Roof Cleaning Quarndon offer a full roof cleaning service for residential and commercial premises in Quarndon and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning can be a relatively quick improvement to make to the appearance of your property, by removing moss, lichen, dirt and more that has accumulated there.
As a roof becomes older and become more porous, many become affected by moss and dirt. Maintaining a roof that is clean and without moss is often very difficult for many homeowners and may become a major cause for issues.
Would it not be nice to have your roof look new again?
Why have it cleaned?
A really serious accumulation of moss, dirt on the tiles on your roof and other natural growth may cause major problems with the roof and the durability of the tiles will over time be affected too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these plants will swiftly spread out of control with their roots working their way into vulnerable spots in the roof tiles, gradually widening them over time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and once it has rained, they’ll behave like a sponge securing as much water as they can. As it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof finding itself in your gutter which can lead to 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 few reasons.
For a lot of people though wanting a clean roof is purely an aesthetic preference and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and this is when a roof cleaning service is necessary. Roofs are also often discoloured and stained by an everyday bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise stunning house. By all means, this bacteria growth is not unusual but after all it isn’t attractive to see and after a while it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day. After years of seeing your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking as good as new like it used to?
Next you might ask, “Is this a easy DIY job that I should have a go at doing myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to suggest what the best way to do this is.
Couldn’t I just do this myself?
The most common reason why most people haven’t attempted to clean their own roof is because it requires working at a height where most of us wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable. At these kinds of heights any type of slip can lead to a very serious injury.
Many rogue tradespeople who carry out this kind of work, claim that it is easy money or that it does not require much skill. Is there any truth in that? A job such as this requires a level of experience and skill that we can deliver. Using the correct roof access equipment, the right tools and our skill and understanding we can provide for you a roof cleaning service that you are happy with without you having to put yourself at unwanted risk.
What is the process?
We will survey the roof attentively before beginning any work, to establish the best cleaning method to use depending on your roof. Then we will assess what’s growing there and the how best to dislodge the growth. We can then start to work on cleansing your 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 over time.
Some things to think about.
We’ve already hinted at some other elements that can affect a roof cleaning job. Now, let’s also consider the following.
- Size of house and the size of the roof.
- How much vegetation is present on the roof.
- The type of roof – for example in the case of a thatched roof, no water is involved.
- How accessible is the roof?
- How high is the roof?
