Roof Cleaning Hyson Green offer a professional roof cleaning service for home and business properties in Hyson Green and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning can be a relatively speedy way of improving the appearance of your house, by removing moss and more that has built up on your roof.
As a roof becomes older and get more porous, many become affected by moss and debris. Keeping the roof clean and without moss and algae is often quite difficult for the majority of homeowners and may become a cause for issues.
Would it not be great to have your roof looking like new again?
Why have it cleaned?
Large amounts of build-up of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other organic growth may cause big issues with your roof and the durability of the tiles will over time be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will quickly grow out of control with their roots creeping their way into weak spots in the roof tiles, progressively widening them over the course of time until cracks appear. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and when it rains, they’ll behave like a sponge retaining as much water as they possibly can. Once it finds its way through the cracks into your roof it could cause serious and expensive destruction to the rafters and joists. Lastly you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and rolled down the roof ending up in your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia’s. Really then, having a roof cleaned is a required job for a number of reasons.
For many people though wanting a clean roof is solely an aesthetic decision and we don’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and then a roof cleaning company is needed. Roofs are also often discoloured and stained by a common place bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise beautiful home. By all means, this bacteria growth is completely natural but after all it isn’t nice to look at and it can over time damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day. After months and years of seeing your roof get more and more dirty wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking like brand new like it used to?
Next you might ask, “Is this a easy DIY job that I should have a go at doing myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to propose what the best way to do this is.
Couldn’t I just clean it myself?
The biggest reason why a lot of people haven’t attempted to clean their own roof is because it requires working at a height where many of us wouldn’t feel safe and secure. At these heights any type of fall can lead to a very serious injury.
Many rogue tradesmen who attempt this kind of work, reckon it is easy money or that it doesn’t require much skill. How true is that? A service such as this requires a level of skill and care that we can provide. Using the correct roof access equipment, the right tools and our experience and know-how we can deliver a roof cleaning service that you are happy with without you having to put yourself in unnecessary danger.
What is the process?
We will survey your roof carefully before commencing any work, to identify the best approach to take depending on your roof. Then we will look at what’s growing there and the how best to remove the growth. We can then begin to work on purging the roof of organic colonising growths by getting deep into the moss root system and eliminating the spores. You’ll notice an improvement straight away and continued change over time.
Some factors to think about.
We have already hinted at some other things to consider that can affect having your roof cleaned. Now, look at the following.
