This weeks transformation is on a property in Ormskirk. This moss has been present for a very long time and the home owner was unsure which method/contractor to use. We have found that many people starting out roof cleaning or thinking this is an easy process have quoted for this. This is not a roof for the faint hearted or inexperienced. This in a high biological growth area-there will always be this issue unless ongoing treatment every couple of years is undertaken.

We are going to carefully remove the moss, treat with a professional use only biocide and clean everywhere up afterwards.





 
 
 

1. It helps your roof live longer



Moss, algae, and lichen don’t just sit there looking ugly — they hold moisture against your shingles. Over time that can cause rot, cracking, and granule loss. Cleaning removes that buildup so your roof can do its job without slowly deteriorating.



2. It prevents expensive repairs



Those dark streaks you see are often caused by algae (commonly Gloeocapsa magma). Left alone, it can weaken materials and trap heat. Small issues turn into leaks, and leaks turn into “why is my ceiling bubbling?” moments. A cleaning is way cheaper than replacing a roof.



3. It boosts curb appeal



A stained roof can make your whole house look older. Cleaning it can instantly brighten the exterior — which is a big deal if you’re selling or just want your place to look sharp.



4. It can improve energy efficiency



Dark algae stains absorb heat. A cleaner, lighter roof reflects more sunlight, which can help keep your home cooler (especially in warmer climates)
