Having your roof cleaned can be a relatively speedy way of improving the look of your home, by getting rid of moss and more that has grown on your roof.
As a roof ages and get more porous, they are often affected by moss, algae and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and without moss and dirt may be challenging for many householders and can become a continual cause for annoyance.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why should I do it?
A really serious accumulation of moss, dirt on your roof and other natural growth may cause you serious problems with your roof and the life-span of the tiles will in time be affected too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will swiftly spread uncontrollably with their roots creeping their way into vulnerable spots in the roof tiles, progressively widening them throughout time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to thrive, and after it rains, they’ll behave like a sponge securing as much water as possible. Once it finds its way through the cracks into your roof it may well cause serious and expensive deterioration to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well find 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’s. Really then, having your roof cleaned is a necessary job for a number of reasons.
For a lot of people though getting their roof cleaned is purely an aesthetic decision and we don’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and then a roof cleaning service is needed. Roofs are also often discoloured and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the natural appearance of your otherwise charming home. Without a doubt, this bacteria growth is not unusual however it isn’t attractive to look at and gradually it can damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day. After months and years of seeing your roof get dirtier and dirtier wouldn’t it be great to see it looking as good as new once more?
The next question is, “Is this a easy DIY job that I should try to do myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to suggest what the best possible solution is here.
Could I do this alone?
