Roof cleaning is a topic that often goes overlooked, but is it really necessary? Many homeowners may find themselves pondering this very question. After all, the roof is often out of sight and out of mind, right?
However, neglecting regular roof maintenance can have costly consequences in the long run. Over time, roofs can accumulate dirt, debris, algae, moss, and even mould, compromising their overall integrity. Not only can this lead to a decrease in kerb appeal, but it can also result in structural damage if left unaddressed.
In this article, we’ll explore the importance of roof cleaning, the benefits it brings, and the different methods available to keep your roof in pristine condition.
Keeping your roof clean can help you avoid serious problems. Debris, dirt and organic growth can accumulate on the surface, leading to many issues in the long run.
For example, when dirt and debris build up on rooftops, they may create a barrier that traps moisture. This can lead to water pooling on the roof, which eventually seeps into the underlying structure and causes leaks. Standing water on roofs can also create organic growth such as algae and moss, which can deteriorate roof shingles and tiles, leading to weakened protection against the elements.
While it is important to regularly clean your roof, you may be wondering how to work out when it actually needs cleaning. Fortunately, there are a few signs that can indicate your roof is in need of some attention.
One of the most obvious signs is, of course, the presence of dirt, debris, or moss on the surface of your roof. If you notice dark streaks, green patches, or moss, it’s a clear indication that it needs cleaning.

Climb the cast-iron steps to the roof garden at the Reading International Solidarity Centre (RISC) and you can almost forget that you’re in the heart of the city. Just 30 by 6 metres, the garden manages to fill every vista and the breeze through the trees drowns out all but the loudest city noises.
A quick way to clean the algae out of a garden water feature after a long, dark, and wet winter is to use a power washer. It only takes a few minutes to dislodge the long mats of algae, and the low volume of water that blows out of the nozzle doesn’t disturb even the smallest of rocks. Start at the top of where the water flows and work your way down to the bottom of the feature. This is a lot easier and more effective than grabbing the strands by hand and then using a brush to clean the rest away. You can see the difference in these “before” and “after” photos. I enjoy this a lot more than power washing the patio.
