Roof Cleaning Services and Moss Removal Harlestone

Living in a lovely tidy house is good for our minds, not only for our health. Keeping the house in top shape involves much more than weekly vacuuming and dusting if you're a homeowner. You also need to jet wash your driveways, clean the gutters in the fall, wash the windows, and so on.

On this long list of house chores, you should include roof cleaning. Many homeowners forget about it, thinking that a clean roof doesn't matter much for a house's appearance. Well, they couldn't be more wrong. Not only does a clean roof improve a house's curb appeal, but it also contributes to its overall condition.

Even if roof cleaning isn't the most challenging house chore, it's one to better leave to the professionals. Harlestone Cleaners is a trustworthy company with excellent roof cleaning services. We specialize in pressure washing and removing moss and lichens. We also preserve the results by priming and sealing the roof. Call us today at 01604 279112.

    one stop for roof cleaning: Harlestone Roof Cleaners!

    before and after moss cleaning

    Harlestone Window Cleaners is a trustworthy roof cleaning company with many years of experience. We're the go-to company for such jobs in Harlestone and neighbouring areas, as commercial and residential clients hire us for roof cleaning. A clean roof makes any property more appealing, but hire professionals as they know how to do it right.

    Algae, moss, lichen, and mould make the roof look unsightly and damage its structure. There's not enough sun in a roof's north and west areas, so soot, dirt, and biomass thrive in such shady areas and make the roof look dull. Additionally, they impede the house from absorbing heat efficiently.

    Roof cleaning is also beneficial because it prevents water damage. If the roof is clean, gutters and pipes don't get clogged and perform correctly. All in all, a clean roof is a long-lasting roof.

    Harlestone Roof Cleaners remove mould, mildew, algae, etc.

    Debris, algae, mould, stains, leaves, dirt, and mildew deposit on the roof, so removing them regularly is mandatory. Additionally, weather and air pollutants impact the roof's texture and the house's structure as well. You need to keep the roof in good condition so that the house's structure doesn't suffer damage.

    The roofs are made with durable shingles and tiles, but that doesn't mean that algae cannot damage them still. Roof cleaning includes the removal of algae, lichens, and moss; we make sure that they don't regrow any time soon.

    Lichen, algae, and moss will alter the roof's heating and cooling abilities. Consequently, the house will lose its ability to remain warm or cool and the HVAC system will run without stopping. Next time you wonder why the energy bill is so high, think about your roof. When did you clean it the last time?

    It extends the lifespan of the roof

    A roof clean will extend the durability and reliability of the shingles and roof materials. Algae and moss can damage specific roof tile materials. Moss will make the asphalt shingles curl wet and increase the risk of falling in high winds. The situation is dangerous for your health and safety, not only for the roof. When you have the roof clean, you take care of your house and the family you care for.

    It's necessary when you have trees around the house

    Bird droppings, falling branches and leaves, and debris can alter the roof's appearance and integrity. Roof cleaning instantly revitalises the looks of your home. It's much needed when you have trees surrounding your property. It's also more affordable than repairs and replacing the roof that will be necessary when not cleaned accordingly.

    It improves the curb appeal

    Whether you plan to sell or just want to improve your house's curb appeal, having the roof cleaned is one of the best decisions to make. Hiring professionals for such services are affordable and can even increase your house's sale price.

    How Will Your Roof Look after roof cleaning?

    Cleaning the roof is good for your roof and for your entire house's appearance. After our team at Roof Cleaners Harlestone removes moss and lichen, the house will look impeccable and attractive again.

    The most crucial benefit of roof professional service and cleaning is cosmetic. You often jet wash your driveways, wash the windows, mow the lawn, but forget that roof needs proper TLC as well. No matter if you plan to sell your house soon or you want to make it looks its best, roof cleaning should be on your to-do list.

    On top of everything else, cleaning the roof will expand its durability. Moss, lichen, dirt, and other debris can collect on shady areas which reduces the amount of heat that the house can absorb. When you skip cleaning, the roof will cause dampness, which decreases the house's energy efficiency and increases the heating bills.

    Our Harlestone team can leave the roof spotless and attractive as new. You will be able to see the initial colour of the roof tiles after we clean them. Even if a house is old, a professionally cleaned roof will improve its curb appeal and extend its durability.

    If you need roof cleaning in Harlestone, we are happy to help. All of our roof cleaners are professionally trained and highly skilled. They are detail-oriented--it's a crucial skill for scraping roof moss. Our technicians will eliminate moss and lichen spores and stop their regrowth. Let our team make your roof look its best again with roof cleaning. 

    Should you clean the roof yourself?

    Professionals agree that exterior house maintenance must include roof cleaning. There's a common misconception that jet washing and high pressures are suitable methods to clean the roof. However, these methods can cause irreparable damage to the roof--we never recommend it! As experienced and knowledgeable technicians, we know which strategies to use to clean the roof without causing any damage. Jet washing and high pressure are never such methods.

    Roof cleaning may not be the most challenging task around the house, but it does imply a good skillset, proper equipment, and vast knowledge of roof cleaning. Unless you're not a professional roof cleaner, you should never embark on such a duty. For affordable roof cleaning services in the Harlestone area, Harlestone Cleaners is the most trustworthy company to hire.

    Harlestone Roof Cleaners have created an effective process for roof cleaning

    If we clean your roof, it will look new for a long time and will not need frequent maintenance. Of course, you can still try and clean the roof. However, you will learn fast that roof cleaning is a job for experienced professionals like us. When you have a team of skilled technicians working on your roof, you can have peace of mind knowing that it's well taken care of. One explanation comes from us following a specific process when cleaning roofs:

    Step 1- examination

    Please get in touch with our team at Window Cleaners Harlestone for roof cleaning services. When you call, one team member can also provide you with a free quotation for the service and schedule a meeting. We're flexible, so feel free to book us whenever works for you best. It's essential to have roof cleaning specialists check out the roof and see if your roof is in much need of repair work or replacement. 

    Don't worry about damaging your landscape while we work on the roof. We always begin with removing the vehicles out of our way; we seek not to alter anything on the property.

    Step 2- we scrape the roof

    Our technicians use ladders and scaffold platforms to reach your roof. We will eliminate all dirt, debris, moss, and residue buildup on the roof with specialized equipment (moss removal tools). It's a productive method and we also have shingle scrapers for various types of shingles.

    We include dirt removal from the gutters with our roof cleaning job. If you'd like, we can save the soil and moss for the mulch in the garden. If not, we can safely take it away from your property.

    Step 3- we use low-pressure steam cleaning

    We recommend our clients steam cleaning of the roof as it has many benefits. We avoid walking on the roof and use a lance or ladders instead. We use the low steam on the pressure washer to leave the roof stain-free. Low-pressure washers are gentle and don't alter the shingles' integrity or the protective layer. This method is highly effective as it removes algae, lichens, and stains from the roof and kills their root systems.

    Step 4- we apply biocide

    Biocide is the most effective substance to kill mildew, moss, mould, fungi, and other organic substances. It's also known as the bio-wash and mould inhibitor because it prevents harmful organics and organic substances from growing. 

    The biocide treatment that our team applies has had results for a long time. The treatment is active for many months and doesn't allow moss and mould to grow. Moreover, the treatment eliminates stubborn stains and works rapidly. On top of everything else, it's really affordable.

    Step 5- clean up

    Roof cleaning can be a messy job. However, our technicians will leave the roof cleaner than ever and the property as it was before.

    How long does it take to clean roof tiles?

    Several factors impact the length of the cleaning process, with size, age, and condition of the roof as the most important ones. For instance, if moss has severely damaged the roof, we will need more time to clean moss than we would with a slightly altered roof. The kind of access we have to the roof tiles will also impact the cleaning process. Our cleaners use extendable poles when cleaning the roof from ground level. If necessary, they will use cherry pickers-- the cleaning process will be long, though.

    Our technicians at Harlestone Window Cleaners will need between 1 and 3 days to complete a cleaning job. The clean-up afterwards is, in fact, the most time-consuming part of the process. Our team won't leave the mossy and algae build-up on your property but will take it away. When using the biocide and bleach, they do it carefully, making sure not to cause any pollution. We follow strict safety regulations so that our cleaning process doesn't harm anyone or anything.

    At Harlestone Roof Cleaners, we pride ourselves on cleaning the roof fast and efficient because we are experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable. Roof cleaning will be a pleasant experience with us every step.

    Moss doesn't have roots and only needs a damp setting to grow. The small flowerless plants will expand in eco-friendly globs and likes shady areas. Our roof cleaning process is complete and includes moss removal. We recommend moss removal for several reasons:

    Improve Appearance

    Moss makes a roof unsightly and alters your house's appearance as well. Let the team at Roof Cleaning Harlestone improve the appearance of your roof and your home. If you want to move house, moss removal is one step to selling high. The process will give the tiles their original look and make your house more appealing to buyers.

    clean lichen free roof tiles vs mossy tiles

    Reduce damage to tiles

    Holes and cracks in the tiles develop due to lichen (white spots). Removing white lichen is a tedious process; you will need to wait a few months until you see the results of chemical treatments. If need be, we will also employ pressure washing to remove it.

    No more moss cleaning

    As moss falls on the driveway or patio, you must sweep them every few days. When there's a lot of moss on the roof, it can fall and make you sweep the driveway daily. Moss may already clog the gutters and cause dampness and drainage issues. Professional moss removal is the best solution to all of these problems.

    Fewer roof repairs

    Roof moss will impede roofers from repairing your roof when necessary. Severe roof problems could be lying under large amounts of moss-- repairs cannot be done without removing moss first.

    As a responsible homeowner, you should include roof cleaning on your to-do list. We don't recommend you do it yourself but hire professionals for it. Contact our team at Harlestone Cleaners for further details about our services and rates.

    We leave the roofs clean and in excellent condition as we only use soft washing methods (chemical cleaning) and pressure washing. We choose the cleaning method for your roof depending on its age, condition, level of dirtiness, and budget. When you call us, one of our representatives will give you all the information you need. Since our technicians are in the know about roofs, they will examine the roof before cleaning. If they find issues with the roof, they will inform you and suggest the best approach to solve the problems.

    How much does the roof cleaning service cost?

    The size and condition of the roof make the most critical factors that affect the final cost. When you call us, we can offer an obligation quote and our services come at fair and competitive rates. We can use Google Earth to measure the roof and decide the methods for cleaning.

    Domestic dwellings

    Typically, domestic roof cleaning services range between £450-£1450. Residential roof cleaning jobs are more affordable than commercial roof cleaning.

    Businesses

    Commercial roofs are made with materials that require less time, energy, and work than residential roofs. Contact us for information about our methods and rates. 

    Frequently Asked Questions about Roof Cleaning

    Will the roofer walk around the roof?

    The technicians at Harlestone Window Cleaners typically use mobile scaffold platforms and ladders to clean the roof. Walking on the roof is dangerous for the roofers and the roof as well--it can damage the roof permanently. Our cleaners use lance technology for a safe and stress-free roof cleaning. As for the chimney and other tricky-to-access areas, we are extra careful and seek to clean the roof with no damage.

    What are the black spots on your roof?

    The black spots on the roof are typically gloecapsa magma. The black organic substance is quite damaging as it feeds on the shingle materials. As a result, it alters the roof and makes it look unsightly as well. Moreover, the black spot will make the roof reflect the heat, so your house will no longer stay warm as expected. The heating system will work non-stop as it tries to warm the home. Those high energy bills come from the black spots on your roof.

    Our Harlestone roof cleaners are experts in removing the black spots from the roof. The process takes time, but the benefits are many-- who doesn't want a spotless roof?
