Why have it cleaned?
A really serious build-up of dirt, moss on your roof and other organic growth may cause you serious issues with your roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these plants will quickly grow uncontrollably with their roots working their way into weak spots in the roof tiles, steadily widening them over the course of time until cracks emerge. Like all plants 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 finds its way in the cracks into your roof it may well cause serious and expensive damage to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well discover moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof ending up in your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia boards. Really then, having a roof cleaned is a necessary service for a few reasons.
For many though getting their roof cleaned is entirely an aesthetic decision and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and then a roof cleaning company is necessary. Roofs are also often discoloured and stained by a common place bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise beautiful dwelling. Without a doubt, this bacteria growth is completely natural but after all it isn’t attractive to see and gradually it can damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day. After years of seeing your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be great to see it looking as good as new once more?
