🏠 Roof cleaning Option 1: Soft Wash Moss Removal 🏠

Roof Moss Removal / Soft Wash Roof Cleaning in Wolverhampton

Bright Roof are a specialist Roof Cleaning company covering all areas of Wolverhampton and surrounding areas.

Living in a country where we get plenty of rain followed by sunshine in summer months we are creating the ideal habitat for moss and algae to grow, imagine a giant sponge on your roof soaking up all of the rainfall...

Well this is exactly what moss does, it acts as a sponge, absorbing all water. In winter months, the water will freeze causing it to expand and then thaw back to water again, as the water expands it cracks the tiles and pulls them apart, this will cause leakages within your Wolverhampton home and over time will rot your roof.

Leaving a roof that is covered in such growths can result in costly repairs in the future, don't let it get to that, if you find your roof is covered in moss or moss is starting to build up, we urge you to get the professionals in to clean it.

There are several different methods used when cleaning a roof, we are going to go into a little more detail with the roof moss removal method.

Unlike pressure washing a roof, the Soft wash process is a non pressure roof cleaning method with the application of treatments to kill any moss, algae, fungi and lichens which seep into the organic growths and kill from within without needed the brute force of a pressure washer to remove. That is not to say a pressure washer doesn't have its place in the exterior cleaning sector and in some cases is needed.

Firstly, we would carry out a visual roof survey to identify the contaminates growing on your home roof and undertake a risk assessment to ensure all health and safety is applied by.

THE PROCESS -

1. If moss is needed to be removed we would cover areas around the roof with suitable covering/tarpaulin ready for the moss removing process, then start to remove the deposits of moss manually using extendable hand held tools.

2. Once we are satisfied the bulk of the moss has been removed manually, we would then apply the soft wash treatment to the tiles using our specialist soft wash equipment, this is when the soft wash gets to work and starts to kill any remaining moss, algae and lichens that are still on the roof. The amount of treatment applied depends on the roofs contamination of moss, algae and other fungi’s

3. When we have completed the roof clean, we then clear out the gutters removing all remaining debris that may have fallen when cleaning the roof.

4. All of our staff are fully trained, highly qualified and insured to be working at height.
Soft washing your roof will restore it and help protect it from regrowth of moss in future months / years.Once the roof clean is completed, we would then wash down the walls and windows of the property, if there is a conservatory, we would ensure there is no debris remaining on there and would clean the grounds and surrounding areas of the property. Our team will also empty any debris that may have fallen into the gutters.

5. All debris will be removed from your property, leaving it clean, fresh and spotless.

Maybe moss has become an issue for you, moss acts like a sponge on your roof absorbing moisture and rainwater,

over time this can lead to damp issues within the home, cracked roof tiles and or rotting to the roof structure due to the fact that moss absorbs water, the places it sits on the roof will have a reduced life span in comparison to the areas that are moss free.

Ignoring it won't solve it.

To make that worse, when the gutters are full of moss, which over time drops off the roof surface and into the gutters they are then restricted and unable to do their job in draining the water off of the roof tiles and away from the property..
