Why have it cleaned?
Large amounts of accumulation of moss and algae on roof tiles and other natural growth could well cause big problems with your roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will over time be affected too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly spread out of control with their roots finding their way into weaknesses in the roof tiles, steadily widening them throughout time until cracks appear. Like all plants they need water to survive, and after it rains, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. As it finds its way through the cracks into your roof it could cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well discover moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof finding itself in your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia boards. In conclusion, having a roof cleaned is a required service for many reasons.
