Getting your roof cleaned can be a quick and easy improvement to make to the look of your property, by clearing moss and more that has accumulated up there.
As roofs become older and get more porous, they are often invaded by moss and dirt. Maintaining a roof that is clean and without moss is often quite difficult for the majority of householders and can become a continual problems.
Wouldn’t it be great to have your roof look new again?
Why do it?
A large accumulation of moss and algae on roof tiles and other natural growth could well cause big issues with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will over time be compromised too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these plants will swiftly spread uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks become visible. Like all plants they need water to survive, and when it rains, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. As it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it could cause serious and expensive destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well find moss that has dislodged and rolled down the roof finding itself in your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia’s. In truth, getting your roof cleaned is an important job for a number of reasons.
For a lot of people though cleaning their roof is entirely an aesthetic choice and we don’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very dull because of organic growths like lichen and moss, and then a roof cleaning service is necessary. Roofs are also frequently tarnished and stained by an everyday bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise stunning house. Of course, this bacteria growth is completely natural however it isn’t attractive to see and gradually it can damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that hasn’t been cleaned can be night and day. After months and years of seeing your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking as good as new once more?
