Roof & Gutter Cleaning

Buckinghamshire & South Gloucestershire

How we remove moss from the roof.

We have a roof scraper that was designed and manufactured by a roof cleaning professional, we have different scrapers for different shaped roof tiles, attached to a telescopic pole.

We drag all the moss down towards the gutter line and then bag it all up and remove. We make sure that the down pipes are closed so the moss and debris cannot block them up.

Biocide Roof Treatment for Roofs

We spray a biocide on the moss free roof and it immediately goes to work, killing all the spores, lichen, and any other organic growth on your roof, we do not rinse the solution as it will continue to work for many months. We also offer another treatment that will make your roof look like new, ask us when we come to provide a free no obligation quote.

How long will the cleaning of my roof take?

This will depend upon the size of your roof and its condition; if moss build up is particularly bad for example, it will take longer to clean than a roof with light damage. In addition, the length of time will depend upon the ease of access to the roof. If it can be cleaned from ground level by the use of extendable poles, it may be a faster job than if you have to go to the bother of using a cherry picker.

According to professional roof cleaning companies, it should take between 1 and 3 days to clean your roof and to clean up afterwards.

One of the most time-consuming aspects of cleaning a roof is the clean-up operation afterwards. Not only will the mossy build up and algae need to be disposed of; cleaning a roof with biocide and bleach needs to be handled very carefully in order to avoid causing pollution. This is a dirty job that must be carried out properly so hiring a professional service is always a much easier option than attempting this yourself.

A professional roof cleaning service will carry out the job much faster than is possible by an individual, plus a professional service has all the right equipment to make the job fast and easy.

However, one of the best advantages of calling in the professionals is that you don’t have to worry about the clean-up operation afterwards.

Why do you need to keep your roof clean?

The mould, mildew, algae, lichen and moss need to be removed from your roof. Metal roofs can develop oxidation which should also be removed. By cleaning your roof, you prolong its life and function. Often it can be the north and west sides of your roof that get less sun and heat, the shady sides causing soot, biomass and dirt build up then affects the amount of heat the house or building absorbs.

What Results can I expect from my roof clean?

Cleaning your roof improves the whole appearance of your property. Once your roof is free of moss and lichen it will instantly make your home look clean and tidy and in good condition.

In truth, the most important aspect of roof cleaning is usually cosmetic. After all we all spend time and money improving our homes but if you forget the condition of your roof it will ruin this good appearance.   Whether you are considering selling your property or just want to improve the overall look of your home, cleaning your roof certainly works.

Gutter Cleaning/Vacuum

Why is regular gutter cleaning so important? As a homeowner, you may have a long list of things to do for maintaining your property, and we believe hiring a professional gutter cleaning company in for cleaning your gutters, should be a top priority on your checklist.

Keeping leaves out of gutters is crucial for protecting the structure of your home and preventing (in some cases) repairs for costly water damage in the future. There are a number of reasons why cleaning your gutters is important, and we’ve outlined the key factors below to help understand why it’s an essential job.

Prevent water damage. When gutters and downpipes are blocked with leaves and debris, rainwater may not drain properly. As water overflows from gutters, it can cause water damage on both the interior and exterior of your home.

Protect your roof. Clogged gutters give rainwater nowhere to run. When water continues to flood over, it can leave a rotten or leaky roof in it’s wake.

Keep pests from causing trouble. Gutters clogged with leaves can make desirable homes for rodents, birds and insects. The last thing you want is a pest infestation in your home!

Reduce the risk of a cracked foundation. When water is blocked from travelling away from your home, it can pool around the foundation of your house. This water can crack the foundation of your property when it expands and freezes in the winter months.

Cleaning Options available

At PESTBGONE, we feel we are different to most of our competitors as we take a flexible approach to every job.

What do we mean by this?

Well you may find some gutter cleaning companies are very rigid in the way that they will do the work, for example, some simply refuse to work off ladders, and some only use ladders, however, there are bound to be times when a ladder is more favourable over a vacuum and vice versa. Our approach is flexible, and we will simply do what needs to be done to get the job completed to our customers satisfaction.

Additionally, all of our quotations include clearing any blocked downpipes that we may find, this is not something that is always able to be done with a vacuum, therefore, we have other means of unblocking the downpipes, either by hand or from the ground floor using additional professional equipment. All of our company employed teams and approved contractors are fully insured, giving you additional peace of mind. We also recommend an annual clean to ensure that the gutters are regularly maintained and kept clear, as overflowing gutters can lead to a whole host of problems for your property, including damp problems, mould problems and damage to fascias, soffits and brickwork.

Gutter and downpipe cleaning can help prevent unexpected and expensive projects down the road. Taking preventive measures now can help minimise the likelihood of having to repair or replace your roof.
