Commercial Roof Cleaning
You can save a lot of money by cleaning frequently. On the other hand, leaving your business premises unattended for an extended period of time can result in a number of safety risks, such as:
- The accumulation of organic material and debris, which could weaken the structure of your roof.
- Debris clogging gutters and drainage systems, which can cause water to pool and possibly lead to leaks in other places.
- Debris accumulates absorbing more heat, so your cooling system must work more to keep the environment at a constant temperature.
Following the adage “prevention is better than cure,” we advise a regular cleaning schedule to keep your commercial property in good condition. Additionally, this will cut down on future rooftop cleaning expenses.
You must hire professionals with the necessary knowledge and tools for this type of work because it frequently involves working at considerable heights. At Sontech Roofing of Doncaster, we offer cleaning services for commercial and industrial structures such as:
- Showrooms
- Industrial Units
- Universities
- Offices
- Hospitals
- Warehouses
- Schools
- Shopping Centres
Residential Roof Cleaning
Your roof’s unattractive black and green spots don’t only look bad; they also shorten the life of your roofing system. Consistent cleaning can stop the signs of long-term harm. The signs include;
- Water is collecting on the rooftop as a result of obstructed drainage and gutters.
- Due to too much weight, the roof’s structural integrity is compromised.
- Seepage problems caused by too much moisture.
Mould and Mildew Growth
At Sontech Roofing of Doncaster, we have a group of highly qualified experts who use time-tested cleaning techniques to preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your house or other domestic structures.
In humid, damp settings, moss and lichen can develop. Quickly growing, a thick green carpet might soon completely cover your roof. In addition to long-term structural deterioration, more moisture can cause problems with health and safety.
The Distinction Between Lichen and Moss
Moss forms a thick layer on your roof when it grows near to a surface. Because of the moisture that is trapped beneath, it also offers the ideal environment for the growth of mould and mildew.
Flat, green dots are what lichens resemble. They are unusually resilient creatures composed of two symbiotic partners, typically an alga and a fungus. Lichens are particularly bad for rooftops because they have a much tighter hold on the surface and are challenging to get rid of.
Lichen and moss on roofs
In addition to being ugly, neglected and dusty rooftops have a tendency to gather water and absorb more heat, which makes them ideal habitats for moss and lichen. These issues include:
- Water build-up resulting in gaps between the tiles or even damage from frost penetration.
- Clogged gutters and downpipes, which cause seepage and problems with health and sanitation.
- Wood deteriorating as a result of increased humidity and standing water, seriously harming the building’s structure.
- Over time, additional strain brought on by the moss’s weight causes permanent harm to your roof.
Why Is Roof Washing Advised for Eliminating Moss, Lichen, and Algae?
Moss, lichen, and algae can cause roof damage due to their acidity, which causes issues with the materials used in construction. When moss is removed from a roof, there will always be debris left behind, as well as bacteria that can cause damage if not cleaned properly. This means that even if your roof appears to be in good condition, it has been harmed. After vegetation has grown on a roof for more than one season, you’ll see symptoms of probable degradation due to the plant that has grown. Rooftop vegetation can also lead to problems with dampness, which can have major consequences for your family’s health. Houses in cooler areas are more likely to have moss growing on them since moisture is more plentiful during the winter months than during the summer.

Many companies advertise “pressure washing” services to remove moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from the roofs of residential and commercial buildings. While pressure washing may appear to be an effective solution at first glance, it is actually a very ineffective method for cleaning roofs. It can easily damage your roof’s tiles as well as the cement work on the ridges, valleys, and around your chimney stack. Furthermore, it provides no assurance that your roof surfaces will not grow more mould in the future. This is why, depending on your location and weather conditions, we recommend investing in our soft wash process to clean your residential or commercial roof on a regular basis. There are no dangers in using our service! Soft wash roof cleaning has been shown to be effective at removing moss without causing damage to the roof.
While using a pressure washer to clean the exterior of your home is quick, it can be very damaging to your roofing materials. Because of the numerous risks that come with using a power washer on a roof incorrectly, it is not recommended. For starters, they’re abrasive, while removing protective roof coatings as well as moss and dirt from your roof! Second, power washers spray a powerful stream of water with a high force, which could damage your roof structure, allow water in, or worse, cause cracks in or around the tiles on your home or business. Finally, using a power washer will result in water runoff after washing, which will most likely pool and cause more harm than good to nearby vegetation. Finally, attempting to power wash your own roof can be extremely dangerous, not to mention possibly damaging your roof!
The best method for removing moss, lichen, and algae from roofs is soft washing. You are not only saving the environment but also protecting your investment by using a special nozzle that softens water before it reaches your roof. Using this non-abrasive method will save you money in the long run by reducing the need for roof repairs and replacement. Roof wash chemicals, for the most part, contain emulsifiers, which allow water to mix with oil or dirt, allowing someone to clean their roof without having to scrub each individual tile by hand. There are some good products out there that do that, but we’ve found a better… Roof Cleaning with Soft Wash
