Keeping Reading Roofs Clean & Free From Moss
If your Reading roof is looking a bit weathered and starting to resemble an untidy lawn in places, then chances are you have a moss or lichen problem. You may think that this is not an issue, after all it is only attached to the roofing materials such as the slates. But this is not actually the case.
Roof tiles, and especially your ridge tiles, become porous as a result of moss growth. This can result in rainwater penetrating your Reading loft or roofing space. Combined with the freezing winter temperatures around Reading (and other seasons due to the unreliable UK weather), tiles can often be damaged beyond repair, resulting in large bills to get these repaired or replaced.
Reading Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal Professionals
APS Roofing Services fully cleans roofs, ensuring all moss and loose debris is removed. We remove all moss, lichen and unsightly growth restoring your Reading roofing.
In summary cleaning your Reading roof has many benefits:
- A roof that looks like new is aesthetically pleasing and it can add value to your home
- A clean and newly sealed roof protects the tiles or slates from the rain, frost and future damage
- A newly sealed roof will ensure that your inner structure is protected.
- A roof that is cleaned and sealed by A.P.S will look like a new roof, only it will have cost you just a fraction of the price.
Reading Roof Cleaning
If you are looking to have your Reading roof cleaned, we firstly need to determine what is the cause of the dirt and discolouring.
The most common cause for a dirty roof is moss build up. This includes things like lichens and other live growths that will block gutters and cause mess.
If you have a moss-covered roof, this is how APS Roofing Services will tackle it:
- We will remove the moss by hand, scraping it off the tiles or slates
- We will then sweep over the tiles to ensure that all moss residue captured
- Once moss free we will perform a roof inspection, making sure that all the current tiles are in good condition
- If any poor condition tiles are found, being professional Reading roofers, we will replace them
- We will also inspect the cement that is present in the joins - there is no point in us cleaning if we end up causing damage with our power washer
- We clear out the debris from the gutters and we then apply a moss treatment that assures it does not grow back
Reading Roof Sealing
It is recommended that, once cleaned, a new layer of sealer is applied. Whenever we clean a roof, we always do this as standard.
The coating or sealer that we apply to clean roofs will ensure your tiles is ready to face the elements. This, combined with the moss treatment, means your roof stays cleaner longer.
How we apply our Roof Sealer:
- Upon completion of jet cleaning your roof we then need to wait for it to dry
- Whilst this is happening, we cover surrounding area with plastic sheets
- We give the roof a final brush over to get rid of any loose debris
- We apply translucent sealant to the roof edges by hand
- We then apply the coating/sealant by sprayer to all remaining areas of the roof, ensuring each tile is covered
- To ensure that the job is done correctly, we allow the initial coat to dry and then apply a second coat
- Remove plastic sheeting from the surrounding areas and leave you with a roof that looks like new
