We have been cleaning roofs for a long time.
In the UK, our climate lends itself to encouraging the growth of moss, fungi, algae and lichens all of which can thrive on roofs. Roofs can also collect dirt and become stained from other air bound pollutants particularly when close to busy roads.
A clean roof can make a world of difference to the appearance of your property. When properly cleaned and maintained the roof of your property can be restored to a near new finish, tiles can be restored to their original colour, giving your building a new lease of life.
As well as improving the aesthetics of your building, roof cleaning is an excellent preventative measure which can improve the longevity of tiles and avoid costly repairs to roofs, gutters and render caused by excessive moisture and extra strain and weight put on roof materials due to moss and other debris.
We understand that every roof we clean will have different requirements and are able to employ a variety of techniques that tackle all cleaning needs. We find that usually a roof clean will either require:
Soft washing approach which is a safe and gentle cleaning method involving the manual removal of moss etc using specially mixed chemicals and a biocidal treatment which prevents the re-growth of moss, lichen and other pollutants which can protect your roof for anywhere between 5 – 10 years (depending on environmental factors etc)
Pressure washing followed by a biocidal treatment. It is extremely important to note that whilst pressure washing can be an extremely effective roof cleaning method, there are many surfaces where it can be damaging and as such should only be used by professionals who understand when and where it is appropriate.
Our knowledge and experience mean that we can properly assess and advise on the best and most appropriate methods for cleaning your roof.
