Roof Cleaning
Over time, roofs can accumulate dirt, debris, moss, algae, and lichen. These contaminants not only make your roof look unattractive and uncared for, but can also cause significant damage if left untreated. Here’s why regular roof cleaning is important:
Prolongs Roof Life: Moss can absorb up over 2,000% of their dry weight. As a result of moss consistenly expanding and contracting, it can move and/or displace your roofs tiles.
Prevents Damage: Debris and organic growth can trap moisture, causing rot and structural damage. Cleaning removes these harmful elements, and can also remove any unncessary weight from the roof preventing further damage.
Enchancing appearance: Purely asthetic, but wouldn’t your home look even better with a clean roof?
Is roof cleaning expensive?
Roof cleaning in comaparison with a new roof, is a lot more cost effective way of maintaining your roof.
Moss and algae retain moisture, which can lead to cracks or weakening of tiles. When moss becomes wet it expands, which can cause your tiles to move. If then during winter the wet moss freezes, it can further expand, moving tiles, causing them to break or crack. Cleaning reduces the risk of water damage to the roof and underlying structures.
Cleaning your roof is a lot more cost effective than replacing an entire roof full of broken tiles! With the right expertise and equipment, a deep clean is all your roof might need. Fill out the contact form below to find out more info and get a quote.

“Allen from Revive Sussex cleaned my flat roofs recently and did a fantastic job. He was polite from the first moment I contacted him, turned up as agreed and have super equipment to do the job much better than what I can do myself with my standard pressure washer! He left everything sparkling and neat when he was done. I can highly recommend him and will use him myself again in the future!”
