Maintaining a clean roof is crucial for your home's structure and longevity. However, cleaning frequency varies depending on your roof type. Here are some practical recommendations to follow:
- Asphalt shingle roofs typically need cleaning every 1-5 years.
- Metal roofs require cleaning every 1-10 years.
- Tile roofs should be cleaned every 6 months to 5 years.
The frequency of roof cleaning depends on several factors. The type of trees surrounding your home and the amount of debris they shed will contribute to wear and tear. How much sun or, more importantly, how much shade your roof receives daily will directly impact mold and algae growth.
The shape and slope of the roof can affect what settles and stays on the roof surface. Roofs with complex designs that feature flat areas and more than two valleys coming together at one point, called a dead valley, may require frequent cleaning. It is recommended to have a dead valley roof inspected every six months as water and debris may collect in these areas causing issues over time.
The typical weather conditions around Central Scotland have the ideal conditions to allow plant life such as roof moss, lichen and algae to prosper. Unchecked these can harm roof coatings and compromise the integrity of roof tiles which can reduce the lifespan of your roof.
Apart from affecting the kerb appeal of your home it can also cause issues like clogged gutters and downpipes which can, over time, lead to water ingress through wall cavities and ceilings.
Especially over the winter, when the freeze and thaw cycle can cause roof moss to expand and contract, these conditions can lead to broken or cracked roof tiles.
Roof repairs can be quite costly and the cost of replacing a roof is often prohibitive for most people.
Typically anywhere between every 5 to 10 years, although this can depend on local environmental conditions and the type of roof.
We can normally clean a typical sized roof in a single day although commercial and larger properties can take several days.
