Roof Cleaning Sutton-In-Ashfield offers a professional roof cleaning service for residential and commercial premises in Sutton-In-Ashfield and surrounding areas in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning can be a relatively quick improvement to make to the appearance of your house, by removing moss and more that has accumulated up there.
As a roof ages and get more porous, they are often affected by moss and dirt. Keeping your roof clean and free of moss can be very difficult for the majority of owners and can become a major problems.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your roof look new again?
Why do it?
A really serious build-up of dirt, moss on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth may cause you big issues with the roof and the durability of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow out of control with their roots working their way into weaknesses in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks emerge. Like all plants they need water to survive, and once it has rained, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. As it finds its way in the cracks into your roof it might well cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and rolled down the roof ending up in your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia boards. In truth, having your roof cleaned is a necessary job for a few reasons.
For many people though getting their roof cleaned is entirely an aesthetic preference and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and then a roof cleaning company is needed. Roofs are also frequently discoloured and stained by an everyday bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise charming dwelling. By all means, this bacteria growth is completely natural but after all it isn’t attractive to see and after a while it can damage your roof. The difference between a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day. After months and years of seeing your roof get dirtier and dirtier wouldn’t it be lovely to see it looking like brand new again?
Maybe you’re wondering, “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.
Should I clean it alone?
The most common reason why most people don’t want to risk cleaning their own roof is because it requires working at a height where many of us wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable. At these kinds of heights any type of tumble can lead to a very serious wound.
Many dodgy companies who attempt this kind of work, reckon it’s easy money and that it does not require any skill. How true is that? A job like this requires a level of skill and attention that we can assure. Using the appropriate roof access equipment, the best tools and our skill and understanding we can deliver a roof cleaning service that you are happy with without you having to put yourself in unnecessary danger.
What is the process?
We will investigate your roof attentively before beginning any work, to establish the best cleaning method to use depending on your roof. Then we will consider what’s growing there and the how best to clear out the growth. We can then begin to work on purging the roof of organic colonising growths by getting right into the root system of the moss and killing the spores. You’ll notice an instant improvement and continued improvement as time progresses.
Some factors to consider.
We’ve already hinted at some other factors that can affect a roof cleaning service. Now, consider just a few more.
- Size of house and the size of its roof.
- The level of vegetation that is currently on the roof.
- The type of roof – e.g. with a thatched roof, no water is used.
