Roof Cleaning Nottingham provides a professional roof cleaning service for private and commercial properties in Nottingham and surrounding areas in Nottinghamshire. Having your roof cleaned is a relatively simple way to improve the appearance of your property, by removing moss, lichen, dirt and more that has grown up there.
As a roof ages and become more porous, they are often affected by moss, algae and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and without moss and debris is usually challenging for many owners and can become a major source of annoyance.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have your roof look new again?
Why should I do it?
A really serious build-up of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other organic growth is likely to cause you major issues with the roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will in time be compromised too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow out of control with their roots working their way into weak spots in the roof tiles, gradually widening them throughout time until cracks emerge. Like all living organisms they need water to thrive, and when it rains, they’ll act like a sponge retaining as much water as they possibly can. As it works its way in the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and costly deterioration to the rafters and joists. Also you could well discover moss that has dislodged and rolled down the roof finding itself in your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia boards. In conclusion, having the roof cleaned is a required job for many reasons.
For many people though wanting a clean roof is entirely an aesthetic decision and we don’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and this is when a roof cleaning company is needed. Roofs are also periodically discoloured and stained by an everyday bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the natural appearance of your otherwise stunning dwelling. Without a doubt, this bacteria growth is not unusual however it isn’t pleasant to see and gradually it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day. After years of watching your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking like brand new like it used to?
