Caversham Roof Moss Removal

Outdoor Living Company is a professional and local roof cleaning and coating company in Caversham RG4 and the surrounding areas.

Over time your property’s roof tiles or roof slates are exposed to a variety or harsh weather conditions including rain, wind, snow, frost, UV damage and more. The effects of weathering and pollution not only spoil the aesthetic appearance of your property but can cause roof tiles to become porous after about 20 years.

This leads to the formation of moss, fungus, algae, lichens and moisture retention, which in turn increases weight and stress on the roof structure. Soiled roofing in Caversham can also cause a build-up of rainwater, allowing this to penetrate below the overlaps and ruin the watertight qualities of the surface.

A build-up of moss on your roof is not only visually unappealing, but it can also cause significant damage by pushing tiles out of place and even boring into roofing materials, leaving your roof susceptible to further damage from strong weather conditions.

If you are having a problem with moss on your roof, we can provide a quick and effective service to get it removed immediately.

Removing moss in Caversham from your roof is necessary to guarantee the proper function of the water drainage systems on your roof and to prevent the roofing from succumbing to water damage and damage from freezing conditions.

Moss and algae can spread quickly over roofs, especially if they are often shaded. Once moss has grown, it will spread, causing harm to your roof as it grows. Moss will grow its roots into the granules of your roof tiles, loosening them, giving them a higher chance to fall off and making them a safety hazard.

Cleaning and removing the moss and algae from your roof is a great precautionary measure to stop damage to the tiles, reduce the likelihood of leaks and prolong the life of your roof.

If your property is prone to growing moss it is good practice to get a regular roof clean. Moss can increase the chances of frost damage to the roof ridge mortar and roof tiles as moss holds moisture which freezes and expands in winter. Moss also blocks gutters and downpipes which can cause gutter flooding.
