Roof Cleaning

Over time, your roof will become covered with moss, algae and litchens. These cause damage to the pointing and the tiles. Moss and biological growths eat away at the slate and tiles, damaging them and taking years off their life span. Also, when moss grows between tiles in the winter the moisture freezes and expands, causing the roof tiles to crack. Added to this, when wet, moss is extremely heavy causing added weight and strain to the structural strength of the roof.

Moss can also block downpipes and guttering and cause constant cleaning of debris from your patios and driveways, but this doesn’t necessarily mean you need the excessive cost of a new roof.

There is many differant ways we clean roofs depending on multiple factors.
we can Steam cleaning, low pressure wash your roof or for more delicate roofs we use a specially designed scraper tailored to the type of tile to remove the moss and treat with a process called Softwashing. We use low pressure tools and specialist chemicals applied from working platforms or from the safety of the ground using high reach poles and tools when possible.This prevents us from standing on delicate roof tiles and causing any damage. Even though getting on your roof is sometimes required.

All of the roofs we clean are treated treated with chemicals to prevent moss and lichen from growing back for years to come.
