Are There Any Risks to Roof Cleaning & Is It Worth It?
Roofing work, even for a seemingly simple task like roof cleaning, carries inherent but often overlooked risks. Despite the complexities involved, we are committed to maintaining simplicity and efficiency in our methods. Our approach is consistent, reliable, and refined through extensive experience.
At British Roof Cleaning, we believe that a clean roof is a healthy roof. Moss removal is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of roof maintenance. Keeping your roof clear is essential for preventing more significant and costly repair work down the line. Moss accumulation on roof tiles can wreak havoc on your property in several ways. For instance, untreated moss may:
- Fall into gutters, causing blockages and overflows during rainy seasons
- Repeatedly clog gutters, leading to more severe drainage issues
- Creep between roof tiles, lifting or cracking them
- Accelerate roof tile degradation, which can damage the internal roof structure (e.g., rainwater rotting the roof battens)
- Cause dampness inside the building, often manifesting in areas like upstairs landings, bathrooms, and bedrooms
Beyond structural damage, moss can also be a persistent nuisance. Many of our older customers express frustration at having to repeatedly bend down to clear fallen moss from their patios and walkways.
Additionally, moss is unsightly and may deter potential buyers if you’re planning to sell your home. Surveyors frequently recommend moss removal in home buyer reports. It’s also worth noting that most insurance policies, to our knowledge, do not cover damage resulting from moss accumulation.
