Why roof cleaning is important, according to manufacturers

A question often asked by many is…

“Why should I have my roof cleaned? Surely it doesn’t matter1”

Hmm…

Marley.co.uk - roofing supply specialists - provide all the confirmation you need in answer to the same question -

“Regular maintenance is crucial to prolong the lifespan of a roof and preserve its integrity. This should include inspection for broken and loose tiles, checking gutters and downpipes, and the removal of any organic material that may have built up, such as leaves, moss and lichen.

Moss and lichen tends to flourish on roofs in rural areas, where trees are nearby and where there are shady, damp conditions. Steeper pitched roofs are less likely to support moss and lichen growth as they shed water more quickly than roofs with a low pitch. In contrast, north-facing and shallow roofs tend to remain damper for longer and will therefore attract mosses and lichens.

In normal circumstances, a small amount of growth is not harmful to the actual roof tiles or slates. However, in extreme cases, it may affect the flow of water down the roof, hampering drainage, or may retain water, increasing the risk of damage or leaks developing. In these cases, moss and lichen should be removed to avoid possible water ingress into the roof space.”
