Your roof is the most important part of your home to maintain because it’s most exposes to the elements. If you want to keep your roof in good order, then keeping it clean is essential. Moss, lichen and algae will stick to your roof tiles, and like any other plant it will grow. This will cause the tiles to become porous, and potentially succumb to frost damage in the winter. With a heavy downpour of rain, moss growing on the roof can dislodge falling into your guttering, restricting the flow of water and blocking down pipes and drains. Rain water from overflowing gutters can get into the eaves causing damp and mold, and the soffits can also rot. Our roof cleaning services help to keep your roof while showing the better looks of your roof.
If your roof is covered in moss we recommend a roof moss prevention treatment. The damp climate in the UK can create the perfect conditions for moss, algae and lichens to thrive on a roof. Not only does Moss looks unsightly but it can also cause other problems such as Gutters and downpipes to become blocked. In addition, the extra weight of wet moss can cause stress on the roof structure. What's more, during winter the freeze-thaw process may cause tiles to break. This can cause premature degradation and the appearance of your roof to deteriorate. Plus it could also cost you a substantial amount of money in roof repairs. Have you ever employed a contractor for a project in your home only to realise that your choice has turned into a nightmare? So how do you avoid this happening again?

RD Roof Cleaning and Coating have a network of independent companies who are experienced in cleaning roofs. They will provide a full range of roof cleaning and roof moss prevention treatment services throughout the Thurrock and Essex.
Over time your property’s roof tiles or roof slates are exposed to a variety of harsh weather conditions including rain, wind, snow, frost and UV damage. The effects of weathering and pollution not only spoil the aesthetic appearance of your property but can cause roof tiles to become porous after about 20 years. This leads to the formation of moss, fungus, algae, lichens and moisture retention, which in turn increases weight and stress on the roof structure. Moss can also cause a build up of rainwater, allowing this to penetrate below the overlaps and ruin the watertight qualities of the surface. Our roof moss removal services will not only make your roof look like new; it will also add extra protection from the elements.
Ensuring that your roof is maintained in good condition is vital to protect your home from everything that the weather can throw at it. Storm damage to roofs that is left unrepaired will be more expensive to fix later on. Loose tiles or slates will allow rain water to seep through the roof which will cause the roof felt below the tiles to start to degrade and eventually allow water into the roof space and in to your home unless repaired. Leaving it will cost far kore to repair later. RD Roof Cleaning and Coating carry out all repairs to a high standard to ensure that your roof remains watertight.
There are many forms of roof coatings, and every one of those comes with an added benefit. The first aim when it comes to installing a new roof coating is ot improve the sustainability of the roofing system itself. Coatings improve the strength of roofing systems that may be a little older as they not only assist with the ageing process by slowing it down it also prevents any further damage to the roofing systems. It can also help with making your roofing system look much more aesthetically pleasing. We will be running through the many benefits you can experience with the right roof coating.
Roof tile sealing in Thurrock and Essex and the surrounding areas protects tiles and gives property owners peace of mind. While roof cleaning is crucial for the health of roof tiles, roof tile coating is the best way to ensure you get the best from your tiles. Tiles are porous, and the UK weather provides damp conditions year-round. This is the ideal environment for things such as moss, algae and lichen to grow and spread. If left untreated, these infestations can cause tiles to crack and move, leading to leaks. Leaking roofs cause damage that is harmful to the wallet and health. If the inside of your property suffers from mould or dampness, it can cause respiratory issues. Our roof tile sealing coats tiles in a high-quality roof sealer. This locks moisture out and deters contaminations. Treating tiles with a decent roof tile protector will strengthen them and protect the health of your roof. It is dangerous to access your roof without the correct equipment and this is where RD Roof Cleaning and Coating come in.
