Getting your roof cleaned can be a simple way to improve the appearance of your property, by getting rid of moss and anything else that has built up on your roof.
As roofs age and get more porous, they are gradually invaded by moss and dirt. Maintaining a roof that is clean and free of moss and dirt can be quite difficult for most householders and may become a major 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 dirt, moss on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth is likely to cause you serious issues with your roof and the durability of the tiles will over time be compromised too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these plants will rapidly spread uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, progressively widening them over time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and when it rains, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. As it works its way in the cracks into your roof it might well cause serious and costly damage to the rafters and joists. Also you could well find moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof into your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia boards. In conclusion, having the roof cleaned is an important service for a number of reasons.
For many though cleaning their roof is entirely an aesthetic choice and we don’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive because of organic growths like lichen and moss, and at that point a roof cleaning company is necessary.

By all means, this bacteria growth is completely normal nonetheless it isn’t pleasant to look at and it can over time damage your roof. The difference between 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 like brand new like it used to?
