Roof Cleaning Stapleford offers a full roof cleaning service for private and business premises in Stapleford and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Having your roof cleaned is a relatively speedy way to improve the look of your house, by getting rid of dirt, moss, lichen and anything else that has grown on your roof.
As a roof becomes older and get more porous, many become invaded by algae, moss and dirt. Keeping your roof clean and without moss is usually very difficult for the majority of householders and may become a source of annoyance.
Would it not be nice to have your roof look brand new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
Large amounts of accumulation of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other natural growth is likely to cause major problems with your roof and the durability of the tiles will in time be compromised too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into weaknesses in the roof tiles, steadily widening them throughout time until cracks emerge. Like all living organisms they need water to survive, and once it has rained, they’ll behave like a sponge retaining as much water as they possibly can. As it works its way in the cracks within your roof it may 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 can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia boards. Really then, arranging to have the roof cleaned is an important job for a number of reasons.
For many people though cleaning their roof is solely an aesthetic decision and we don’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and then a roof cleaning professional is necessary. Roofs are also often tarnished and stained by a prevalent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise stunning dwelling. Of course, this bacteria growth is completely normal but after all it isn’t attractive to look at and it can over time 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 observing your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be great to see it looking almost as good as new again?
The next question is, “Is this a easy DIY job that I should try to do myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to propose what the best possible solution is here.
Can I clean it alone?
The most common reason why most people haven’t attempted to clean their own roof is because it usually means working at a height where a lot of us wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable. At these kinds of heights any type of fall can lead to a very serious wound.
