Importance of Roof Cleaning:
Regular roof cleaning is an essential aspect of home maintenance, yet it is often overlooked. Here are some key reasons why you should prioritize roof cleaning:
- Enhanced Curb Appeal: A clean and well-maintained roof can significantly improve your home’s exterior aesthetics. It creates a positive first impression and enhances the overall curb appeal of your property.
- Prolonged Roof Lifespan: Over time, moss, algae, and debris can accumulate on your roof, leading to potential damage. If left untreated, this buildup can cause structural issues and reduce the lifespan of your roof. Regular cleaning helps extend its longevity.
- Preventing Damage: Moss and algae growth can lead to moisture retention, which can seep into the roof’s surface and cause decay or leaks. Regular cleaning prevents these issues and ensures your roof remains in optimal condition.
- Energy Efficiency: A dirty roof can absorb more heat, increasing the temperature inside your home and putting a strain on your cooling system. Clean roofs reflect sunlight, leading to better energy efficiency and reduced utility costs.

Roof Tile Cleaning & Moss Removal
for Leicester
Is Roof Moss dropping on your paths, patio or drive?
Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal
When roof moss begins to build up on your roof – the tell tale signs is lumps of moss falling down and landing on your paths, patios or drive ways. This looks unsightly, but more importantly it needs proper attention – as the moss will fall from your roof and block up your roof line gutters. When these are blocked, roof water – when it rains is prevented from draining correctly. If your gutters get blocked up with moss, then water can overflow down your property walls causing damp, damaged brickwork and a whole host of other problems. Therefore urgent attention is required.
Why does moss grow on your roof?
Moss is a form of plant. It’s seeds or spores are carried in the air. These can be sent up into the air by grass cutting, trees and transferred by animals. These moss spores enjoy shaded, damp areas to laydown roots and grow. The dust particles on your roof and abundant moisture from the rain allows for an ideal enviroment to grow and spread on the roof tiles. North facing roofs are often ideal locations for moss to form. Once clumps start to form, these can quickly grow outwards forming a thick carpet of green foliage. Moss can take on up to 20x its own weight of water. Therefore – this tendancy to absorb water causes a problem. Why? Well, as it takes on water – in winter time this can freeze over night and expand. As it grows tightly around roof tiles, filling in between gaps and growing through the roof tile spaces – when this freezes it can cause roof tiles to get damaged over time. It also prevents water from freely running and draining away. Other biofilms can also begin to grow on your roof tiles. Such things as moulds, lichens and other forms. These can take the form of white patches or circles of yellow and orange forming on your roof tiles. These look unsightly and can detract from the aesthetic of your house or commercial property.
Moss Removal, Lichen Removal – Roof Tile Cleaning
As Moss is a form of weed it can either be manually removed by scraping it from the roof tile or killed off using a chemical. This special weed killing chemical is called a Biocide. This chemical is sprayed onto the roof surface by using special equipment. Once it is absorbed by the moss & lichen – the roots are killed and so are all remaining moss spores. This then gradually breaks down, disintergrates and flakes up and blows away in the wind. To get the best of both worlds, we clean roofs by using a combination of the two techniques. We firstly mechanically scrape the roof tiles to remove the large build up of moss clumps. We then apply the liquid weed killer or Biocide to finish off the cleaning job. Usually the chemical kills the moss off in about 1-2 weeks. The full roof cleaning effect can take anywhere between 6-12 months to fully complete. However, initial roof cleaning results will be easy to see within a few weeks of completion.
Removing traffic film & dirt from the roof
Roofs quickly become dirty by the build up of dirt and dust carried in the air and also the rain that falls from the sky. In big Cities like Leicester, where there is a large amount of busy road traffic – this is increased by the level of soot particles emitted from diesel engines. Over time your roof can start to look very dirty indeed. We can clean this away using special roof cleaning chemicals. These have powerful, deep cleaning properties & penetration – quickly removing the layers of built up dirt and grime. These chemicals have foaming agents, which increase the ‘dwell’ time or contact time with the roof tiles on the roof. After rinsing, those layers of dirt are released and cleared away. All debris is then vacuumed out of the gutters and removed from the property.
Sealing & Roof tile Treatments
After cleaning your roof of moss, lichen & dirt – it is adviseable to treat and seal the roof tiles. Over time the original water proof protective coatings degrade. This means water can be absorbed as opposed to being repelled from the roof tile. Special water repellant coatings can be applied to the tile surface to give your roof the protection it deserves. This will also enable it to stay looking cleaner for longer. If this is something you are interested in – contact us for more details.
