5 Top reasons why Roof Washing is absolutely worth it
Have you ever searched for roof cleaning near me? As a homeowner you might have noticed your tiles looking a little worse for wear. Maybe you've got moss falling off your roof in chunks and blocking your gutters or even landing on your conservatory roof.
How to clean moss off roof
Over the years, and thanks to the UK's generally damp and humid weather, we have the perfect climate for moss to grow and thrive, particularly on our roofs.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to handle it is to get your roof cleaned, and there are at least 5 main benefits that you might not know!
1. Roof washing immediately makes your home look younger.
Curb appeal may not be the first thing on your mind, but your home looks fresher with a clean roof. Your tiles might have once been a lovely terracotta colour, or even warm ochre or slate, but all of that is hidden under years of build up from algae, moss and even bird droppings. 
Cleaning your roof costs a fraction of the price of new roof tiles and immediately gives your home a boost of its appearance.
2. Roof cleaning protects your tiles and your home from long-term damage
Moss is a silent menace. During the warmer months moss spreads and grows, burying its roots deep within the cracks of your tiles. In the winter months these roots freeze and contract, which can lead to moss falling off and pulling pieces of your tile with it! 
Left for a long period of time this can even prevent the ability for you to clean your roof altogether, as scrubbing or pressure washing your tiles might cause too much damage, so it's better to tackle it before it gets really bad.
3. Roof cleaning improves the energy efficiency of your home
A thick layer of moss and algae acts like a soaked sponge on your roof—it holds water, reduces insulation efficiency, and can even contribute to ice dams in cold snaps. A clean roof sheds rainwater faster, reduces damp risk in the loft, and lets your insulation do its job properly—so your heating bills thank you too.
4. Removing moss stops your gutters from blocking
We've been gutter cleaning for over 15 years, so we know what blocked gutters full of moss look like! Moss falls into your gutter, gets washed into your downpipe and, if you don't do regular gutter maintenance, can cause everything from damp patches on your walls to cracked foundations. This makes roof cleaning far more important than you might at first think.
