The Importance Of Roof Cleaning

The major benefits of our services are:

The eradication of organic growth – Infestations, such as algae, lichen and moss, can quickly thrive on porous roof tiles. Roof Moss Removal St Helens will remove these harmful growths, reducing the chance of tiles cracking. The application of a high-quality tile sealer will deter further growth and protect the tiles.

Cleaning of dirt and debris – Roof Cleaning St Helens will eliminate your roof area of dirt, grime, leaves, muck, soot and silt. The UK weather, teamed with wildlife activity, will build up natural dirt and mess on all roofs. This can significantly reduce the appearance of a building’s exterior.

Protect your investment – Roof cleaning is a fantastic way to ensure your property's value is retained. A dirty and faulty roof is off-putting for potential home buyers, and a neglected roof will dramatically decrease curb appeal.

Protect your home or business – Faulty roofs can cause leaks, dampness, and mould in the building. This is damaging to the structure of the property and your health. It is also costly to fix and will probably increase your heating bills as insulation reduces.

Our Process

The work will be carried out in stages, usually following this pattern:

1. Initially, a fungicidal wash or moss removal product (our Green Clear) will be applied to tackle the fungal growth, algae and lichen that are so prevalent on many roofs in St Helens.
2. Next, the roof will be thoroughly cleaned using our specialist cleaning equipment. This will finally take care of the fungal and moss growth tackled in the first stage and efficiently clear the roof of entrenched grime and dirt.
3. The third stage is examining the roof and taking care of any remedial work that may be required. There may be damaged mortar between the ridge and hip tiles, which can be chipped out and re-pointed. Any loose ridges and hip tiles can be re-bedded, and any damaged tiles replaced.

Once this is done and following a biocide treatment to ensure sub-surface moss spores are totally eradicated, all roofs would benefit from applying a Roof Sealer or Roof Coating. Smartseal Roof Sealer and Coatings provides an impenetrable barrier which ensures that the fungal growths mentioned above can't take hold. To a large extent, the same is true of unsightly grime and dirt, which will be washed away by rain.

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 and also protect from erosion and weed infestation and provide a barrier to contaminants, thereby facilitating easy maintenance. A roof sealer will make any roof tiles water resistant, which will further help to slow down the re-growth of moss, algae and lichen. It will also help to prevent further deterioration of roof tiles and help to prevent costly roof repairs.

Smartseal Roof Coating is water vapour permeable, allowing a roof to 'breathe'. This importantly enables the roof tiles to expel moisture from the inside out. 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 normal.
