Roof Cleaning Kimberley offer a professional roof cleaning service for residential and commercial properties in Kimberley and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Having your roof cleaned can be a relatively quick and easy way to improve the look of your house, by removing moss and more that has built up there.
As roofs become older and become more porous, many become affected by algae, moss and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and free of moss and dirt is usually challenging for the majority of homeowners and can become a cause for problems.
Would it not be wonderful to have your roof look brand new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
A really serious accumulation of moss and algae on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth could well cause serious problems with your roof and the durability of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will swiftly spread out of control with their roots creeping their way into weaknesses in the roof tiles, steadily widening them throughout time until cracks emerge. Like all plants they need water to survive, and after it rains, they’ll behave like a sponge securing as much water as possible. As it works its way in the cracks into your roof it might well cause serious and costly deterioration to the rafters and joists. Also you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and rolled 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, getting your roof cleaned is a required job for a number of reasons.
For many people though wanting a clean roof is simply an aesthetic decision and we don’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very dull due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and this is when a roof cleaning company is vital. Roofs are also periodically discoloured and stained by a common place bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise stunning house. By all means, this bacteria growth is completely normal but after all it isn’t pleasant to see 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 seeing your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be lovely to see it looking as good as new once more?
Maybe you’re wondering, “Is this a simple DIY job that I should try to do myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to recommend what the best way to do this is.
Can I do this myself?
The biggest reason why most people haven’t attempted to clean their own roof is the fact that it involves working at a height where most of us wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable. At these heights any sort of tumble can lead to a very serious injury.
