Why Regular Roof Cleaning Is Essential for Your Property?

If moss, algae, and dirt are left to accumulate on roof tiles, they can cause a range of serious problems. Moss absorbs moisture easily, adding unnecessary weight to the roof and placing it under stress. Over time, this moisture can penetrate the roof space, leading to dampness and structural damage. Because moss, dirt, and lichen act as a barrier, roof tiles are unable to dry properly in the sun, keeping them constantly moist and allowing water to soak through.

This persistent moisture can damage key parts of the roofing structure, causing timber rafters to rot and resulting in long-term deterioration. In addition, trapped moisture may lead to cracked tiles and further costly issues.

At A&R Roof & Hard Surface Cleaning & Restoration, our roof cleaning professionals specialise in both residential roof cleaning and industrial roof cleaning, offering comprehensive roof treatment services to safely remove moss and prevent regrowth, helping you protect your roof and extend its lifespan.

How Moss Damages Roof Tile Bonds and Roof Structure?

Roof tiles made from clay or concrete are particularly vulnerable to moss growth. Their porous surfaces and constant exposure to rain and damp conditions create the ideal environment for moss to take root and spread quickly. It often develops along the bonds that join ridge tiles, apex tiles, and the main roof surface. Growth in these areas can cause significant structural damage, weakening the bonds that hold the roof together. Professional roof treatment services can help prevent this by safely removing moss and protecting your roof from further deterioration.

Why Regular Gutter Cleaning Is Essential to Avoid Blockages?

The presence of moss, algae, or dirt on your roof tiles can also lead to blocked gutters. The build-up of moss and other debris can obstruct the guttering that runs along the roofline, causing water to overflow and run down the sides of the building. This can result in efflorescence staining on brickwork and may also cause damp and black mould within the walls of your property, both of which can be costly to repair. Our gutter cleaning services ensure your drainage remains clear once roof work is completed.
