Roof cleaning is an essential part of property maintenance. Cleaning a roof allows you to remove organic and inorganic substances from the tiles or shingles and check the surface for any damage. Keeping a roof clean not only helps to improve its aesthetic appearance, but can also extend its lifespan.
Softwashing is truly the only way to completely effectively kill all biological growth when it comes to roofs, render and all surfaces. Steam cleaning / pressure washing are able to achieve great results with most surfaces but to get to the root of any spores and bacteria requires chemical treatment. Most roof manufactures will recommend low pressure steam cleaning and / or soft washing treatments as non aggressive methods of roof cleaning..
When it comes to roof cleaning, the professional grade soft washing treatments we use need to be applied onto the roof surface and left to dry into the tiles. Over time, the solution is able to slowly work away at the roof to destroy the biofilm, kill all live bacteria, algae, lichen etc and work at bringing the appearance of the roof back over a period of time.
There are many different chemicals that can be used to clean roofs. We only use professional grade products that offer the best possible solutions to roof cleaning, which are bleach free and acid free.
