If you haven’t attended to your roof recently, then now is a good time to start. As the leading business for roof cleaning Crowthorn has, we know what neglect brings. Your property will deteriorate, resulting in you having to invest in a replacement. To prevent this, you should rely on the professional roof cleaners at Berkshire Roof Clean.

Algae

There are individuals who believe that yellow and black roof stains are the result of dirt, acid, or tar. In reality, roof stains are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma. This is a hardy kind of blue-green algae. One spore landing on the roof is all that’s necessary for it to attach to your roof. From there, it can get to work ruining it. The algae shall continue to spread by feeding on the limestone filler found in your slates, roof tiles, and shingles.

Don’t be so quick to replace the roof

One of the biggest myths about roofing is that algae is a sign that you need to replace your roof. This simply isn’t true. The presence of the organic material alone isn’t enough to justify a replacement. All you need is for our professional team to come and clean the roof. They can restore the original look it once had.

If anyone does tell you that you require a replacement roof because of algae, ignore them and give us a call instead. You’ll save yourself a huge amount of money this way and get support from the top roof cleaners in the Crowthorn area.

Clean roofs

Another myth is that removing algae has no influence on a home’s curb appeal. We can tell you from personal experience that it’s the opposite. It doesn’t matter how clean your windows are or how beautiful your landscaping is. A filthy roof can put people off, especially if you are looking to sell.
