Roof Cleaning Moss Removal

Roof cleaning is an important part of home maintenance, yet this essential job is often overlooked by homeowners. This is a mistake, a dirty moss covered roof not only looks bad it can lead to damage as well.

In addition to its appearance on the property, moss can damage the structure of masonry and roof tiles; moss retains water and when this freezes in winter it can cause the tiles to crack or become detached and fall off.

However one of the main reasons why roof cleaning is so important is that a roof says a lot about your property. A dirty moss covered roof makes any property look neglected and uncared for, negatively impacting the value and the appearance of your home.

Roof cleaning is a dirty job that is always best left to a specialised cleaning service. Although you may usually carry out your DIY maintenance yourself cleaning your own roof is never recommended. This is because there is plenty to go wrong, you can damage the roof if you use incorrect cleaning methods and tools, and working at height is never a good idea unless you have the correct safety equipment.

Moss Treatment

Roof treatment is applied following a clean to remove any remaining spores and make the clean last for years to come.

When we carry out a roof scrape, we remove all moss from the roof by the use of specially designed scraping tools that will suit the exact size and type of your roof tiles. Once the roof has been cleared of moss right down to the gutter line, we remove all the debris and moss and take it away. Safety is a major consideration. We have a range of mobile scaffolding units and a cherry picker on hand so we can carry out the work efficiently and without any danger.

The final step is to apply a suitable treatment to prevent the moss from returning. Our treatment process kills off all remaining moss and algae, leaving your roof, clean and in moss free condition for years to come.

Steam cleaning can only be used on select tiles. There are many factors to take into account when choosing to use this method. The low pressure high temperature method can achieve instant clean results. This combined with the post treatment we apply will keep your roof looking amazing for years after its clean. We always carry out a pre-inspection on every property we work on and can advise on the best suited cleaning method.

Roof Treatment

Biocide treatment is a specialized chemical application used to prevent the regrowth of organic matter such as moss, algae, lichen, and mold on roofs after they have been cleaned.

It is applied after roof cleaning to kill any remaining spores that pressure washing or manual cleaning may not have removed. This treatment helps prolong the cleanliness of the roof, prevents staining, and reduces the risk of organic growth damaging roofing materials over time.
