Moss, algae or lichen on your London or Surrey roof is not ideal. Did you know these 3 organic growths if left can cause damage to your roof.
Moss usually acts like a sponge and will absorb water and moisture resulting in your roof being constantly damp. If the moisture travels under the roof tiles it could rot the timber parts of the roof, threatening structurally and leaving your roof vulnerable which would lead to costly repairs.
Moss lichen & algae should be removed from your roof to avoid possible water ingress to the roof-space.
The most important thing to remember is that we DO NOT jet wash or pressure wash your roof tiles. This can remove the surface / finish from the tiles and cause all kinds of leaks and damage.
We can easily remove Moss, Algae and Lichen from your roof leaving you with a clean roof.
Depending on location and space on your drive some roofs can be cleaned from the ground using long telescopic poles other options are a scaffold, scaffold tower or cherry picker.
Once we are at a working level we scrape and brush all moss from the roof and also clearing gutters the gutters. Next we apply a biocide, environmentally friendly softwash application on to the roof. The application can ONLY be applied when the roof is dry. It’s fine if it rains afterwards.
Once the roof is treated you should see a difference on concrete tiles after 2-3 weeks on a normal weather regime, ie sun and rain. The sun breaks down the moss, algae and lichen and the rain washes it off. Usually you will see around 60 percent of the result after 3 months and after 6 months it will be nearly complete. After 1 year it will look like a new roof.
Our application will not change the colour of the roof tiles, but will bring them back to the original colour like new.
