How Roof Cleaning And Roof Moss Removal Works

Initially, the roof will be pre-treated with a moss-killing anti-fungicide to eliminate the active infestation of moss and lichen that many roofs in the area suffer from. The roof cleaning would then be carried out by washing with specialist roof cleaning equipment. This will remove moss, algae, lichen, dirt and pollutants.

After cleaning, any areas that look worse for wear can be repaired. This is a good chance to treat any deterioration in the roof surface that has occurred due to weathering over time and can save you money in the long term if these issues are dealt with before they become bigger problems. The defective mortar between crests, ridge and hip tiles can be hacked out and re-pointed using a fibre re-enforced polymer mortar. Also, any loose ridges and crests can be re-bedded and damaged roof tiles replaced. 

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

Once totally clean, repaired and dry, all roofs would benefit from an optional application of a coloured Roof Coating or clear Roof Sealer  from Smartseal. Smartseal Roof Sealer has been developed to combat the constant problems of moss and weed growth and to enhance the natural colour and aesthetic appeal of new or mature roofing. This sealed surface will increase abrasion resistance, protect from erosion and weed infestation, and provide a barrier to contaminants, facilitating easy maintenance.

Smartseal Roof Coatings are water vapour permeable, allowing the roof to 'breathe'. This importantly enables the roof tiles to expel moisture from the inside out. If any roof coating or roof sealer is applied that does not allow this to occur, harmful fungal infections and mould growth can become widespread. Smartseal Roof Coatings are coloured with the highest quality pigments available, the benefits of this include greater resistance to colour deterioration from UV light and excellent adhesion between roof coating and tile. Smartseal Roof Coatings are 100% acrylic; they are also mixed with additional binders, which allow the roof tiles to flex with cold and heat as is typical.

Roofs where this has been applied often appear brand new and will add value to your home, as well as attract admiring glances from your neighbours.
