Kings Pro Clean- Roof Cleaning Worcester 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, not only is it unsightly but it will also damage your roof tile. Without employing professional moss removal, 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 and roof tile repairs.

In the UK and rural Worcestershire, it is not uncommon for moss coverage (in some cases, a carpet of moss!) to form on roof tiles in only a few years. Moss coverage creates a microclimate of dense, organic matter on your roof, making it the perfect environment for dirt, debris algae and even little critters. As roof moss is a porous structure with some species having the ability to absorb 18-20% of its own weight, moss 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 within the moss may travel through damaged tiles and begin to rot the wooden components of the roof, leading to leaks, mould and damp inside your home.

Do I really need a professional service to have my roof cleaned?

We would always recommend Worcestershire homeowners employ a professional roof cleaning company like Kings Pro Clean for a moss removal roof cleaning service. You may be tempted by jet washing the roof moss away but this can be unsafe for you and your roof without adequate training and access equipment. Our professional roof cleaning service will ensure moss removal is carried out to the highest standard, using industry leading equipment and quality soft wash treatment applications so you will always receive a great service from us and a quality roof clean. Our safe and effective moss removal service has long-term benefits for your property and your finances.

What roof cleaning and roof moss removal processes do you employ?

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

Our team will service your property using high-reach poles and access equipment to gently loosen and remove dry or wet moss from the roof tiles. Biocide soft wash treatment is applied to the entire surface area to penetrate the roof tiles, stop germination of any remaining spores and inhibit moss regrowth. Our roof coating Biocide soft wash will work over time, lightening and cleaning the roof for up to 18 months, breaking down black spot, biofilm materials, and reactivating each weather cycle to activate the cleaning process. This roof cleaning method is a particularly low risk option for older and more delicate roofs.

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

Our low-pressure steam cleaning equipment effectively removes all moss, algae, lichen, dirt and bacteria that has accumulated on your roof. Once the moss is removed, we then complete the roof clean in the same way as method one by applying our soft wash treatment solution to the roof tiles 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 the benefits of a sale or home survey.

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

We can provide environmentally friendly chemical treatment options for customers upon request.

Should I get my roof cleaned on a regular basis?

We recommend that we revisit for a roof cleaning service and retreat the roof tiles every 4-5 years after you have had your roof cleaned. This will keep moss at bay and dramatically enhance the appearance of your roof, adding to its curb appeal.

What are the benefits of preparing for a roof clean?

In preparation for and following roof cleaning, we recommend that customers implement preventative measures and regular maintenance practices for further protection against algae and moss growth on exterior surfaces. Worcestershire roof cleaning customers may wish to consider high pressure cleaning at ground level such as patio and driveways, improving drainage by cleaning the gutters and trimming vegetation to increase sunlight exposure, and inspecting roof tiles following harsh weather.

Do you provide professional roof cleaning quotations?

Several factors must be considered when we provide Worcestershire roof cleaning quotes. These factors mean that costs will vary depending on our site visit. Our 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 and machinery, 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 Worcestershire homeowners a disservice.

As we are a locally based roof cleaning company we always offer Worcestershire 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 Worcester each week and our quote team are out and about locally each day of the week.

If you are home when we visit for our site survey, we will keep you fully informed of our findings and recommendations. For customers who want us to provide a free quote but are not home, we can follow up on the same day to explain our findings and provide you with an email quote for our cleaning services.
