As a roof becomes older and become more porous, they are often affected by moss and debris. Keeping your roof clean and free of moss and debris is usually challenging for most owners and becomes a major issues.
Would it not be great to have your roof look new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
Large amounts of accumulation of moss, dirt on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth may cause big issues with your roof and the life-span of the tiles will in time be affected too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will quickly grow out of control with their roots finding their way into weaknesses in the tiles of the roof, steadily widening them over time until cracks become visible. Like all plants they need water to live, and once it has rained, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. Once it finds its way in the cracks into your roof it could cause serious and expensive deterioration to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well become aware of moss that has come loose and fallen down the roof finding itself in your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia’s. Really then, arranging to have the roof cleaned is a required job for many reasons.
For a lot of people though wanting a clean roof is entirely an aesthetic preference and we don’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very dull due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and this is when a roof cleaning professional is necessary. Roofs are also frequently discoloured and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise beautiful home. Of course, this bacteria growth is not unusual but after all it isn’t pleasant to look at and gradually it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that hasn’t been cleaned can be night and day. After years of seeing your roof get dirtier and dirtier wouldn’t it be lovely to see it looking as good as new like it used to?
Maybe you’re wondering, “Is this a simple DIY job that I should try to do myself?” Let’s consider some evidence to recommend what the best way to do this is.
Should I just clean it alone?
The most common reason why most people don’t want to risk cleaning their own roof is since it requires working at a height where most of us wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable. At these kinds of heights any sort of fall can lead to a very serious wound.

What is the process?
We will inspect the roof attentively before commencing any work, to identify the best course of action depending on your roof.

You’ll notice an immediate improvement and continued improvement as time progresses.
