Professional roof cleaning is a vital maintenance process designed to protect your home from the unique coastal and environmental challenges of the South Coast. In Poole and Dorset, properties are particularly susceptible to moisture heavy moss, crusty lichen, and black algae.
If left untreated, these organic growths do more than just spoil your home’s appearance:
Structural Integrity: Heavy, wet moss acts like a “sponge,” adding significant weight and stress to your roof structure.
Tile Damage: Moss absorbs water which then freezes and expands during winter, leading to cracked, brittle, or broken tiles.
Internal Damp: Overgrown moss often dislodges tiles and blocks gutters, causing water to pool and eventually penetrate the roof space, leading to internal damp and rot.
Energy Efficiency: Damp roof tiles are less effective at insulating your home, often leading to higher heating bills due to increased heat transference.
The Specialist Restoration Approach
True roof restoration in Poole isn’t just about a quick wash. It is a precision process that prioritizes the structural integrity of your home through our strict “No Foot on Tile” policy.
Specialist Moss Scraping: We begin by removing heavy moss infestations using telescopic scrapers. By working from the ground or towers, we ensure a “no-walk” zone on your roof, eliminating the risk of cracked or broken tiles caused by foot traffic.
Low Pressure Steam Cleaning: We utilise specialist low-pressure steam to gently lift away remaining dirt, algae, and lichen. This is significantly safer than high-pressure jet washing, as the steam temperature does the work without stripping the protective “sandy” layer from your tiles.
Professional Biocide Treatment: Once the surface is clean, we apply an industry approved, professional grade biocide. This deep penetrating solution kills moss spores and lichen at the root, ensuring your roof stays cleaner for significantly longer than standard cleaning methods.
