Cleaning a house roof is a delicate task that requires the right expertise, equipment, and careful attention to detail. At Master Clean, we use a thorough step-by-step process to clean and restore your roof, ensuring it looks great while maintaining its structural integrity.
Before we begin, our team carries out a detailed inspection of the roof to understand its condition. We check for any damaged or loose tiles and identify the type of stains or growth, such as moss, algae, or lichen. This allows us to choose the best cleaning method for your roof, ensuring safety and effectiveness throughout the process.
We then prepare the area for cleaning, taking all necessary safety precautions. This includes setting up ladders, safety harnesses, and other equipment to make sure our team can work securely at height. We also protect surrounding areas, like plants, windows, and gutters, to avoid any damage from falling debris or water runoff.
To start the cleaning, we remove any loose debris such as leaves, twigs, and large clumps of moss using specialized tools and gentle techniques. This clears the surface so that the cleaning agents can work more effectively. For more delicate roofs, we may use manual brushing and scraping to prevent any damage to the tiles.
Next, we apply a cleaning solution or a biocide treatment to the roof, depending on its type and the level of dirt or growth. Soft washing involves using low-pressure water combined with environmentally friendly cleaning agents that penetrate deep into the surface to break down mold, algae, and other organic growths. This method provides a deep clean without the risk of damaging the roof.
Once the cleaning agents have had time to do their job, we thoroughly rinse the roof with low-pressure water to remove all loosened dirt, moss, and residues. For areas that need extra attention, we may use a pressure washer, carefully adjusting the pressure to match the roof material. After the cleaning is done, we check everything to ensure all areas are properly cleaned, and we clear out the gutters and downpipes to make sure water can drain correctly. We also provide advice on regular maintenance, such as follow-up treatments every few years, to prevent new growth and keep your roof looking its best.
By following this detailed process, Master Clean makes sure your roof is not only thoroughly cleaned but also protected against future damage, helping to extend its life and maintain the appearance of your home.
