Hi everyone! It’s Amelia here from Lincs Window Cleaning, and today, we’re tackling a big question: “Why should I get my roof cleaned?” Whether you’re dealing with a moss-covered roof or just want your tiles to look like new again, there’s more to roof cleaning than meets the eye. Let’s dive in!
The Problem with Moss and Organic Growth
If you think moss on your roof is just a cosmetic issue, think again! 🌱 Here’s what can happen if you let moss, algae, and lichen take over:
Blocked Drainage: Moss can prevent your roof and gutter system from draining properly, leading to water pooling in the wrong places.
Water Damage: If water can’t drain, it will force its way under your tiles. This can damage wooden joists, wreck floorboards, and even seep through ceilings.
Structural Issues: In extreme cases, unchecked moss can lead to significant property damage.
The UK’s damp climate makes it a breeding ground for moss and lichen, especially on shaded roofs. But don’t worry—our professional cleaning services can help!
Roof Cleaning: More Than Just Looks
Restore Beauty: Roof cleaning doesn’t just protect your home—it makes it look fantastic.
We’ve restored countless roofs to their original color, from vibrant reds to subtle grays.
Prevent Growth: For new or lightly affected roofs, we recommend a 40 DDAC biocide treatment. This prevents moss and algae from growing in the first place.
If your roof already has heavy moss or stains, our steam cleaning service provides instant results, followed by a biocide treatment for long-term protection.
Long-Lasting Results: We guarantee no moss regrowth for 4 years. If it does return, we’ll retreat it at no extra cost.
What to Expect After Cleaning
Most roofs look stunning after a professional clean, but here’s what you should know:
Older Roofs: Some tiles may show slight colour inconsistencies due to age or previous repairs, but the improvement is still remarkable.
Artificial Slate or Asbestos Cement Tiles: We avoid cleaning these due to safety concerns, but we can apply a biocide treatment if moss isn’t present.
In rare cases, older tiles may have worn away their factory coating, revealing a raw material beneath. While this is uncommon, we’ll always discuss potential outcomes before starting.
