Roof Cleaning Park Estate provides a full roof cleaning service for private and business properties in Park Estate and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning can be a relatively simple way of improving the look of your house, by getting rid of moss and anything else that has accumulated up there.
As roofs become older and become more porous, many become invaded by moss, algae and dirt. Maintaining a roof that is clean and void of any moss and dirt can be very difficult for most owners and may become a continual cause for problems.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have your roof look brand new again?
Why have it cleaned?
A large build-up of dirt, moss on your roof and other natural growth could well cause you major issues with your roof and the life-span of the tiles will in time be affected too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will swiftly spread uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, steadily widening them over time until cracks emerge. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and when it rains, they’ll behave like a sponge retaining as much water as possible. As it works its way in the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well find moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof ending up in your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia’s. In conclusion, getting your roof cleaned is an important job for many reasons.
For many though cleaning their roof is purely an aesthetic preference and we don’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive because of organic growths like moss and lichen, and this is when a roof cleaning company is vital. Roofs are also periodically tarnished and stained by a prevalent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise stunning dwelling. Without a doubt, this bacteria growth is not unusual however it isn’t attractive to see and gradually it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day. After months and years of seeing your roof get dirtier and dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking like brand new like it used to?
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 possible solution is here.
Should I do this alone?
The most common reason why most people haven’t attempted to clean their own roof is the fact that it requires working at a height where a lot of us wouldn’t feel comfortable or safe. At these kinds of heights any kind of tumble can lead to a very serious wound.
Many dodgy companies who attempt this kind of work, reckon that it is easy money and that it does not take much skill. How true is that? A service such as this requires a level of experience and skill that we can deliver. Using proper roof access equipment, the correct tools and our skill and know-how we can deliver a roof cleaning service that you are happy with without you needing to put yourself at needless risk.
What is the process?
We will survey the roof carefully before starting any work, to identify the best cleaning method to use depending on your roof. Then we will assess what’s growing there and the best way to remove the growth. We can then start to work on purging your roof of organic colonising growths by getting deep into the moss root system and eliminating the spores. You’ll notice an instant improvement and continued change as time progresses.
