Whilst evaluating your roof, we thoroughly examine its structure and condition. However, the most important aspect to consider is the type of tile used. Certain tiles, like slate or clay, have a smooth surface that is well-suited for pressure washing. However, concrete or porous tiles may not fare as well and can be damaged during the cleaning process.
In fact, it’s common where you find the surface of concrete tiles has come off. Leaving them even more porous and negatively impacting the overall appearance of the property.
When someone approaches us for roof cleaning, we always ask them about their goals. Are they looking to restore the entire roof to its original condition or are they primarily concerned with removing moss? If moss is the main issue and the overall appearance of the roof is not a top priority, we recommend a moss removal and biocide treatment. During this process, we use scrapers to carefully remove the moss from the roof tiles, and then apply a biocide product to eliminate any remaining moss or fungi. This treatment helps to keep the roof cleaner for a longer period of time and avoids using a pressure wash. This service is our entry-level option and is the most cost-effective solution.
