We all know there’s a lot of aspects of house maintenance from something a small as dusting and hoovering, all the way to window cleaning and Roof cleaning. Roof cleaning tends to get overlooked but there’s some important reasons why you should really think about getting your Roofs cleaned:

1. Blocked or clogged Roofs will damage your roof and property

A blockage in your Roof will impede the flow of water and rainfall. On a particularly heavy day of rainfall you’ll find your Roofs may overflow and excess water can run down your exterior walls. This can lead to issue with damp and mould.

2. Blocked or clogged Roofs are great for pests

A clogged or blocked Roof makes the ideal home for pests, rodents and bacterial organisms. It goes without saying, you’ll want to clear your Roofs to make sure you don’t have any unwanted visitors.

3. Blocked or clogged can affect the groundworks of your home

The purpose of your Roofing is to collect and divert rainwater away from your home. When your Roof is clogged, that water is no longer diverted away and can find it’s way to vital parts of your home, such as the foundations.

4. Dirty, damage or blocked Roofs may affect your house value

The first thing prospect purchases are going to see is the front of your house and let’s be honest… unsightly scenes such a damage or blocked Roofs aren’t going to set the best first impressions.

A pitched roof will usually mean 2 gutter runs along the main roof, one at the front, and one at the back, if you have guttering along the side elevation then you need to pick another roof option.
