How To Pressure Clean Your Roof

It is imperative that all damaged or missing tiles are changed to prevent any leaks into the property. It is also vital when cleaning at high pressure not to move too slowly and cause flooding through the tiles as this can become dangerous for the person on the roof. All roof types have different levels of resistance to pressure washing, therefore it’s important that your roof cleaning company thoroughly examine the roof to determine what pressure is needed to clean.

Roof Cleaning is a great way for improving the overall look and feel of your property. We recommend having a full roof restoration done which will bring the roof back to brand new. This allows your roof to be coated with protective sealant, painted and repointed if necessary. Then your roof is protected from the elements and will last a lot longer!
