Roof cleaning can be a quick and easy improvement to make to the look of your home, by clearing moss, dirt and anything else that has grown on your roof.
As a roof becomes older and become more porous, they are gradually affected by moss, algae and dirt. Keeping the roof clean and void of any moss and debris can be very difficult for the majority of owners and may become a continual source of problems.
Would it not be wonderful to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why do it?
A large accumulation of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other organic growth could well cause you serious issues with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will over time be affected too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these plants will swiftly grow uncontrollably with their roots working their way into weak spots in the roof tiles, gradually widening them throughout time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to thrive, and once it has rained, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. As it works its way through the cracks into your roof it could cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well discover moss that has dislodged and rolled down the roof into your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia’s. In truth, getting a roof cleaned is an important service for a few reasons.
For a lot of people though getting their roof cleaned is entirely an aesthetic decision and we can’t fault you for that!

The difference between a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day. After months and years of watching your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking like brand new like it used to?
