Roof Cleaning Services and Moss Removal in Harpole

Every home — big, small, apartment or vacation home — gets dirty. And while it's relatively easy to keep a small flat nice and tidy, we cannot say the same about a house. No matter how big or small a home is, there will be myriads of things to keep a house, in and out, clean and attractive. Washing the windows and the driveways and cleaning the gutters before winter are some of the many things a responsible homeowner should manage.

Some of these tasks are easy, whereas others are tricky, risky, and require specialized equipment. It's the case of roof cleaning, which isn't the most complex cleaning task, but it's dangerous. Plus, one will need specific equipment to climb and clean the roof to perfection. Sounds easier said than done, we know.

Our technicians at Harpole Cleaners are experienced, highly skilled, and have access to excellent equipment to perfectly clean your roof. They will expand the roof's lifespan by pressure washing it to remove moss and lichens and by priming and sealing your roof. Call us today at 01604 279112.

    one stop for roof cleaning: Harpole Roof Cleaners!

    before and after moss cleaning

    Harpole Window Cleaners is a trustworthy roof cleaning company with many years of experience. We're the go-to company for such jobs in Harpole 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.

    Harpole 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 Harpole 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 Harpole 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 Harpole, 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 Harpole area, Harpole Cleaners is the most trustworthy company to hire.

    Harpole 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 Harpole 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.

    Since our technicians at Harpole Window Cleaners are experienced and skilled, they will clean the roof in between 1 and 3 days. As roof cleaning is messy, they will spend much of this time cleaning afterwards. Our technicians take moss and algae deposits away from home. The risk of pollution is high when using bleach and biocide, but our technicians will be careful when handling them. We have instilled strict safety protocols and our technicians abide by them.

    When you hire Harpole Roof Cleaners, you can relax knowing that experienced technicians will care for your roof. We work safely and quickly and have minimal intrusion in your life with our procedures.

    Contact Harpole Roof Cleaners for moss removal

    Moss is a flowerless plant without roots that needs a damp setting to thrive. The small plant expands in eco-friendly globs and loves the shady areas.

    Roofs with moss require special cleaning, so here's why you should consider it:

    Improve Appearance

    Moss alters the appearance of the roof and the house as well. The team at Roof Cleaning Harpole will clean the roof and make it look its best.

    If you want to give your home a fresh feel, consider hiring us for roof cleaning. It will take ages off your house and help you sell high--if you plan on selling.

    clean lichen free roof tiles vs mossy tiles

    Reduce damage to tiles

    Lichen (white spots) lead to cracks and holes in the roof's tiles. Chemical treatments are effective at removing white lichen, but the results show in several months. If necessary, we will use pressure washing to eliminate white lichen.

    No more moss cleaning

    As you sweep your patio or driveway, you may see moss on the ground. When there's a lot of moss on the roof, it can fall from it, especially if the gutters are clogged. If you call professionals for roof cleaning, you won't have to sweep the driveway daily.

    Fewer roof repairs

    Moss on the roof makes it look aged and stops it from doing its job. If your roof needs repair work, roofers won't proceed until the roof is removed from the roof. Moss can hide severe problems on the roof.

    Don't wait and call professionals to clean your roof. We advise you to hire professionals instead of trying to do it on your own. Contact our team at Harpole Cleaners to learn more about our services and the prices for roof exterior cleaning services.

    Over the years, we have learned that soft cleaning (chemical cleaning_ and pressure cleaning are the most effective as they're also gentle on the roof. However, we're flexible and look for the most efficient cleaning method for each roof, considering its age, condition, type, and level of dirtiness. Entrust your roof with our technicians as they're knowledgeable, skilled, and experts and clean your roof to perfection. They will advise you accordingly if your roof also needs repair or replacement.

    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.
