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

Why should I get my roof cleaned?

Over time, moss grows and can build up. It is essential to professionally manage roof moss and moss growth as it is not only unsightly, but can also lead to long-term problems. 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 lead to costly roof repairs.

In the UK, roof moss will form on roofs in only a few years. A moss coating on your roof creates a microclimate of algae and organic matter, 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.

When you have roof moss coverage, your roof is constantly wet. When this trapped moisture goes through the freeze-thaw process, it can cause cracks within the roof tile. If left untreated, the moisture may travel through the roofing material and begin to rot the wooden components of the roof, leading to leaks, mould and damp inside your home.

The good news is that we’ve got you covered for safe and effective roof moss removal and roof cleaning with long-term effects at Kings Pro Clean.

What roof-cleaning service do you employ?

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

Our team will manage moss removal on your home using high-reach poles and scrapers to gently loosen and remove dry or wet roof moss from the roof tile. Biocide chemical soft washing solution is applied to all aspects of the surface area to penetrate the roof tiles, stop germination of any remaining spores and inhibit roof moss regrowth. Our Biocide solution will work over time, lightening the roof for up to 18 months, breaking down black biofilm materials, and reactivating each weather cycle to activate the cleaning process. Many roofs are unsuitable for pressure washing so our dry moss removal method is a safe and effective solution for even the oldest and most delicate roofs in Cheltenham.

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

Our low-pressure, high temperature steam cleaning machines will expertly remove expertly tackle moss removal and rid the roof of algae, lichen, dirt and bacteria that has accumulated on your roof. We complete the second stage of the roof cleaning in the same way as method one, by applying our soft wash chemical solution to the tiles to ensure the roof continues to clean itself over the coming months for further protection against grime, algae and organic regrowth. A steam clean may be a suitable option for moss removal in Cheltenham if customers seek instant, noticeable results, or your roof tiles have noticeable dirt and grime from atmospheric pollution such as carbon staining.

Included with each roof clean, we clear out the gutters of roof moss and debris and remove all moss waste from your property, completely free of charge.

We will provide environmentally friendly options for customers upon request.

How often should you get your roof cleaned?

We recommend that we retreat the roof every 4-5 years after your initial roof clean. As a Gloucestershire based company, we are never far away from Cheltenham and its local districts, if you’d like us to view the roof to advise when a further roof clean is required, simply get in touch with us and we will be happy to stop by.

What are the benefits of getting my roof cleaned regularly?

We recommend that homeowners adopt preventative measures and regular building upkeep practices to protect you home from excessive algae, lichen and moss growth on exterior surfaces. These measures may include improving drainage such as gutter clearance and trimming vegetation to increase sunlight exposure. Routine care and attention will keep your home safe and your pockets full for a lot longer and can prevent costly repairs in the long run.

How do you ensure accurate roof cleaning and roof moss removal quotations?

There are several factors to consider when accurately quoting for roof cleaning services. These factors can include the type and age of tile on your roof, environmental factors such as shading, sunlight exposure and any existing moss coverage and moss damage, our recommended method of moss removal, and your preferences and cost expectations.

For these reasons, it is difficult to provide Cheltenham homeowners and commercial customers with a quote without seeing the roof for ourselves. We offer all customers an in-person, no-obligation roof cleaning quote, that meet the needs of your property.

It is not essential that you are home when we view your roof but if you are in when we visit for our assessment, we will give you our quote and recommendations at the same time.
