So You Might Be Thinking Why Roof Cleaning Is Required?

If roof moss, algae and dirt is left on roof tiles, it can have a number of negative impacts. Moss absorbs moisture easily, which not only adds weight to the roof, putting it under stress, but can also result in moisture entering the roof space. Roof tiles cannot dry in the sun, as the moss, dirt and lichen act as a protective barrier, keeping the tiles moist, which can lead to moisture soaking through into the roof. This can and will damage integral parts of the roofing structure, causing timber rafters to rot, which leads to long term damage. Additionally, moisture can cause cracked roof tiles leading to further problems.

Damage To Roofing Structure

Roof tiles made from clay or concrete are particularly susceptible to moss growth. This is because their porous surfaces and frequent exposure to rain and damp conditions make them the perfect environment for moss to root down and spread very effectively. This means that it often grows on the bond that joins ridge tiles, apex tiles and the roof. Growing in these places can cause significant damage, agitating and breaking bonds that are key to the structure of the roof.

Blocked Gutters

The presence of moss, algae or dirt on your roof tiles can also result in blockages to your gutters. The build-up of moss and other materials can block the guttering that runs along the tiled roof, causing water to run down the sides of the building, which can lead to efflorescence staining on brickwork, but also result in damp and black mould within the walls of the property, which can be expensive to fix.

Heated roof cleaning is a safe and effective cleaning process if the correct guidelines are followed by the appropriate contractor. A&R Roof & Hard Surface are Smartseal trained and accredited heated roof cleaning contractors.

Our team of experienced heated roof cleaning technicians are trained to clean all types of roofing surfaces. Contaminants such as moss and algae thrive in the UK. Damp conditions lead to porous roof tiles, meaning the roof tiles will retain moisture throughout all seasons. This bacterial infestation can be easily managed by A&R Roof & Hard Surface Cleaning & Restoration Ltd.
