Moss and algae can cause major problems for your guttering if you allow the organic material to grow uncontrolled on your roof. Over time it will spread before it eventually finds its way into the gutters. When this happens it can lead to blockages, flooding, and a host of other issues. Additionally, when the moss is saturated it will increase in weight, putting more pressure on the gutter. This could lead to breakages and the expense and hassle of gutter replacements.

There are a number of outdoor jobs outside and around your home that are better to leave until the spring and summer months, but having your roof cleaned isn’t one of them. A lot of people assume that it’s either just too dangerous for someone to be up on the roof during winter, while many would say that cleaning a roof at this time of year is pointless as it will just need to be done again not long after. However, neither of these are reasons to wait until after winter to have your roof cleaned. Continue reading →

It is widely known that using high pressure washing to clear roofs of moss, algae and lichen can be very damaging. The problem with this kind of washing is the fact that its abrasive technique strips the surface granules from the tiles and reduces the life expectancy of the roof. Continue reading →

A moss covered roof can be a problem in the winter when the weather gets colder and wetter. The organic material will stay saturated for a long time, keeping water on the roof rather than allowing it to flow away efficiently. This in itself can lead to problems and will cause the roofing materials to wear away at a faster rate. Continue reading →

Moss can grow on almost any surface such as walls, pavements and trees. Its growth produces tiny spores that eventually become airborne. These spores settle on roofs and other potential growth sites and during the colder months of the year the spores grow into moss. It can be a particularly persistent problem on roofs.

Over time, roofs can start to develop dark or green patches as moss starts to grow. This is relatively common in the UK because of the wet weather and the popularity of pitched roofs. It occurs more commonly on roofs that are shaded for long periods of time because moss dries out and doesn’t grow when in direct sunlight. Continue reading →
