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that hasn’t been cleaned can be night and day. After months and years of watching your roof get dirtier and dirtier wouldn’t it be great to see it looking like brand new again?
