Would it not be great to have your roof look new again?
Why do it?
A large build-up of moss and algae on your roof and other natural growth may cause major issues with the roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will over time be compromised too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these plants will rapidly grow out of control with their roots working their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, progressively widening them over 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 possible. As it finds its way through the cracks into your roof it might well cause serious and expensive destruction to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well discover moss that has dislodged and rolled down the roof into your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia boards. Really then, arranging to have the roof cleaned is an important job for many reasons.
For a lot of people though getting their roof cleaned is entirely an aesthetic decision and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very dull due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and then a roof cleaning service is necessary.

The difference between a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day.
