Roof Cleaning Sunny Hill offers a complete roof cleaning service for private and business premises in Sunny Hill and surrounding towns and villages in Nottinghamshire. Getting your roof cleaned is a relatively simple improvement to make to the look of your house, by clearing moss, lichen, dirt and anything else that has built up up there.
As a roof ages and become more porous, many become invaded by moss and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and without moss and dirt is usually challenging for most homeowners and may become a major cause for issues.
Would it not be wonderful to have your roof look new again?
Why do it?
A really serious accumulation of moss, dirt on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth could well cause big problems with your roof and the life-span of the tiles will eventually be compromised too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly spread uncontrollably with their roots finding their way into vulnerable spots in the roof tiles, steadily widening them over time until cracks emerge. Like all plants they need water to thrive, and after it rains, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. Once it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it could cause serious and expensive deterioration to the rafters and joists. Also you could well find moss that has come loose and fallen down the roof ending up in your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia’s. Really then, arranging to have a roof cleaned is an important service for a number of reasons.
For many though wanting a clean roof is purely an aesthetic preference and we can’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very dull due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and then a roof cleaning professional is needed. Roofs are also often tarnished and stained by an everyday bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise beautiful house. Without a doubt, this bacteria growth is not unusual but after all it isn’t nice to see and after a while it can damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day. After years of observing your roof get more and more dirty wouldn’t it be lovely to see it looking as good as new once more?
Maybe you’re wondering, “Is this a simple 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 just do this alone?
The most common reason why a lot of people don’t want to risk cleaning their own roof is because it requires working at a height where most of us wouldn’t feel comfortable or safe. At these heights any sort of slip can lead to a very serious wound.
Many dodgy tradesmen who attempt this kind of work, reckon it is easy money and that it doesn’t take any skill. How true is that? A service like this requires a level of skill and attention that we can assure. Using the correct roof access equipment, the correct tools and our experience and know-how we can provide for you a roof cleaning service that is worthwhile without you needing to put yourself in unnecessary danger.
How is it done?
We will survey your roof attentively before beginning any work, to determine the best cleaning method to use depending on your roof. Then we will consider what’s growing there and the best way to clear out the growth. Next we can begin to work on cleansing your roof of organic colonising growths by getting deep into the root system of the moss and eliminating the spores. You’ll notice an improvement straight away and continued change over time.
