Having your roof cleaned can be a quick way to improve the appearance of your home, by removing moss, dirt and more that has accumulated on your roof.
As roofs age and become more porous, many become invaded by moss and debris. Keeping your roof clean and free of moss may be very difficult for most householders and may become a annoyance.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your roof look new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
A large accumulation of moss and algae on roof tiles and other organic growth may cause big issues with your roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will in time be compromised too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these plants will swiftly grow out of control with their roots working their way into weak spots in the roof tiles, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks appear. Like all plants they need water to survive, and once it has rained, they’ll behave like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. Once it finds its way through the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and costly damage to the rafters and joists. Also you could well find moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof into your gutter which 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 an important job for many reasons.
For many people though getting their roof cleaned is purely an aesthetic choice and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very dull due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and at that point a roof cleaning professional is necessary. Roofs are also periodically tarnished and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise beautiful dwelling. Of course, this bacteria growth is not unusual however it isn’t nice to see 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 watching your roof get more and more dirty wouldn’t it be great to see it looking as good as new once more?
Next you might ask, “Is this a straightforward DIY job that I should have a go at doing myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to suggest what the best possible solution is here.
