"I have had three jobs done by RRC over the last couple of months... third a cleaning of all the tiles and removal of moss with treatment to prevent further moss growth and finally a cleaning of the guttering downpipes and soffits. RRC are very competitively priced... Their work was carried out in an efficient manner (weather permitting) and to a very high standard. Highly recommend"

"Our roof was leaking. Luckily we contacted RRC who have diagnosed, repaired and replaced our roof. They discussed every stage with us, were punctual and very tidy and courteous. On the final day they cleaned all the fascias, doors and windows."

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Cleaning & Treatment in Winchester

Why is roof cleaning and treatment important for Winchester homes?

Winchester's damp climate encourages moss, algae, and lichen growth on roofs. This growth not only looks unsightly but also retains moisture, which can damage roofing materials, particularly porous tiles and slates common in older Winchester properties. Regular cleaning and treatment extend your roof's lifespan and prevent costly damage.

What type of roof cleaning methods do Rightway Roofers use in Winchester?

We primarily use manual roof cleaning methods, including scraping and brushing, as these are gentle and effective for Winchester roofs, especially heritage properties. For certain situations, we may employ soft washing techniques with low pressure to carefully remove stubborn growth, always avoiding harsh pressure washing that can damage tiles.

Are chemical treatments safe for my roof and the environment in Winchester?

Yes, Rightway Roofers uses environmentally conscious, approved biocide treatments that are safe for your roofing materials and surrounding landscaping in Winchester. These treatments are designed to kill existing moss and algae and prevent regrowth for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.

How often should I have my roof cleaned and treated in Winchester?

For Winchester's climate, we recommend roof cleaning and treatment every 3-5 years, or sooner if you notice significant moss or algae buildup. Properties in shaded areas or near trees may require more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance is key to protecting your roof.

Can roof cleaning improve the energy efficiency of my Winchester home?

Yes, cleaning moss and algae from your roof can improve energy efficiency. Moss and dark algae absorb heat, increasing your roof's temperature and potentially raising your home's internal temperature in warmer months. Removing this growth can help your roof reflect more sunlight and keep your home cooler.

Will roof cleaning damage my roof tiles, especially older tiles in Winchester?

No, when performed correctly by professionals like Rightway Roofers, roof cleaning should not damage your tiles. We avoid high-pressure washing and use gentle, manual methods and soft washing techniques, specifically chosen to protect delicate and older roofing materials common in Winchester's historic buildings.

Does Rightway Roofers clean all types of roofs in Winchester, including listed buildings?

Yes, Rightway Roofers has experience cleaning a wide range of roofs in Winchester, including slate, tile, and various flat roof materials. We have particular expertise in working with older and listed buildings, understanding the sensitive nature of these properties and using appropriate conservation-friendly methods.

What are the benefits of manual roof cleaning over pressure washing in Winchester?

Manual roof cleaning is far gentler and more controlled than pressure washing, which can be too aggressive for many roofing materials, especially older tiles found in Winchester. Manual methods prevent tile damage, water ingress under tiles, and are more effective at thoroughly removing moss and algae without causing harm.

How long does a typical roof cleaning and treatment service take in Winchester?

The duration depends on the size and condition of your roof, but for an average Winchester home, roof cleaning and treatment usually takes one to two days. We will provide a more accurate timeframe when we assess your property and provide your free estimate.
