Roof Cleaning: The Complete Guide

Published on: December 21st, 2023

Your roof is important for shielding your home from the elements, but it can accumulate dirt and debris over time, impacting its appearance and functionality. Regular maintenance is essential to keep your roof durable and long-lasting. In this guide, we’ll go over the difference between roof cleaning and roof treatment and when to choose between the two. We’ll also dive into the importance of gutter cleaning and how our team can clean the roof of a two-story building.

Roof Clean vs. Roof Treatment

Roof Clean:

Chemwash caters to all types of roofing, from colour steel and scope-painted iron to clay and concrete tile. Our skills enable us to eliminate lichen, moss, and mould, restoring your roof to its original condition. While we also remove pollen, it’s advised to wait until the season ends to avoid potential unevenness that may require painting.

Roof Treatment:

Roof Treatment goes beyond cleaning; it provides lasting protection and maintenance. This specialised process involves applying our environmentally friendly solution to the targeted area, ensuring effective treatment. What sets our Roof Treatment apart is its unique ability to reactivate whenever it rains, delivering continuous and long-lasting results.

Choosing Between Roof Clean and Roof Treatment

The decision to choose a Roof Clean or Roof Treatment depends on various factors, including the current state of your roof, the type of roofing material, and your long-term maintenance goals. We offer personalised advice after assessing your roof to determine the best solution.

When to Choose a Roof Clean:

1. If your roof mainly has surface dirt, leaves, and debris without much moss or lichen growth, a roof clean might be enough.

When to Choose a Roof Treatment:

1. If your roof is prone to moss or lichen, especially in areas with high humidity or shade, a roof treatment can provide long-lasting protection against these issues.
2. If you want to take a proactive approach to roof maintenance and prevent future problems, a roof treatment can be a wise investment to extend the lifespan of your roof.

Gutter Cleaning

While focusing on the roof surface is essential, ignoring your gutters can lead to serious problems. Clogged gutters can prevent proper drainage, leading to water sitting on the roof and potential leaks. Regular gutter cleaning is a vital part of overall roof maintenance.
