Roof Cleaning Edinburgh & Roof Moss Removal Edinburgh

In Scotland, moss on roofs is a special issue. Smartseal provides expert roof cleaning, roof moss removal, and roof repair services that may completely change the appearance of residential and commercial buildings in Edinburgh or adjacent towns like Dalkeith, Musselburgh, and Craigleith.

Why Are Roof Care Services So Important?

Like any other element of your house, your roof has a tendency to get dirty. The typical reasons of an ugly roof are moss, algae, and lichen, but many homeowners are not familiar with the idea of professional roof cleaning. Because of the warm, damp climate that roofs produce, particularly on their north and west sides, a significant amount of moss and other creatures can be found on rooftops in Edinburgh.  Micro-organisms proliferate in great numbers and thrive so well that they start to stand out to the naked sight. The good news is that our professional roof cleaning contractors can get rid of it. They can do so promptly, safely, and, most importantly, for a cost that is reasonable.

Our Process For Roof Cleaning & Roof Moss Removal

Many roofs in Edinburgh suffer from a build-up of moss and dirt which looks unsightly and needs cleaning. This would be the process our Registered Contractors undertake if you employed the services of Roof Cleaning Edinburgh and Roof Moss Removal Edinburgh:

1. To get rid of moss, algae, lichen, grime, and pollutants, the roof would firstly receive a thorough cleaning with specialised roof cleaning tools and supplies (like our Green Clear).
2. Once totally clean, the roof is assessed, and any remedial roof repairs like cracked or broken tiles and the mortar that needs replacing due to weathering on hips, ridge tiles and valleys are carried out.
3. A biocide treatment will then be applied to ensure any residual sub-surface moss and algae spores are eliminated.
4. Once clean and dry, roofs would benefit from the optional application of Smartseal Roof Sealer or Roof Coating.

From Clean And Care To Quality: Our List Of Other Services

In addition, we offer our Roof Coating, which is perfect for tiles that have severely dulled from being exposed to the harsh UK weather or for tiles that no longer complement the appearance of the entire property. Our solution involves painting your roof tiles with a coloured coating to restore their colour while providing the same level of protection as a standard clear sealer. 

Smartseal Roof Coatings and Sealers are water vapour permeable, allowing the roof to 'breathe'. This importantly enables the roof tiles to expel moisture from the inside out. All our Roof Coatings and Sealers allow 'flexing' and movement within the roof tile. This is highly important because exposure to heat and cold will cause roof tiles to expand and contract, and our products won't interfere with this natural process.
