Roof Cleaning Wollaton provides a full roof cleaning service for residential and commercial properties in Wollaton and surrounding villages/towns in Nottinghamshire. Having your roof cleaned is a quick improvement to make to the look of your house, by clearing moss, lichen, dirt and anything else that has built up up there.
As roofs age and get more porous, they are gradually invaded by moss and debris. Maintaining a roof that is clean and without moss and debris may be very difficult for most owners and may become a major cause for problems.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your roof look new again?
Why do it?
A large build-up of moss, dirt on roof tiles and other natural growth could well cause you big problems with your roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly spread out of control with their roots working their way into weak spots in the roof tiles, progressively widening them over time until cracks become visible. Like all plants they need water to survive, and when it rains, they’ll work like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. As it works its way through the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and expensive destruction to the rafters and joists. Lastly you could well find moss that has come loose and fallen down the roof ending up in your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia’s. In conclusion, getting your roof cleaned is a necessary service for many reasons.
For many people though wanting a clean roof is simply an aesthetic preference and we can’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like moss and lichen, and this is when a roof cleaning company is needed. Roofs are also often tarnished and stained by a frequent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the general appearance of your otherwise stunning dwelling. By all means, this bacteria growth is completely normal but after all it isn’t pleasant to see and gradually it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day. After years of watching your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking as good as new like it used to?
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.
Can I do this alone?
The biggest reason why most people don’t clean their own roof is since it usually means working at a height where a lot of us wouldn’t feel safe and secure. At these heights any sort of slip can result in a very serious wound.
Many dodgy companies who do this kind of work, claim that it is easy money or that it does not require any skill. How true is that? A service like this requires a degree of skill and care that we can deliver. Using the correct roof access equipment, the best tools and our skill and know-how we can provide for you a roof cleaning service that is worthwhile without you having to put yourself at unwanted risk.
What is the process?
We will inspect your roof carefully before beginning any work, to establish the best course of action depending on your roof. Then we will assess what’s growing there and the how best to remove the growth. Next we can start to work on eradicating the roof of organic colonising growths by getting deep into the moss root system and destroying the spores. You’ll notice an immediate improvement and continued improvement as time passes.
A few things to consider.
We’ve already hinted at some other things to consider that can affect a roof cleaning service. So, look at the following.
- Size of house and the area of the roof.
- How much vegetation is currently on the roof.
- The type of roof – e.g. in the case of a thatched roof, no water is involved.
- How accessible is the roof?
- Height of the roof.
Keeping all of the above in mind, don’t risk serious damage to you or dis-repair to your house by attempting a DIY roof clean. Fill in the free quote form or call us for your free quote, and leave it to us.
