Roof Cleaning Nanpantan provides a roof cleaning service for private and commercial properties in Nanpantan and surrounding towns and villages in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning is a quick way to improve the look of your house, by getting rid of dirt, moss, lichen and anything else that has accumulated on your roof.
As roofs age and become more porous, they are often invaded by moss and debris. Keeping your roof clean and without moss and dirt is usually challenging for the majority of householders and becomes a constant cause for annoyance.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your roof looking like new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
Large amounts of build-up of moss and algae on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth could well cause you serious problems with the roof and the durability of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will swiftly spread uncontrollably with their roots working their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks appear. Like all plants they need water to thrive, and after it rains, they’ll behave like a sponge securing as much water as they can. Once it finds its way in the cracks into your roof it may well cause serious and expensive damage to the rafters and joists. Also you could well find moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof finding itself in your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia boards. Really then, arranging to have your roof cleaned is a required service 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 unattractive because of organic growths like lichen and moss, and this is when a roof cleaning service is necessary. Roofs are also often tarnished and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the natural appearance of your otherwise charming house. Of course, this bacteria growth is not unusual but after all it isn’t nice to see and gradually it can damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that hasn’t been cleaned can be night and day. After years of watching your roof get more and more dirty wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking as good as new once more?
The next question is, “Is this a easy DIY job that I should attempt to do myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to propose what the best way to do this is.
Couldn’t I just clean it alone?
