Roof Cleaning Scotland & Roof Moss Removal Scotland

Roof Cleaning Scotland and Roof Moss Removal Scotland are quite useful services for all property owners. Roof care is required and deserved for all buildings, regardless of their size or character. This is the most effective technique to guarantee that your roof lasts as long as possible while inflicting the least amount of damage to your building and your pocket!

The Importance Of Roof Cleaning And Roof Moss Removal

Have you ever noticed how a dirty roof makes a building look neglected? As the property owner, you may not notice it on your own building, but visitors and potential buyers certainly will. This is why Roof Cleaning Scotland and Roof Moss Removal Scotland are essential services.

Faulty roof tiles that are cracked, loose, or weak will render your building vulnerable. If moisture enters and dampens internal walls, you could have black mould and reduced insulation. These are significant issues that no building owner needs.

Roof Cleaning Scotland is the perfect way to breathe new life into a dirty roof. Roof Moss Removal Scotland cleans all traces of moss, algae and lichen from your tiles. We can apply a top-quality tile sealer to enhance protection against moisture and strengthen the tiles. Further growth of organic matter will be deterred, and the visual appeal of your roof enhanced.

The Process For Roof Cleaning & Roof Moss Removal

1. 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 Scotland 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.
2. The roof cleaning and roof moss removal 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 Scotland 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.
3. 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.
