Kings Pro Clean- Roof Cleaning Banbury Specialists and Exterior Property Maintenance Service

Why should I get my roof cleaned?

Over time, moss grows and can build up. When moss is not managed appropriately, it is not only unsightly but can also create long-term maintenance problems. In most cases, excessive moss coverage will cause premature degradation of your roof tiles and load extra weight onto your gutter systems, which can damage the structural integrity of your roof and result in costly roof repairs.

In the UK and rural Banbury, it is not uncommon for moss coverage (in some cases, a carpet of moss!) to form on roofs in only a few years. Moss coverage creates a microclimate of dense, organic matter on your roof, and as moss is a porous structure with some species having the ability to absorb 18-20% of its own weight, it can have serious consequences for your roof tiles.

When you have moss coverage, your roof is constantly wet. When this moisture goes through the freeze-thaw process, it can cause cracks and damage roof tiles. If left untreated, the moisture may travel through damaged tiles and begin to rot the wooden components of the roof, leading to water intrusion, mould and damp inside your home.

The good news is that we’ve got you covered for safe and effective moss removal with long-term effects at Kings Pro Clean. We provide all customers with a free, bespoke quote to meet the needs of their home, taking into consideration any environmental factors, customer preference, and budget.

What roof-cleaning and moss removal services do you employ?

Roof cleaning service Method one: Complete moss removal scrape and Biocide cleaning treatment application (non-pressure, dry process)

Our fully trained team will begin your rooftop clean using access equipment and roof ladders to gently loosen and remove moss and other debris from the roof. Biocide chemical soft wash is applied to the entire surface area to penetrate the roof tiles, stop germination of any remaining moss spores and inhibit moss regrowth.

Our Biocide solution will do its job over time, lightening and cleaning the roof for up to 18 months, breaking down black biofilm materials, and reactivating with each weather cycle to activate the cleaning process.

This roof cleaning is suitable for all tiled roofs and is the best method and low risk option for older and more delicate roofs- we do not recommend using a pressure washer on delicate roofs.

Roof cleaning service Method two: Steam clean with chemical preventative treatment application (low power steam process- not high pressure washing)

Our low-pressure washing steam cleaning equipment effectively removes all moss, algae, lichen, dirt and bacteria that has accumulated on your roof. After removing moss, we then complete the roof clean in the same way as method one by applying our soft wash chemical solution to ensure the roof continues to clean itself over the coming months. A steam clean may be your preferred option if you seek instant, noticeable results for a house sale or property survey.

As standard, with each roof cleaning job we complete, we will clear out the gutters of roof moss and and remove all moss waste from your home, completely free of charge, keeping your property clean and tidy.

We can provide environmentally friendly moss removal options for customers upon request.

How frequently should you get your roof cleaned?

We recommend that we revisit for a roof cleaning service and retreat the roof every 4-5 years after you have had your roof clean carried out. This will keep moss, algae and lichen at bay and dramatically enhance the appearance of your roof, maintaining its original colour and adding to your property’s kerb appeal.

How can I prepare my property for the roof cleaning process?

In preparation for and following roof cleaning, we recommend that customers implement preventative measures and regular maintenance practices for further protection against moss growth on exterior surfaces and walls.

Banbury roof cleaning customers may wish to consider high pressure cleaning ground level areas such as patio and driveways, improving drainage by cleaning the gutters and trimming vegetation to increase uv light exposure, and inspect roof tiles following harsh weather. Managing exterior property tasks and home improvements will ultimately keep you home in good repair, maintain its value and add to its kerb appeal.

How do you ensure accurate roof cleaning quotations?

Several factors must be considered when we provide Banbury roof cleaning quotes. These factors mean that cost will vary depending on our site visit. Our roof cleaning cost considerations include the type and age of the tile on your roof, any existing moss coverage and moss damage, whether we will need access equipment including our cherry picker, our recommended treatment method of moss removal, and your preferences. To provide standard quotes based only on the square footage of a house or roof does us, and Banbury homeowners a disservice.

As we are a locally based roof cleaning company we always offer Banbury homeowners a free, in-person, no-obligation roof cleaning quote and we can often do this at short notice since we are roof cleaning in Oxfordshire each week and our quote team are out and about locally each day of the week.

If you are home when carry out our site survey, we will keep you fully informed of our findings and recommendations. For Banbury customers who want us to provide a free quote but are not home, we can follow up on the same day and send written quotations via email for our cleaning services.
