Frequently Asked Questions
Roof Cleaning Service
- Steam Cleaning – We use a pressure steam cleaning system that will remove biological growth like moss, algae and fungi while killing of any spores due to the high heat. The temperature in the system is high, the amount of pressure on the roof tiles is extremely gentle and the volume of water being used is really low. Your typical cold pressure washing machine runs between 21ltr/31ltr per min with 2500/3500 pounds per square inch of pressure. Our steam cleaning set up uses between 3ltr/7ltr per min with a max operation pressure of 1500 pounds per square inch.

Yes when carried out properly. Our Soft wash solution contains a small amount of sodium hypochlorite amongst other cleaning products.

One of the secrets of this system is the final rinse. This removes any pollutants which may dislodged from the tiny gaps between the window frame and sealed units. The final stage of the filtration takes place as we pump the pure deionised water from holding tanks in our van through resin filters into the hoses which feed our cleaning poles, ensuring that this water is as pure as it practically can be. The water droplets left on the window will be 100% pure and will dry completely clear. Using a cloth or squeegee to dry windows would only result in contaminating the clean surfaces with smears and blemishes.
