Roof cleaning in Brackley, Northamptonshire

FAQs about roof cleaning

Roof cleaning can be something that gets overlooked by many homeowners, but nevertheless, it’s something that’s very important. Here are some of the questions that the Jet Flo Pro team are often asked about our roof cleaning service.

Do I really need to clean my roof?

If you take a look around the roofs in your neighbourhood, you’ll probably notice that some of them are covered with algae and moss which makes them look unsightly. Those growths don’t just look unattractive, they can also cause damage to the roof as time goes on. Moss acts in a similar way to a sponge since it soaks up rainwater and moisture from the air.

During the winter, the moss can freeze and it then expands, leading to cracking in the pointing and lifting up of the tiles. Moss can even eat into the roof tiles so that the surface can become defaced. Needless to say, these problems can be costly to rectify, so you can save yourself money while ensuring your home looks its best by having regular roof cleaning carried out.

How is a roof cleaned?

Pressure washing is the best method of roof cleaning. It can be done by using roofing ladders and rope access, a cherry picker (or MEWP) or even telescopic lances and a portable scaffolding tower.

How often should roof cleaning be carried out?

The length of time between roof cleans will depend on the location of your property since rural homes will usually show regrowth signs more quickly than town houses. On average, roofs should be cleaned between every 3 to 5 years although this will depend on your environment.

Will roof cleaning damage your roof?

Many people ask whether roof cleaning will be damaging to their roof since they are under the impression that it can remove protective coatings from the tiles. In fact, this is certainly not the case. As long as the right techniques and equipment are used, no damage will be caused to a roof. This is the reason why a professional company should be employed to do this job.
