Why do roofs need cleaning?
Roof cleaning can greatly improve the look of your property. Moss and bio growth can not only spoil the aesthetics of your house, but can cause damage to roof tiles, gutters and external walls.
Moss increases the amount/weight of water sitting on your roof as it acts like a sponge. With changes in temperature, the water held in the moss can freeze, expand and cause cracks and damage in your roof tiles and grout.
Moss falling from your roof can cause regular and severe gutter blockages which can damage gutter seals and overflow which if not quickly dealt with, can lead to mould and damp problems in your your walls.
You may not notice that you have a roof moss problem until you experience your gutters overflowing and moss on the ground around your property. Getting your roof cleaned and treated is an important way to keep your property well maintained. Visit our roof cleaning page for more information about our service.

Is it ok to pressure wash a roof?
Pressure washing can cause damage to roof tile. It often involves climbing on fragile tiles and if done from the floor or scaffold, water directed up can get under roof tiles and cause damage to your property. Soft washing is a safer and effective way to clean a roof which doesn't call for walking on the roof or high pressure. Visit our roof cleaning page to learn more about the roof soft washing method.

Do you climb on the roof?
