Roof Cleaning Dunstable & Roof Moss Removal Dunstable
A reliable and professional service is paramount for roof cleaning and roof moss removal. Although the roof is not easily seen as a whole, it is one of the most critical sections of any building. Without a fully working roof, your entire property is at risk.
The Importance Of Roof Maintenance
As a property owner, you will know how important it is to look after the structure of your building. The roof plays an essential role and therefore requires a good level of maintenance. Roof Cleaning Dunstable and Roof Moss Removal Dunstable allows residential and business property owners the opportunity of excellent roof care.
Property prices can drastically decrease if a roof is left to deteriorate. If not tended to, some faults can lead to large parts of the roof needing to be replaced. This is stressful and expensive. Roof Moss Removal Dunstable gives your roof a fresh appearance and an extra burst of life. This is done by removing any organic matter that has accumulated due to damp conditions. Porous tiles enable moss, mould and algae to thrive and cause tiles to crack and become loose. Eradicating these harmful contaminants will restore your tiles to a fantastic condition. Using a Roof Sealer will protect them from moisture and weather damage and can last for three to four years.
Some risks of a faulty roof include black mould in your homes and walls becoming damp. This can anger allergies and cause serious respiratory problems for some people, and is difficult to fix in the house. You will also notice a rise in energy bills if your roof is not airtight because of the loss of insulation. You may want to try roof cleaning yourself, but this is not safe or effective. You will risk an injury, and without the correct products, the roof will not receive a sufficient clean.
The Process For Roof Cleaning & Roof Moss Removal
- Initially, the roof will be treated with a powerful cleaning solution (our Green Clear) to eliminate the active growth of moss and lichen that many roofs in Dunstable suffer from. This is highly important as not only can this harmful growth reduce the value of your property, but it can also physically damage the tiles, where the moss affects tile integrity causing breakage or complete loss of the tile. By leaving this growth to expand, your home is then put at a higher risk of water and debris damage, and it is less effective at retaining heat.
- The Roof Cleaning Dunstable and Roof Moss Removal Dunstable would then be carried out with specialist roof cleaning equipment. This will remove moss, algae, lichen, dirt and pollutants. Our contractors take the cleaning of any residential or commercial roof in Dunstable with great care and can ensure that there are plenty of options available to you that will give your roof the original vibrancy it had when it was first installed.
- After roof cleaning, the roof can be inspected, and any long-standing damaged areas can be repaired. 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 clean, repaired and dry, all roofs would benefit from applying a protective sealer or coating 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 Coating is water vapour permeable, allowing the roof to 'breathe'. This importantly enables the roof tiles to expel moisture from the inside out. If any coating or sealer is applied that does not enable 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.
