Why have it cleaned?
A large build-up of moss and algae on the tiles on your roof and other natural growth could well cause you serious problems with the roof and the durability of the tiles will eventually be compromised too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will quickly spread uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them over time until cracks become visible. Like all plants they need water to live, and once it has rained, they’ll act like a sponge securing as much water as possible. Once it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and expensive destruction 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’s.
