Roof Cleaning West Bridgeford offers a complete roof cleaning service for private and business premises in West Bridgeford and surrounding areas in Nottinghamshire. Having your roof cleaned is a relatively quick way of improving the look of your house, by getting rid of moss and more that has grown up there.
As a roof ages and get more porous, many become affected by moss and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and without moss is usually quite difficult for the majority of householders and may become a constant source of issues.
Would it not be great to have your roof look brand new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
A really serious accumulation of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other organic growth may cause you serious problems with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will in time be compromised too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow out of control with their roots finding their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to survive, and once it has rained, they’ll act like a sponge retaining as much water as they possibly can. Once it finds its way in the cracks into your roof it could cause serious and costly damage to the rafters and joists. Also you could well become aware of 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 penetrates and damages your fascia boards. Really then, arranging to have a roof cleaned is an important service for a few reasons.
For a lot of people though wanting a clean roof is simply an aesthetic choice and we can’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive because of organic growths like moss and lichen, and then a roof cleaning professional is necessary. Roofs are also often discoloured and stained by an everyday bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise stunning dwelling. Of course, this bacteria growth is not unusual however it isn’t attractive to look at and after a while it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that needs cleaning can be night and day. After years of observing your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be lovely to see it looking almost as good as new like it used to?
Next you might ask, “Is this a easy DIY job that I should attempt to do myself?” Let’s consider some evidence to suggest what the best possible solution is here.
Couldn’t I do this alone?
The biggest reason why a lot of people haven’t attempted to clean their own roof is since it usually means working at a height where many of us wouldn’t feel safe or comfortable. At these kinds of heights any kind of fall can lead to a very serious injury.
Many cow-boy tradespeople who carry out this kind of work, reckon that it is easy money or that it does not take any skill. How true is that? A service like this requires a level of skill and attention that we can provide. Using proper roof access equipment, the right tools and our skill and understanding we can provide for you a roof cleaning service that you are happy with without you having to put yourself at needless risk.
What is the process?
We will survey your roof attentively before beginning any work, to identify the best cleaning method to use depending on your roof. Then we will look at what’s growing there and the best approach to take to remove the growth. Next we can start to work on eradicating your roof of organic colonising growths by getting deep into the root system of the moss and eliminating the spores. You’ll notice an immediate improvement and continued change over time.
A few things to think about.
We have already considered some other factors that can affect a roof cleaning job. Now, look at the following.
- Size of dwelling and the size of the roof.
- The level of vegetation that is growing on the roof.
- Type of roof – e.g. in the case of a thatched roof, no water is involved.
- Accessibility of the roof.
- Height of the roof.
