Roof cleaning:

Prior to any work commencing, our Installation Manager will carry out a full risk assesment. This also includes calculating the area and identifying any repairs and any tiles which need replacing. We can then begin cleaning your roof.

Your existing roof tiles will be cleaned thoroughly using our specialist high pressure cleaning equipment. All traces of moss, algae and surface dirt is removed by washing away the top layer of the roof tiles.

During this process we will lay tarpaulin around your property to ensure minimal disruption.

Next we check and repair your roof including the replacement of all missing, broken or damaged tiles or slates and carry out any repairs or replacement of flashing's, valleys, lead works, etc. Repointing and rebedding of ridge tiles, bonnets, chimney stacks and all cement works.

All this work is carried out as necessary and is included in the price we quote you.

Next, we spray the roof with biocide fungal wash.

This kills the moss, lichen and mould and prevents re-growth under the coating. The biocide is applied using a low pressure lance which ensures all tiles are fully treated.

Once the roof has dried, we apply 2 coats of a unique micro-porus UV stabilised coating.

This coating is a clear coating to keep you tiles looking natural and completely transforms the appearance of your roof.

The coating also makes the roof completely waterproof and creates reduction in heat loss through your roof. This in turn, helps regulate the temperature of the property all year round and saving money on your heating cost's as much as upto 25%.

Mosses, lichen and algae have now become a major maintenance headache throughout the UK.

These external growths destroy decorative coatings and if left untreated will rapidly ruin subsequent coatings. They will also dramatically reduce the life expectancy of waterproofing compounds.

Mosses, lichen and algae disfigure facing bricks and are a contributory factor to spalling of brickwork and concrete. In addition they cause erosion of the mortar joints. Like all plant life, they hold and attract moisture, storing it within the brickwork or surface on which they are growing, giving rise to problems of water penetration.

The fabric is further degraded by the excretion of acid.

Surface treatment by washing alone are ineffectual against such tenacious problems since they only remove the visible surface growth. They leave behind the roots within the fabric. These roots will re germinate and grow within a matter of months. For effective moss lichen's and algae removal Advantages roof cleaning Process will eliminate these problems as well as seal and insulate your roof.

We guarantee no regrowth for a full ten years.
