Roof Cleaning

If your roof is covered in moss, we recommend our roof moss removal service. The damp climate in the UK can create the perfect conditions for moss, algae and lichens to thrive on a roof. Not only does moss look unsightly but it can also cause other problems such as gutters and downpipes becoming blocked. In addition, the extra weight of wet moss can cause stress on the roof structure. What’s more, during winter the freeze-thaw process may cause tiles to break. This can cause premature degradation and the appearance of your roof to deteriorate. Plus, it could also cost you a substantial amount of money in roof repairs.

Organisms and bacteria are on many roofs because of the damp climate in the UK. However, there is good news we can safely and effectively get rid of this rooftop menace. The first step is to carry out the roof moss removal with specialist equipment. After this we then treat it with Moss Clear Pro biocide. This is a high-grade microbiological biocide to impregnate the roof tiles and stop germination of the spores. In addition, inhibiting the regrowth of moss lichens and algae. Plus, it remains active for approximately 3-4 years, we then advise regular maintenance treatments. Moss Clear Pro can be used all year round, and it is a safe and green way to prevent algae and moss.

How is roof moss removal carried out?

Roof moss removal is carried out using specialist cleaning equipment. After the clean, a biocide treatment will be applied to the roof with specialist spraying equipment. We will ensure that will be as little disturbance as possible to you and your neighbours. The in-depth cleaning process will remove all moss, algae, lichen and any other dirt residue that has grown over the years. Throughout the process, we will ensure that downpipes are protected, with the gutters thoroughly cleared out and left clean. Plus all relevant areas are covered with sheeting or tarpaulin for protection. We will clean and remove rubbish to ensure the property is left clean and tidy.

Roof moss removal improves the look of your home

A dirty moss-covered roof looks unsightly but once clean it’s absolutely amazing the transformational effect it can have. Whether you’re looking to stay in the house long-term or if you’re looking to sell, a clean roof can work wonders. First impressions always count and keeping your roof clean will add ‘kerb appeal’ to your property.

Add value to your property with roof moss removal

A dirty moss-covered roof aesthetically will have a detrimental effect on the value. In addition, many surveyors are recommending that the moss is removed. What’s more, this often results in a higher price being obtained. Therefore, it makes sense financially to have this service carried out before you sell.

Roof moss removal extends the life of your roof

Moss thrives in damp and shaded environments and can severely damage the structural integrity of a roof. Plus, wet moss is heavy as it absorbs the moisture from the damp. This, in turn, establishes roots on the roof causing the beginning of roof degradation. The constant moisture can lead to bacteria and mould growth which can be a health hazard. All of this is not a sign your roof needs to be replaced. However, it is a sign that the roof is in need of a clean. This will extend the life of the roof; a clean roof is a healthy roof.

Roof cleaning is fast, safe and affordable

A ‘carpet’ of green moss growing on a roof can look very unsightly and can also lead to many other problems if left unchecked. Moreover, gutters and downpipes can become blocked and the extra weight of wet moss can cause stress on a roof structure. So, during the winter months, the freeze and thaw process may cause roof tiles to break. This can result in premature degradation of your roof and it can start to look unsightly. Furthermore, if this is left to deteriorate further, it could cost you a substantial amount of money for roof repairs.

The good news is that our roof cleaning moss removal services are safe, effective and can be done very quickly for most homeowners. Additionally, the cost of roof cleaning is also within the budgets of most homeowners. It can also improve the look and can add value to a property.

Moss Clear Pro Moss Prevention Treatment

Our roof cleaning contractors can professionally clean your roof and transform its appearance. The roof cleaning moss removal process will vary depending on what our customers are looking for. Once a roof has been cleaned by one of our registered roof cleaning contractors, the roof tiles will then be treated  Moss Clear Pro. This strong and effective biocide will impregnate the roof tiles, stop germination of any moss spores and inhibit any regrowth. Although Moss Clear Pro will continue to work long after the roof has been cleaned, for best results we recommend regular top-up treatments to keep the moss from growing back too quickly.

Moss Clear Pro can be used all year round as a preventative treatment as well as for general roof moss removal. For general roof cleaning moss removal, the product is applied in a more concentrated

Applying a protective roof sealer can help prevent the growth of moss

Our roof tile sealer comes with 10 Year Guarantee and will help to protect the roof tiles from deterioration. The roof tile sealer will make roof tiles water-resistant which in turn makes it harder for moss to grow on them. Furthermore, there is no need to carry out the expensive replacement of a roof just because there is substantial moss growth.

Damp roof tiles also contribute to higher energy bills due to the transference of heat from inside to out. Applying a roof tile sealer can help reduce energy bills by keeping the roof tiles dry and stop heat transference. Moreover, it will protect and improve the appearance of a roof as well as creating an invisible barrier to prevent damp penetration.

Once the roof cleaning process has been carried out and the roof tiles have been left to dry the roof sealer offers further protection for the roof tiles without altering their appearance. A  roof sealer provides high levels of water resistance, which in turn helps to keep the tiles free from the build-up of dirt and grime. 

Painting roof tiles after roof cleaning

Some roof tiles can look old even after cleaning and other options may need to be considered. When this happens, a clear roof sealer will not help as it will not change the appearance of roof tiles. However, there is a solution which can make an old roof look like new for a total roof transformation.

An application of a coloured  roof coating like Climashield™ can be applied to turn an old-looking roof into a new one. For complete peace of mind, Climashield™ also comes with a 10-year Guarantee. The durable roof coating restores the surface colour of concrete roof tiles giving them the appearance of a new roof. It also leaves the roof tiles water-resistant and protected from the harmful effects of UV light. Climashield™ Roof coatings also allow roof tiles to flex, expand and contract with changes in temperature, which helps to prevent cracking.
