Roof Cleaning Colchester

Why have my roof cleaned?

Having your roof cleaned is a home maintenance task that often gets put back to the bottom of your list.  There’s many reasons for this, it’s often completely overlooked as it’s not always considered something that needs doing.  However, a build-up of moss and other dirt on your roof tiles is not only unsightly but can also cause issues with gutters blocking.
As the moss dies off in summer heat, it will usually dislodge and fall down the roof.  Most commonly it’ll find its way into the gutters and sign that this is happening is when you see clumps of moss on the ground too.  When it reaches your gutters it’ll at very least make them less effective for rainwater draining, worst case scenario the gutters and downpipes will become blocked and require gutter clearing.

There is also the possibility of gulley’s on the roof blocking and causing water ingress which can be a costly problem to resolve.  Having your roof cleaned proactively is by far the most cost effective way of ensuring your roof stays in good condition and you’re not met with big bills in the future.
