    one stop for roof cleaning: Burton Latimer Roof Cleaners!

    before and after moss cleaning

    Burton Latimer Window Cleaners is the go-to roof cleaning company for many clients in Burton Latimer and surrounding areas. Regardless of the building's type, size, or age, it needs roof cleaning from time to time. Such cleaning has several benefits, but improving a building's appearance is the most obvious. Moss, lichen, mould, and algae make a roof look unattractive and alter its structure.

    The west and north sides of a roof don't get much sun and heat. As a result, dirt, soot, and biomass will thrive in these areas and alter a house's ability to absorb the sun's heat. Professionals will remove biomass, soot, and dirt to improve the house's energy efficiency.

    Roof cleaning will reduce the risk of water damage. When the roof is clean, pipes and gutters get cleaned too and work as expected. They help the roof do its job and protect a house's condition and structure.

    Burton Latimer Roof Cleaners remove mould, mildew, algae, etc.

    Naturally, debris, mildew, mould, stains, algae, moss, and leaves collect up on the roof. Air pollutants and weather impact the roof and alter its ability to protect the house. We recommend you check out the roof from time to time and see how its condition and appearance.

    Algae make tiles and shingles less effective; a roof with lichen and black algae will lose its ability to heat or cool the house underneath. We can say that lichen and black algae eventually alter a house's energy efficiency. If the roof has a poor protective ability, the heating system will struggle to keep the house warm. If your energy bills keep getting higher and higher, the roof could be the culprit.

    It extends the lifespan of the roof

    If the roof is clean, its shingles and other materials will be protected too. Moss and algae can alter roof tile materials. For example, moss makes the asphalt shingles curl wet and may fall during a windy day. Missing shingles is terrible for the roof and can cause unpleasant incidents and accidents when falling. Protect your family and property and hire professionals for regular roof cleaning.

    It's necessary when you have trees around the house

    Bird droppings, falling branches and leaves, and debris can alter the roof's appearance and integrity. Roof cleaning instantly revitalises the looks of your home. It's much needed when you have trees surrounding your property. It's also more affordable than repairs and replacing the roof that will be necessary when not cleaned accordingly.

    It improves the curb appeal

    You don't need to sell to want your house to look nice. A clean roof makes an excellent impression on guests, friends, and neighbours. It can definitely attract potential buyers if you plan to sell. A clean roof may help you get a better price for your property!

    How Will Your Roof Look after roof cleaning?

    Cleaning the roof is good for your roof and for your entire house's appearance. After our team at Roof Cleaners Burton Latimer removes moss and lichen, the house will look impeccable and attractive again.

    The most crucial benefit of roof professional service and cleaning is cosmetic. You often jet wash your driveways, wash the windows, mow the lawn, but forget that roof needs proper TLC as well. No matter if you plan to sell your house soon or you want to make it looks its best, roof cleaning should be on your to-do list.

    On top of everything else, cleaning the roof will expand its durability. Moss, lichen, dirt, and other debris can collect on shady areas which reduces the amount of heat that the house can absorb. When you skip cleaning, the roof will cause dampness, which decreases the house's energy efficiency and increases the heating bills.

    Our Burton Latimer team can leave the roof spotless and attractive as new. You will be able to see the initial colour of the roof tiles after we clean them. Even if a house is old, a professionally cleaned roof will improve its curb appeal and extend its durability.

    If you need roof cleaning in Burton Latimer, we are happy to help. All of our roof cleaners are professionally trained and highly skilled. They are detail-oriented--it's a crucial skill for scraping roof moss. Our technicians will eliminate moss and lichen spores and stop their regrowth. Let our team make your roof look its best again with roof cleaning. 

    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 Burton Latimer area, Burton Latimer Cleaners is the most trustworthy company to hire.

    Burton Latimer 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 Window Cleaners Burton Latimer 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 Burton Latimer 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 Burton Latimer 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.

    Contact Burton Latimer Roof Cleaners for moss removal

    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 Burton Latimer 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 Burton Latimer 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 final price for roof cleaning services depends on the roof's age, size, and level of dirtiness. The complexity of the cleaning process will weigh in too. When you contact us, we can provide you with a quote for our roof cleaning service. We examine the roof with Google Earth to get the best cleaning results. It gives us accurate roof dimensions and tells us about the roof's condition.

    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?

    Our technicians use ladders or mobile scaffold platforms to avoid walking on the roof. Walking on the roof can cause accidents and permanent damage to the roof. Our technicians at Burton Latimer Window Cleaners employ lance technology so that they never walk on the roof. We know how to access the tricky areas (around the chimney) and leave every square foot of the roof spotless.

    What are the black spots on your roof?

    Commonly, Gloeocapsa magma is what causes the black spots on your roof. It's a black organic substance that feeds on shingle materials and causes permanent damage to the roof. The algae make the roof reflect the sun's heat and not absorb it, so the house no longer gets warm. The heating system will work more frequently and lead to enormous energy bills.

    The team at Burton Latimer Roof Cleaners removes the black spots from the roof and leaves the roof cleaner than ever.

    The cleaners at Burton Latimer Roof Cleaners have an excellent reputation. Most will mention our name when you ask your friends about roof cleaning Burton Latimer. We carefully select our cleaning methods and solutions so that we clean roofs without damaging them. It's what we know best.
