Roof Cleaning Service
Restoring Your Roof's Shine
WHAT IS OUR APPROACH?
​
The National Federation of Roofing Contractors stipulate that the high water pressure lance sprays used by individuals walking on roof tiles, will pose structural questions to roof integrity.
​
With this in mind and IF we have decided to use water to clean your roof, we adopt the more efficient soft wash roof cleaning approach in combination with modulated pressure washing controlled from the ground or mobile elevated work platforms, thus eliminating the need to walk on the roof tiles whilst at the same time improving safety procedures across the site.
WHAT TO EXPECT
​
You will be amazed at the difference immediately and even more so as time goes by.
​
The precise method employed to clean your roof will be determined by the survey and your objective in cleaning the roof. Depending on the method employed – the natural colour of your tiles will be revived immediately or over time (6 – 12 months) and this will be explained prior to agreeing the works. After the tiles have been cleaned – your gutters will be emptied, windows will be cleaned and the surrounding area restored to the pre work condition. The only evidence of our being there will be a clean roof and no moss!
The moss is scraped off the tile using our telescopic poles fitted with an appropriate scraping tool to fit the tile profile. Or we use a specially designed telescopic pole with a 8"inch flat surface cleaner which gently washes the tile and removes the layer of dirt from the tile for a instant clean.
We empty all the gutters and downpipes so there is no remaining moss or debris so the gutters can flow freely. And to finish we clean down the gutters and UVPC.
​
Finally we spray the roof with a biocide which soaks into the tile or slate killing algae, fungi and bacteria. This biocide will continue to work on your roof for up to 12 months cleaning and restoring your roofs original colour although most results will be seen within the first 3 to 6 months.
What happens if you leave moss on your roof?
​
When moss grows abundantly, it becomes a heavy blanket on top of your roof that retains water and moisture and leads to rot, bacteria, and mold growth. This growth can shorten your roof's lifespan significantly
​
Is moss growing on shingles bad?
​
No matter whether you have cedar shakes, tiles, or composite shingles, moss is bad for your roof! As it grows it can push under shingles, tiles, and shakes, pushing them up and creating damage to your roof. Leaks – The damage to your roof caused by moss growth can lead to holes, thin spots, and eventually leaks.
