Roof Cleaning Chaddesden offers a professional roof cleaning service for home and business premises in Chaddesden and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning is a quick and easy way to improve the look of your property, by getting rid of moss, lichen, dirt and more that has grown there.
As roofs become older and become more porous, they are gradually affected by algae, moss and dirt. Keeping your roof clean and without moss and debris is often quite difficult for most homeowners and becomes a continual source of annoyance.
Would it not be wonderful to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why have it cleaned?
Large amounts of accumulation of dirt, moss on your roof and other organic growth is likely to cause serious issues with your roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will in time be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these plants will quickly grow uncontrollably with their roots finding their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, steadily widening them over time until cracks emerge. Like all plants they need water to live, and when it rains, they’ll work like a sponge retaining as much water as they possibly can. As it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and costly deterioration to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well find moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof into your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia’s. In truth, having your roof cleaned is a required service for a number of reasons.
For many though wanting a clean roof is simply an aesthetic preference and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and this is when a roof cleaning professional is necessary. Roofs are also periodically discoloured and stained by an everyday bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise charming home. Without a doubt, this bacteria growth is completely natural 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 needs a clean can be night and day. After months and years of observing your roof get dirtier and dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking as good as new like it used to?
The next question is, “Is this a straightforward DIY job that I should attempt to do myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to suggest what the best way to do this is.
Can I do this myself?
The biggest reason why most people don’t clean their own roof is the fact that it requires working at a height where a lot of us wouldn’t feel comfortable or safe. At these heights any kind of slip can lead to a very serious wound.
Many dodgy tradespeople who attempt this kind of work, claim it’s easy money and that it does not need a lot of skill. How wrong can they be A job like this requires a degree of skill and attention that we can provide. Using the correct roof access equipment, the right tools and our skill and know-how we can provide for you a roof cleaning service that pleases you without you having to put yourself at unwanted risk.
What is the process?
We will inspect the roof attentively before starting any work, to determine the best cleaning method to use depending on your roof. Then we will consider what’s growing there and the best way to dislodge the growth. We can then begin to work on eradicating the roof of organic colonising growths by getting right into the moss root system and killing the spores. You’ll notice an instant improvement and continued improvement over time.
A few things to consider.
We’ve already looked at some other things to consider that can affect a roof cleaning job. So, let’s also consider the following.
- Size of dwelling and the size of the roof.
- How much vegetation is present on the roof.
- Type of roof – e.g. with a thatched roof, no water is involved.
- Accessibility of the roof.
- Height of the roof.
Keeping everything we have just mentioned in mind, it is not worth risking serious insult to yourself or damage to your dwelling by trying to do your own roof cleaning. Fill out the free quote form or call us for a free quote, and leave it to the pros.
