Would it not be wonderful to have your roof look brand new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
A large accumulation of dirt, moss on your roof and other organic growth is likely to cause you serious problems with the roof and the durability of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you neglect 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 time until cracks emerge. Like all plants they need water to survive, and after it rains, they’ll work like a sponge retaining as much water as they possibly can. As it finds its way through the cracks within your roof it could cause serious and expensive destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well find moss that has dislodged and rolled down the roof into your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia boards. Really then, arranging to have a roof cleaned is a required job for a few reasons.
