Roof Cleaning and Treated With an Antifungal Moss Wash Job Located in Brighton

Roof cleaning in Brighton

We recently travelled over to Brighton to assist a homeowner whose property was suffering from a significant build-up of moss and organic growth across the entire roof surface. Over time, the damp Sussex air can cause these areas to become heavily infested, which not only affects the look of the home but can also lead to blocked gutters and unnecessary stress on the roof tiles. The customer was keen to have the roof restored while ensuring the longevity of the materials, so we planned a comprehensive cleaning and preventative treatment package to suit their needs.

Working carefully at height

With over twenty years of experience in exterior cleaning, we understand that a delicate touch is essential when working at height. We began by carefully removing the bulk of the moss using professional scraping tools, ensuring we didn't cause any damage to the tiles. Once the heavy debris was cleared, we moved on to a controlled wash. It is vital to use the correct pressure settings here; too much force can strip the protective layer off a tile, so we utilised our specialist equipment to gently but thoroughly rinse away the remaining dirt, lichen, and silt that had settled into the grooves.

Applying the antifungal moss wash

After the tiles were clean and the gutters were cleared of the runoff, we applied a professional-grade antifungal moss wash. This chemical treatment is a crucial part of our process as it soaks into the porous surface of the tile to kill off any remaining spores that the eye cannot see. This ensures that the roof stays cleaner for much longer than a standard jet wash alone would provide. The result was a noticeable improvement that instantly boosted the property's kerb appeal and gave the homeowner peace of mind that their roof was protected from the elements.

Keeping the roof in good condition

To keep a roof in this condition, we always recommend keeping nearby overhanging branches trimmed and ensuring gutters are checked annually. This simple maintenance helps prevent the damp conditions that moss thrives on.
