We understand that most people don’t think about their roofs very often, and many of us wouldn’t consider roof cleaning an important home maintenance task.
However, keeping the roof above your head in tip-top condition helps to extend its lifespan and catch any potential problems that could otherwise lead to costly repairs and hassle. And, of course, it helps your home to look great!
Want to know more about the benefits of cleaning your roof? Read our Purple Wellies guide to discover why roof cleaning plays a crucial part in maintaining your property.
Inhibits the growth of moss and algae
Moss, algae and lichen love damp spaces – and your roof provides an environment in which they can thrive. While this may not seem like a major issue, it can cause structural damage to your roof, leading to leaks, rot and expensive repairs.
The spread of moss also traps moisture, which means your roof does not get the chance to ‘breathe’ which can lead to cracked tiles – plus it makes your home look unkempt.
A professional roof clean removes organic contaminants. We use biochemicals to break down and loosen mildew, moss, and algae, before washing the debris and grime away to reveal a sparkling, moss-free surface that will look good for years to come.
Clear away debris and leaves
Your roof is a haven for all types of nasties that can cause long-term damage. Leaves, bird droppings, silt and debris build up on your roof and clog your downpipes and gutters, so they can’t drain away water effectively.
A professional roof cleaning company will remove the debris from your roof, gutters and downpipes, so they can do their job of directing water away from your walls and prevent costly water damage to your home.
Added kerb appeal
We all want our home to look appealing – especially if you are considering putting your property on the market. While you may not notice your roof very often, you can be sure potential buyers will be looking.
Having a clean roof will give purchasers the confidence that your home has been looked after and well maintained – and could be the deal-breaker that prompts them to put in an offer!
Save up to £18,000 in the long-term
Neglecting your roof can be a very costly mistake! The average cost for a roof replacement in the UK is £5,500, with most homeowners spending between £3,000 and £18,000 on a new roof.*
Cleaning the roof every three to five years will extend its life, so it is less likely to develop leaks or loose tiles.
And, with a professional roof cleaning service, you’ll be able to identify the early signs of structural damage and remedy the issues before the roof fails completely.
