Roof Coating / Cleaning / Painting – What is the real cost?

You may well have noticed a number of houses / bungalows in your area with their tiles or painted, is the latest in home improvement, is it really a difference? Well the answer to that question is yes, it makes a huge difference not only in the appearance of the roof, but also stops mosses and algae regrowth from the roof.

The way the roofing operation is very simple, first moss, algae and lichens are removed the roof using a high pressure water system, this is done using a pressure washer industry that ensures that all foams etc. is completely eliminated, so your pressure washer that can be generally purchased from your hardware store for a couple hundred pounds will not do.

Once the foam has been removed any broken or cracked tiles are replaced, the repointing of the hip and OUT valley is then performed.

After what has been completed there is an anti-fungal wash is applied to the roof tiles, this rule mainly in the pores of the tiles and kills fungal spores remaining.

The last part is to apply two coats of roof coating acrylic, this basically seals the pores of the tiles which in turn stops the water from sitting on the tiles, no water equals not equals no moss moist.

How will this type of work cost me??

Simply that you do not need to pay more than £ 20.00 per square meter, everyone that you said that you away, you'll find many companies that begin approximately £ 60.00 per square meter, then after some clever marketing techniques to reduce it to £ 45.00 per square meter, or perhaps slightly less.

You do NOT need to pay more than £ 20.00 per square meter, do not be fooled, this type of companies have sales managers, directors sales offices, vendors and solicitors that all must be paid before you get your roof coating, which is why they charge so much, everybody wants a piece of the pie.
