Roof Cleaning Ipswich

Your roof plays a vital role in protecting your property and diverting large amounts of rainwater into the guttering system, and like most exterior surfaces is at the mercy of the elements, pollution, dust and debris build-up and this also includes organic infectants such as moss, algae, lichen and black mould. The amount of organic build-up depends on your property's location and which way it faces, you may have seen roofs with lots of moss on them, it acts like a sponge soaking up water which can affect how the roof drains water, during the winter the moss expands and contracts and this can cause damage to the tiles and also mortar. 

Traditional roof cleaning has involved using high-powered pressure washing, whilst this is a popular method and does work it poses some issues as the roof tiles/mortar can become damaged and there's a potential of leaks during the cleaning process and also after, the operative who is cleaning the roof may also be directly on the roof and this is a major health and safety risk to them and yourself as the property owner.

Fortunately, there is a modern roof cleaning method, it's called softwashing and was originally developed in the U.S to clean a variety of roofs without causing any damage. It's suitable for use in the UK and works with many types of roofs. The softwash roof cleaning process is gentle and uses brushes/sprays, and deals with stubborn stains, build-up and targets organic growths such as moss, algae, lichen and black mould etc deep down without damaging the roof. If the roof has a lot of moss then we will first remove this with extendable poles using specialist tile scraping blades, collect it and then vacuum the gutters to ensure there are no blockages, then the softwashing process can begin, after the cleaning process has finished an additional solution can also be applied to give longer-lasting results, this also contines to clean over many weeks after the intial roof cleaning has been completed. 

It's important to clean your roof safely, and depending on the size/height of your property, we may clean the roof from the ground level or use an access tower to work safely during the entire roof cleaning process. We can also clean your gutters, fascia and soffit if requested.
