If you are asking yourself like many other homeowners, What can I do to counter attack the problem, and get my roof back to it’s finer glory. Is there a solution? First i would like to educate you about the reason why roofs in a lot of areas have a thriving infestation of these organic matters in the UK these days. It is mainly due to different weather conditions and changing climates, plus, believe it or not, less pollution than previous years. As climate changes have kicked in over the years, we are now experiencing hotter summer months twinned with warmer damp winters, these damp humid conditions are a perfect breeding ground for moss, lichen, algae and weeds to thrive in this environment. Roof Moss Problems Some of organic vegetation brings new problems and concerns to our homes and roofs. Mainly the roots that penetrate the tiles and cement works on the ridges, valleys and hips, Over time the cement loosens and degrades. As your tiles are porous they can split due to the expansion of the penetrating root systems and continual ice and thaw through the winter months. Water ingress follows and can seriously damage the timbers and structure of our roofs. Left unattended for long periods of time, it can result in costly repairs. Moss Removal When the moss is left and creates a moss carpet effect which is unsightly on your beautiful home, this soaked moss can increase the weight of the overall roof, giving extra stress to an already fragile roof surface. Many of these problems can be avoided with a good professional roof cleaning and sealing programme. It will pay dividends in the future if you get the job completed by a fully insured tradesmen that do this kind of work day in and day out.

Key Benefits from Roof cleaning
Does cleaning your roof damage it? Our Soft washing roof cleaning method and approach is a safe and delicate cleaning method that first involves the manual removal of moss, algae and bacteria using our special contoured scrapers. This is followed by our specially mixed chemicals to slowly disintegrate and remove all the pollutants and dirt which can protect your roof, for anything up to 5 – 10 years (depending on certain environmental factors etc) Can I clean my own roof You can, but I would not advise it? We are trained to work at heights and from various platforms. Roof cleaning is a skillset like any other job that involves working from dangerous heights. I have seen too many accidents where people have tried to clean their house roofs and ended up in hospital. PLEASE don't let that be you! How often should a tile roof be cleaned? This can heavily depend on where your home is situated. If you live in a rural area surrounded by trees, foliage and organic growth then you would most likely need your roof cleaning more often than say a house roof in a urban environment, where there are more pollutants in the air and less trees and plant life. We have found that homes in urban areas that have trees adjacent to the roofs, will be more prone to moss, lichen and algae build up. Does moss cause damage to my roof? Moss is not just a lovely green organic covering, but it also consumes and retains water. This can be problematic for roofs because moss acts as an organic sponge that will suck up moisture from the atmosphere - even if you don't have any on your roof tiles yet! Without treatment, moss could cause major damage to UK concrete roof tiles by breaking down their surface slowly over time and eventually leaving them weakened enough that they'll need replacing sooner than expected. Moss also has another way of attacking gutters that would really tax homeowners' patience, by this I mean clogging them up with constant moss falling from your roof and blocking your downpipes, gutters, and drains. All in all, moss is a nuisance to the homeowner and can work out costly if not eradicated and removed promptly. What time of year is best to remove moss from roof? If you start to see moss falling into your gutters on a regular basis, or it is obvious from ground level and starting to forma carpet on your roof tiles, then it is clear that there has been a build-up of moss on your roof, now is the time to make sure it gets taken care of. Before long and before you know what's happened the problem will get out of control quickly becoming an even bigger job and headache than originally thought. The summer months are when weather conditions are usually dryer which makes for better work in these types of situations, so do not wait until winter comes around because this type of task can be very dangerous during wet times with windy and icy conditions making them more difficult to complete and hard work, meaning they need to get done as soon as possible! and by a professional roof cleaning company like ours.

Avoiding rogue traders Unfortunately in this line of work there are many rogue tradesmen that will part you from your hard earned money. Posing as legit roof cleaners their work will be sub par to what a professional roof cleaner can do. Please be careful when accepting a cheap price from one of these so called companies, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. A decision to get the work done by one of these unscrupulous cowboys could cost you dearly in the long run, and you have no comebacks if they are uninsured or do a runner. The damage they may cause can run into thousands of pounds and leave your roof open to the elements until repaired. Soft washing as Opposed to Pressure washing roof surface. Roof cleaning can be completed by both methods, but i assure you there is only one that is non-damaging and safe for your tiles and property. Please read the reasons below before making a decision on the roof clean method that you choose. Pressure Washing Roof Cleaning - WARNING!!! Tiles that are cleaned by this method will expose the tiles to the elements as it strips and damages the surface of the tiles, they will age more speedily as no protective coating will be there to protect the tile. Also this newly exposed surface will be the perfect breeding ground for moss, algae and lichen to re-grow, which is probably the reason that you wanted it cleaned in the first place. It is our professional view and if you ask any tile manufacturers, that this method is not the correct way forward in cleaning your roof. Soft Washing Roof Cleaning - CORRECT After our manual roof scraping we will only use low pressure equipment to pump our specially designed eco-friendly chemicals over the whole surface of your roof. This formula reacts and kills all unwanted organic matter that is left and prevents further re-growth. Now you will have a roof that is clean, disinfected, and tiles that will stay clean longer with no damage. This method is 100% safe and secure for your property or building.
