Roof Cleaning


Our many years experience allows us to undertake many specialised steep and awkward jobs which other firms dare not.

Our roofs stay cleaner for longer. On completion of the cleaning, the roof is treated with a chemical fungicide which will keep it clean for at least 2 years.

Before and After Pictures

Reasons to consider having your roof cleaned:

Property Value
A fungus-covered roof is unsightly, can make your home look prematurely old and has a major impact on the overall appearance of your home. This could reduce the value of your property.

 

Roof Leaks
Heavy organic growth especially on the south side of a roof is often the cause of roof leaks. The joints between and at the bottom edge of tiles or slates are designed to allow water to flow down freely. During periods of heavy and prolonged rain, water can enter the roof if the joints and overlaps are choked with moss.

Thermal Efficiency
Dark fungus infested roofs absorbs the sun's heat. Convection stored in the upper levels of the home are unable to dissipate due to insulating factors inherent within the fungus. A cleaner, lighter coloured reflective roof provides a more comfortable living or working environment.

Moisture retention and substrate weakening
Roof tiles become porous when fungus is allowed to grow. This not only makes the tile more water absorbent but may shorten the lifespan of some types of roofs.

Health Risks
Research suggests that the presence of fungus in close proximity to human living environment can pose some health concerns, especially to those who suffer from allergy problems.

The roofs we treat stay cleaner for longer. This is due to an extremely effective fungicide, which inhibits the regrowth of fungus for at least 2 years.
