Q: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
On a good day between April and September, about one day. These are the best months to have your roof cleaned. The days are longer and the roof tiles dry quickly enough so they can be sealed on the same day.
Q: HOW IS IT DONE?
By pressure washing it, starting from the top and working downwards so no water gets up under the tiles and into the loft. This is the most effective way of cleaning the roof.
Q: WHY HAVE IT SEALED AFTERWARDS?
The sealer impregnates the outer layer of the clay tiles. This inhibits the possibility of roof lichen and moss taking hold and protects the tiles from the effects of “spalling” (moisture getting into the microporous holes in the clay, freezing in winter and cracking the outer layers of the tile) It won’t 100% prevent moss from taking hold again but it will retard it by many years. Most good quality sealers come with a 10 year guarantee. That means it’s guaranteed to protect the roof tiles for that long, not prevent the moss growing again.
