Moss, algae and dirt on the roof of your home not only ruin the aesthetics of your house, but they can also cause much larger problems. For many people removing unsightly moss and algae is reason alone for roof cleaning. However, moss and algae also strip the protective layers of your roof which leaves your entire home vulnerable.
The roof cleaning process is carried out in stages, generally following these steps:
Step One - we will come out to inspect how bad the roof is and how we will deal with the underlying fungal growths - moss, algae and lichen being the most common.
Step Two - the roof will be given an in depth clean with specialist roof cleaning equipment to thoroughly clean off the entrenched dirt and grime that has accumulated over many years.
Step Three - now totally clean and once dry, the roof will be examined once more and any areas that require added attention will be tackled.
What is Soft Wash Roof Cleaning?
For further protection you then have the option of our roof sealer or coating which provides an impenetrable barrier making it difficult for moss, algae and lichen to get a foothold. Also, dirt and grime can't adhere to the roof because it will be washed away when it rains. Soft washing is the application of powerful, safe chemical cleaning products at low pressure. The chemicals do the cleaning and are strong enough to clean even more effectively than jet washing. Low pressure is far more suitable for delicate surfaces like roofs as tiles are easily damaged or dislodged if blasted with high pressure jet washers.
After applying the chemicals and allowing them to soak in they are rinsed, and the process repeated. The results are stunning and soft washing is by far the safest and most effective way of cleaning roofs. We do not jet wash roofs because of the likelihood of damaging them, water entering the attic and the incredible amount of mess that is generated flying all over your garden, vehicles, your neighbour’s property and the street in front of your house.
