Roof Cleaning Wilson offer a complete roof cleaning service for private and commercial premises in Wilson and surrounding towns and villages in Nottinghamshire. Roof cleaning is a relatively simple improvement to make to the appearance of your house, by clearing moss, lichen, dirt and anything else that has grown on your roof.
As a roof becomes older and become more porous, they are gradually invaded by moss and debris. Keeping the roof clean and without moss and algae may be challenging for many homeowners and becomes a source of issues.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why do it?
A large accumulation of dirt, moss on your roof and other natural growth is likely to cause big issues with your roof and the durability of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will quickly spread out of control with their roots working their way into vulnerable spots in the tiles of the roof, gradually widening them throughout time until cracks emerge. Like all living organisms they need water to thrive, and after it rains, they’ll act like a sponge securing as much water as possible. As it finds its way through the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Lastly you could well find moss that has come loose and fallen down the roof into your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia boards. In truth, having your roof cleaned is an important service for a few reasons.
For a lot of people though wanting a clean roof is entirely an aesthetic choice and we don’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unattractive due to organic growths like lichen and moss, and this is when a roof cleaning professional is needed. Roofs are also frequently discoloured and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise stunning home. By all means, this bacteria growth is completely normal but after all it isn’t attractive to look at and gradually it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that hasn’t been cleaned can be night and day. After years of watching your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be great to see it looking as good as new again?
The next question is, “Is this a simple DIY job that I should attempt to do myself?” Let’s look at some evidence to suggest what the best possible solution is here.
Couldn’t I just clean it alone?
The biggest reason why most people don’t want to risk cleaning their own roof is because it requires working at a height where a lot of us wouldn’t feel safe and secure. At these heights any sort of tumble can result in a very serious injury.
Many dodgy companies who do this kind of work, claim it’s easy money or that it doesn’t need much skill. Is there any truth in that? A service such as this requires a level of experience and skill that we can assure. Using proper roof access equipment, the best tools and our experience and know-how we can provide for you a roof cleaning service that pleases you without you needing to put yourself in unnecessary danger.
How is it done?
We will survey your roof carefully before starting any work, to establish the best cleaning method to use depending on your roof. Then we will consider what’s growing there and the best way to dislodge the growth. Next we can begin to work on cleansing your roof of organic colonising growths by getting right into the moss root system and killing the spores. You’ll notice an instant improvement and continued improvement as time progresses.
