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

Do I need a moss removal service?

Over time, roof moss grows and can build up. When roof moss is not managed appropriately, it is not only dirty and unsightly but can also create long-term problems for your roof tiles. In most cases, without a professional moss removal service, excessive roof moss 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 and roof tile replacements.

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

When you have roof moss coverage, your roof is constantly wet. When this moisture goes through the freeze-thaw process, it will expand and cause cracks and damage roof tiles. If left untreated, the moisture and damp from the roof moss may travel through damaged tiles and begin to rot the wooden components of the roof structure, and lead to leaks, mould and damp inside your building.

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 free quotes, remove roof moss and provide a moss removal service to our south Warwickshire customers.

What roof cleaning process do you employ?

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

Our team will service your roof using high-reach poles and scrapers to access and gently loosen and remove all roof moss and organic matter from the tiles. Biocide chemical soft wash is applied to the entire surface area which will clean the surface of grime, black spot, algae, and other organic matter covered on the roof. The biocide chemical will penetrate the roof tiles, stop germination of any remaining roof moss spores and inhibit moss regrowth on the tiles. Our roof coating Biocide solution will work over time, lightening and cleaning the roof tiles for up to 18 months, breaking down black spot biofilm and algae materials, and reactivating each weather cycle to activate the cleaning process. This roof cleaning process is a safe method for older and delicate roofs.

Roof cleaning process two: Steam clean with chemical preventative treatment application (low power steam process)

Our low-pressure steam cleaning equipment effectively removes all roof moss, algae, lichen, dirt and bacteria that has accumulated on your roof tiles. Once all moss has been removed, the team complete the roof clean in the same way as method one by applying our soft wash chemical solution to the roof tiles to ensure the roof continues to clean itself over the coming months. A steam clean does come with a slightly increased cost but may be a suitable option for roof moss removal for Warwickshire properties if customers are seeking an instantly clean roof for a sale, or if your roof tiles have noticeable dirt and grime from atmospheric pollution and other elements such as carbon staining.

As standard, with each roof clean we complete, we provide a roof moss removal service where we will clear out the gutters of roof moss and debris and remove all roof moss waste from your property, completely free of charge.

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

How frequently should you have a roof cleaning service?

We recommend Warwickshire customers arrange our moss removal service every 4-5 years after your initial roof cleaning job is carried out. This will keep roof moss at bay, limiting the potential for large scale repairs and replacements and dramatically enhance the appearance of your roof, adding to its curb appeal and adding value to your home.

How should I prepare for getting my roof cleaned?

In preparation for and following a professional roof cleaning, we recommend that customers recognise the importance of preventative measures and regular maintenance practices for further protection against algae and moss growth on the exterior surfaces of your property. These measures may include improving drainage by cleaning gutters and trimming vegetation, removing loose leaves to increase sunlight exposure, and inspect roof tiles following harsh weather. Managing exterior property tasks 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 in Warwickshire?

Our moss removal service and roof cleaning cost vary depending on many factors including the type of tiles on your roof, environmental factors such as shading and exposure to sunlight, any existing roof moss coverage, dirt and grime lichen and algae and moss damage, our recommended method of moss removal, and your preferences and expectations.
