Roof Cleaning Pear Tree provides a roof cleaning service for private and commercial properties in Pear Tree and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning is a relatively quick way to improve the appearance of your house, by getting rid of moss, lichen, dirt and more that has built up there.
As a roof becomes older and get more porous, many become invaded by moss and debris. Keeping the roof clean and without moss and debris is usually challenging for most owners and may become a major cause for problems.
Would it not be nice to have your roof looking like new again?
Why have it cleaned?
Large amounts of build-up of dirt, moss on your roof and other organic growth is likely to cause major problems with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these plants will quickly grow uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into weaknesses in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to survive, and when it rains, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as possible. Once it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it could cause serious and expensive deterioration to the rafters and joists. Also you could well discover moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof into your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia boards. Really then, getting your roof cleaned is a required service for a number of reasons.
For many though cleaning their roof is purely an aesthetic preference and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and at that point a roof cleaning professional is needed. Roofs are also periodically tarnished and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the natural appearance of your otherwise beautiful dwelling. Of course, this bacteria growth is completely natural but after all it isn’t pleasant 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 progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be lovely to see it looking like brand new once more?
Next you might ask, “Is this a straightforward DIY job that I should attempt to do myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to suggest what the best possible solution is here.
Can I do this alone?
The most common reason why most people don’t want to risk cleaning their own roof is because it involves working at a height where a lot of us wouldn’t feel safe and secure. At these heights any type of slip can result in a very serious wound.
Many cow-boy tradespeople who attempt this kind of work, reckon it’s easy money or that it does not need a lot of skill. How true is that? A service like this requires a level of skill and care that we can provide. Using proper roof access equipment, the best tools and our skill and know-how we can deliver a roof cleaning service that pleases you without you having to put yourself at needless risk.
What is the process?
We will inspect your roof carefully before commencing any work, to identify the best course of action depending on your roof. Then we will assess what’s growing there and the best approach to take to remove the growth. Then we can start to work on eradicating the roof of organic colonising growths by getting right into the moss root system and killing the spores. You’ll notice an immediate improvement and continued change as time passes.
A few things to consider.
We have already looked at some other elements that can affect a roof cleaning service. Now, let’s have a quick look at these.
- Size of dwelling and the size of its roof.
- The level of vegetation that is growing on the roof.
- The type of roof – e.g. in the case of a thatched roof, no water is used.
- Accessibility of the roof.
- How high is the roof?
