Soft Wash Roof Cleaning in Birmingham
Roof Moss Removal / Soft Wash Roof Cleaning in BirminghamBright Roof are a specialist Roof Cleaning company in the West Midlands covering Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Great Barr, Edgbaston and surrounding areas. Don't let moss growth catch you out and cost you a fortune! Moss is a plant that grows naturally on more or less any surface, including roofs. It produces tiny spores that become air-borne and land on their targeting surface. During the cool and moist months, these spores grow into moss, which soaks up the water like a sponge preventing it from running off the roof and into the gutters, therefore sitting on your roof, against your tiles resulting in damage to your home and roof both internally and externally. |

We restore many moss covered roofs back to their former glory both cosmetically and functionally.
The cost of roof cleaning is considerably cheaper than replacing your roof, which will be needed if you ignore moss, algae and lichen growth.
When moss grows on a roof surface you will find it will be more severe on the areas of the roof that are shaded and exposed to periodically damp cool weather conditions.
When shade and cool moist conditions combine, moss, algae and lichens grow much faster.
If moss is sat on a roof over a period of time it will be absorbing moisture, when the really cold months hit, the moisture will expand and freeze which will then crack roof tiles as it shrinks back down when it thaws out again.
Moss is much more than just a cosmetic issue, don't leave it.

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.

THE PROCESS -
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.
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
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.
All debris will be removed from your property, leaving it clean, fresh and spotless.
All our experienced staff are trained, qualified and insured to be working at height.
Not only will soft washing clean and restore your roof without the worry of any damage occurring but it will also protect the roof from any regrowth for many months / years to come.

Myth
Roof cleaning is an easy DIY project that any homeowner can do in an afternoon
There’s nothing easy or quick about roof cleaning. In fact, there are many things to take into consideration when planning a roof clean and carrying a roof clean out. We would simply say, leave it to the professionals that have the equipment and experience to clean your roof in a few hours rather than you spending an entire weekend doing it yourself and risking your life.
