Why have it cleaned?
A really serious accumulation of dirt, moss on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth may cause you big issues with the roof and the life-span 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 finding their way into weak spots in the roof tiles, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks become visible. Like all plants they need water to survive, and when it rains, they’ll act like a sponge retaining as much water as possible. As it finds its way through the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and expensive damage to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof into your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia boards.
