Roof cleaning from experienced specialists
Based in Shepherds Bush, the experienced Kinson & Birch team provide roof cleaning services for all types of roofs, serving residential and commercial customers across London and the Home Counties.
Not only will roof cleaning improve the look of your roof, but it will also enhance its lifespan by removing harmful deposits and vegetation that can lead to damage.
Cleaning – essential roof maintenance
Roof cleaning alongside other maintenance activities - such as moss clearing and the cleaning of gutter, soffits and fascias - will make a huge difference to the external appearance of your property. Roofs are a significant architectural element of any building, and a well-cared for roof can add to the value of your property and even help to improve its saleability.
The roof cleaning method we use will depend on various factors, such as how long since it was last cleaned, the types of deposit on the roof, the structure of the roof, and its overall condition. Power washing or specialist rotary cleaners are options, but often the best method is specialist cleaning products, alongside good old hard work with broom and brush.
Why does a dirty roof matter
Beyond the obvious visual benefits of a clean roof, preventative maintenance of this type can significantly reduce the likelihood of the need for roof repairs or replacement. Issues can include:
- Algae builds up as black sludge, spoiling the look of your roof and causing damage
- Air pollution particles caused by burning fossil fuels can contain sulphuric acid
- Bird droppings are unsightly and contain uric acid
- Debris such as twigs and leaves work their way under tiles and cause them to lift
- Mould and mildew can cause health and allergy issues
