Roof Cleaning Services and Moss Removal in Gayton

Only homeowners know how much work one has to do inside and outside to have a pretty tidy home. If dusting and vacuuming is something that all people do, things like washing the driveway or cleaning the gutters are tasks that only homeowners need to manage. However, skipping chores like this will impact the house's condition and structure.

Roof cleaning is also a task that only people living in houses must address. Truth be told, cleaning the roof isn't rocket science. However, it's risky because you must climb the roof and clean it simultaneously.

Stay on the safe side and contact professionals for roof cleaning. Gayton Cleaners is a trustworthy company with roof cleaning services for residential and commercial clients. We use pressure washing to remove moss and lichens and preserve our work with roof priming and sealing. Call us today at 01604 279112.

    one stop for roof cleaning: Gayton Roof Cleaners!

    before and after moss cleaning

    When you need a roof cleaning company in Gayton and neighbouring areas, Gayton Cleaners is one of the best companies to hire. Both residential and commercial buildings need regular roof cleaning to improve the roof and building's appearance. It's no doubt that roof cleaning is mainly aesthetic; a clean roof means that you care about your property. Algae, moss, and lichen make the roof unsightly and alter its structure.

    Typically, a roof's north and west sides don't get much heat and sun. Such shady areas are the perfect environments for soot, biomass, and dirt buildup and make a building absorb less heat.

    Regular roof cleaning reduces the risk of water damage and keeps the gutters and pipes functional. A clean roof requires less repair and the risk of replacement decreases significantly. Please read for further details.

    Gayton Roof Cleaners remove mould, mildew, algae, etc.

    By nature, mildew, algae, debris, dirt, leaves, mould, and stain will collect on a roof. Air pollutants and weather condition also take their toll on the roof and contribute to its degradation. Checking the roof from time to time will help you find early signs of wear and act accordingly.

    The tiles and shingles will suffer damage because of algae. Lichen and black algae make a roof absorb less heat, so your house won't be able to warm and stay warm. If the roof doesn't perform its functions as it should, the heating system will try to overcome and work continuously. If your energy bill is higher than ever, look at your roof. When was the last time you cleaned it?

    It extends the lifespan of the roof

    Cleaning the roof keeps the shingles or tiles in good condition and expands the roof's lifespan. Tiles can suffer damage from algae and moss. For instance, asphalt shingles curl wet because of moss; in inclement weather, they will fall and may hurt you. If you have a clean roof, such issues will not occur anymore.

    It's necessary when you have trees around the house

    Falling branches, leaves, bird droppings, and debris make your roof look unsightly. Additionally, they can all damage the roof's integrity. With roof cleaning services, you can improve the roof's appearance and condition and give your house a fresh feel. Never skip roof cleaning if there are trees near your home. It's an affordable service that spares you of the trouble and spending for roof repairs and, God forbid, roof replacement.

    It improves the curb appeal

    You should consider cleaning the roof if your house looks dull and aged. A clean roof can make your home look nice and attract buyers if you're interested in selling soon. Do it all the way and hire professionals for roof cleaning.

    How Will Your Roof Look after roof cleaning?

    We must highlight the importance of roof cleaning for the roof and the building. Our technicians at Roof Cleaners Gayton will leave your roof and house nice looking by simply removing moss and lichen.

    Professional roof cleaning benefits many levels, but improving the appearance is the most obvious. Even responsible homeowners who mow the lawn regularly or wash the driveways whenever necessary may skip roof cleaning. No matter why your house looks good, you should always include roof cleaning in your tasks list.

    A dirty roof will require more maintenance and repair work. Moss, lichens, and algae that collect on the roof damage the shingles and tiles. If not cleaned, your roof will last a lot less than expected.

    Debris, dirt, moss, and lichen that collect on the roof alter a house's ability to absorb heat. If you don't remove them, the roof will become damp, making the home unable to absorb heat. The heating system will run excessively, the energy bill will increase, and the house's energy efficiency will significantly decrease.

    Contact our team for roof cleaning in Gayton. Our cleaners are knowledgeable, highly skilled, and experts in scraping moss off the roof. Even if it's time-consuming, our technicians will do it as they want to stop organic growth on your roof. We do whatever it takes to prevent moss and lichen spores from growing back and make your roof more attractive than ever.

    Should you clean the roof yourself?

    Professionals agree that exterior house maintenance must include roof cleaning. There's a common misconception that jet washing and high pressures are suitable methods to clean the roof. However, these methods can cause irreparable damage to the roof--we never recommend it! As experienced and knowledgeable technicians, we know which strategies to use to clean the roof without causing any damage. Jet washing and high pressure are never such methods.

    Roof cleaning may not be the most challenging task around the house, but it does imply a good skillset, proper equipment, and vast knowledge of roof cleaning. Unless you're not a professional roof cleaner, you should never embark on such a duty. For affordable roof cleaning services in the Gayton area, Gayton Cleaners is the most trustworthy company to hire.

    Gayton Roof Cleaners have created an effective process for roof cleaning

    If we clean your roof, it will look new for a long time and will not need frequent maintenance. Of course, you can still try and clean the roof. However, you will learn fast that roof cleaning is a job for experienced professionals like us. When you have a team of skilled technicians working on your roof, you can have peace of mind knowing that it's well taken care of. One explanation comes from us following a specific process when cleaning roofs:

    Step 1- examination

    Please get in touch with our team at Roof Cleaners Gayton for roof cleaning services. When you call, one team member can also provide you with a free quotation for the service and schedule a meeting. We're flexible, so feel free to book us whenever works for you best. It's essential to have roof cleaning specialists check out the roof and see if your roof is in much need of repair work or replacement. 

    Don't worry about damaging your landscape while we work on the roof. We always begin with removing the vehicles out of our way; we seek not to alter anything on the property.

    Step 2- we scrape the roof

    Our technicians use ladders and scaffold platforms to reach your roof. We will eliminate all dirt, debris, moss, and residue buildup on the roof with specialized equipment (moss removal tools). It's a productive method and we also have shingle scrapers for various types of shingles.

    We include dirt removal from the gutters with our roof cleaning job. If you'd like, we can save the soil and moss for the mulch in the garden. If not, we can safely take it away from your property.

    Step 3- we use low-pressure steam cleaning

    We recommend our clients steam cleaning of the roof as it has many benefits. We avoid walking on the roof and use a lance or ladders instead. We use the low steam on the pressure washer to leave the roof stain-free. Low-pressure washers are gentle and don't alter the shingles' integrity or the protective layer. This method is highly effective as it removes algae, lichens, and stains from the roof and kills their root systems.

    Step 4- we apply biocide

    Biocide is the most effective substance to kill mildew, moss, mould, fungi, and other organic substances. It's also known as the bio-wash and mould inhibitor because it prevents harmful organics and organic substances from growing. 

    The biocide treatment that our team applies has had results for a long time. The treatment is active for many months and doesn't allow moss and mould to grow. Moreover, the treatment eliminates stubborn stains and works rapidly. On top of everything else, it's really affordable.

    Step 5- clean up

    Roof cleaning can be a messy job. However, our technicians will leave the roof cleaner than ever and the property as it was before.

    How long does it take to clean roof tiles?

    Several factors impact the length of the cleaning process, with size, age, and condition of the roof as the most important ones. For instance, if moss has severely damaged the roof, we will need more time to clean moss than we would with a slightly altered roof. The kind of access we have to the roof tiles will also impact the cleaning process. Our cleaners use extendable poles when cleaning the roof from ground level. If necessary, they will use cherry pickers-- the cleaning process will be long, though.

    Our technicians at Gayton Window Cleaners will need between 1 and 3 days to complete a cleaning job. The clean-up afterwards is, in fact, the most time-consuming part of the process. Our team won't leave the mossy and algae build-up on your property but will take it away. When using the biocide and bleach, they do it carefully, making sure not to cause any pollution. We follow strict safety regulations so that our cleaning process doesn't harm anyone or anything.

    At Gayton Roof Cleaners, we pride ourselves on cleaning the roof fast and efficient because we are experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable. Roof cleaning will be a pleasant experience with us every step.

    Moss doesn't have roots and only needs a damp setting to grow. The small flowerless plants will expand in eco-friendly globs and likes shady areas. Our roof cleaning process is complete and includes moss removal. We recommend moss removal for several reasons:

    Improve Appearance

    Moss makes a roof unsightly and alters your house's appearance as well. Let the team at Roof Cleaning Gayton improve the appearance of your roof and your home. If you want to move house, moss removal is one step to selling high. The process will give the tiles their original look and make your house more appealing to buyers.

    clean lichen free roof tiles vs mossy tiles

    Reduce damage to tiles

    Holes and cracks in the tiles develop due to lichen (white spots). Removing white lichen is a tedious process; you will need to wait a few months until you see the results of chemical treatments. If need be, we will also employ pressure washing to remove it.

    No more moss cleaning

    As moss falls on the driveway or patio, you must sweep them every few days. When there's a lot of moss on the roof, it can fall and make you sweep the driveway daily. Moss may already clog the gutters and cause dampness and drainage issues. Professional moss removal is the best solution to all of these problems.

    Fewer roof repairs

    Roof moss will impede roofers from repairing your roof when necessary. Severe roof problems could be lying under large amounts of moss-- repairs cannot be done without removing moss first.

    As a responsible homeowner, you should include roof cleaning on your to-do list. We don't recommend you do it yourself but hire professionals for it. Contact our team at Gayton Cleaners for further details about our services and rates.

    We leave the roofs clean and in excellent condition as we only use soft washing methods (chemical cleaning) and pressure washing. We choose the cleaning method for your roof depending on its age, condition, level of dirtiness, and budget. When you call us, one of our representatives will give you all the information you need. Since our technicians are in the know about roofs, they will examine the roof before cleaning. If they find issues with the roof, they will inform you and suggest the best approach to solve the problems.

    How much does the roof cleaning service cost?

    The size and condition of the roof make the most critical factors that affect the final cost. When you call us, we can offer an obligation quote and our services come at fair and competitive rates. We can use Google Earth to measure the roof and decide the methods for cleaning.

    Domestic dwellings

    Typically, domestic roof cleaning services range between £450-£1450. Residential roof cleaning jobs are more affordable than commercial roof cleaning.

    Businesses

    Commercial roofs are made with materials that require less time, energy, and work than residential roofs. Contact us for information about our methods and rates. 

    Frequently Asked Questions about Roof Cleaning

    Will the roofer walk around the roof?

    The cleaners at Gayton Window Cleaners use ladders or mobile scaffold platforms so that they no longer need to walk on the roof. Walking on a roof is dangerous for the roof technicians and the roof as it can cause severe damage. Our cleaners use lance technology so that the whole process goes safely and efficiently. We will reach difficult areas such as around the chimney and clean every square foot of the roof.

    What are the black spots on your roof?

    If your roof has black spots, it can actually be Gloeocapsa magma. It's an alga that leads to permanent damage as it feeds on shingle materials (all sorts). The unsightly look of the roof is just one effect of the black organic substance. The stain also makes the roof reflect heat and decreases the house's ability to stay warm. You will start using the heater more frequently, so your energy bills keep increasing every month.

    Gayton Roof Cleaners has a team of experienced technicians who can efficiently remove the black spots from any roof. When they're done, the roof will be black, spot-free and won't get stains soon.

    Can roof cleaning damage the roof?

    Our technicians at Gayton Roof Cleaners don't leave any stone unturned when it comes to roof cleaning. We are fully insured, highly qualified, and experts in roof cleaning Gayton. We obtain the best cleaning results with each roof as we know which methods and solutions will be the most appropriate.
