Roof Cleaning Melbourne offers a roof cleaning service for home and business properties in Melbourne and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning is a quick and easy way to improve the look of your property, by getting rid of moss, dirt and more that has grown on your roof.
As a roof becomes older and get more porous, they are often affected by moss and dirt. Maintaining a roof that is clean and without moss and algae may be challenging for the majority of householders and may become a continual cause for annoyance.
Would it not be wonderful to have your roof look new again?
Why have it cleaned?
Large amounts of accumulation of moss and algae on roof tiles and other organic growth is likely to cause you big issues with the roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will in time be compromised too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will quickly grow uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them throughout time until cracks emerge. Like all living organisms they need water to thrive, and once it has rained, they’ll work like a sponge holding as much water as possible. As it works its way in the cracks into your roof it might well cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof ending up in your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia’s. Really then, arranging to have your roof cleaned is a necessary job for many reasons.
For a lot of people though getting their roof cleaned is solely an aesthetic decision and we don’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very dull because of organic growths like moss and lichen, and then a roof cleaning service is needed. Roofs are also often tarnished and stained by a prevalent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise stunning home. Of course, this bacteria growth is completely normal but after all it isn’t nice to look at and after a while it can damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that hasn’t been cleaned can be night and day. After months and years of seeing your roof get more and more dirty wouldn’t it be great to see it looking like brand new like it used to?
