Roof Cleaning

We offer an array of services, including exterior cleaning, gutter cleaning, roof moss removal, pressure washing service, and roof cleaning.

When you have a roof, you may not think about it much. You know that it has to be cleaned occasionally, but you don’t really give it much thought until there is a leak or other problem with the roof. Roofs are typically made from materials like tar or shingles, and they should be inspected regularly for any damage. We’re going to talk about everything related to roofs, including what roof cleaning is and how we do it here at Smiths Roof Cleaning in the UK!

Roof cleaning is the process of keeping your roof looking great and staying in good shape. The professional cleaners we send to inspect your roof will use a variety of tools, including high-powered water hoses or powerful vacuums that remove small particles from the shingles on roofs.

Benefits of roof cleaning

Keeping your roof clean will help with several things, including:
Keep the home cool-by using our water hose or utilizing high-powered vacuums to remove dirt and debris from the shingles on roofs, we can reduce roof temperatures!
Improving air quality not only does cleaning your roof improve airflow inside that space (letting in more sunlight), but it also helps filter out pollutants like pollen and pet dander.

Protecting against leaks-this is especially important for flat roofs as they are often susceptible to damage caused by moss growth due to being in constant contact with standing water. Cleaning these types of roofs before any moss grows gives them additional protection against leaks.

Our Roof Cleaning Process

-First, we inspect your roof to identify any damage or moss growth. Once the problem is identified, it can be addressed with a solution tailored for that specific issue, whether that’s applying a sealant or removing the offending layer altogether!

We will then begin cleaning by either using pressure washers to remove loose debris from the shingles on roofs or manually scrubbing away dirt and other pollutants without damaging the underlying materials. With both methods of roof cleaning, our team makes sure to clean all surfaces, including gutters and downspouts, as well as check drainage systems for blockages before leaving. This ensures everything is protected against leaks and there are no surprises when the rain starts falling outside during the rest of your roof’s lifetime!

On top of that, roof cleaning also helps to extend the life of your shingles, which reduces future repair costs.

The next step in our process is applying a protective coating to the cleaned surface, if necessary. This can protect against UV rays as well as prolong the lifespan of any sealant or other products applied earlier during roof cleaning. It might be worth noting that this does not replace waterproof paint; it simply enhances its effects and ensures there are no issues with water penetration at all!

Can I clean my roof myself?

It might be tempting to try cleaning your own roof, but we would strongly discourage you from doing so without any experience in this area. The process of inspecting the surface (to see what is required), applying a sealant if necessary, using an appropriate detergent and water mixture to scrub every inch of it, and finally rinsing off all the dirt can’t really be accomplished by someone who isn’t familiar with these tasks, simply because there are too many risks and it could be dangerous.

So how do you know if your roof needs professional cleaning?

-If there are stains on the topcoat and they go deeper than surface dirt (i.e., tar), then you will have dirty soapy water or black algae issues. This could mean that you need professional roof cleaning services as soon as possible before these problems worsen.

-Are shingles curled up at the corners? You may want our experienced professionals to remove built-up debris from beneath corner flashing where moisture can accumulate over time.

Can roof leaks be caused by roof moss?

Roof leaks can be caused by a number of things, but roof moss is not one of them. Roof moss doesn’t typically cause any harm to roofs, which means that it’s unlikely for the presence of roof moss to lead to leaks.
