Roof Cleaning Revitalization with Wells Exterior Cleaning

At Wells Exterior Cleaning, we recently had the pleasure of transforming a roof in Christchurch that had been covered in years of moss and algae. Here’s a quick look at the project and the results!

The Problem: A Roof in Need of TLC We were called out to a home in Christchurch where the roof was showing signs of dark streaks and moss growth. These issues not only affected the home’s curb appeal but could also lead to long-term damage if not addressed, as moss and algae can trap moisture, causing roof materials to deteriorate.

Our Roof Cleaning Process

Inspection & Safety Prep

We started by inspecting the roof and setting up safety systems to ensure a secure work environment.

Soft Washing Using a low-pressure soft wash, we applied eco-friendly cleaning solutions to break down the algae and moss without damaging the shingles. This technique is both gentle and effective.

Manual Moss Removal For tougher areas, we carefully scraped away moss by hand to ensure the roof stayed intact.

Final Rinse & Clean-Up After the cleaning, we rinsed the roof thoroughly and cleared the surrounding area of any debris.

The Results The difference was remarkable! The roof now looks fresh and vibrant, and most importantly, it’s free from harmful organic buildup that could have led to costly repairs.

At Wells Exterior Cleaning, we believe that regular roof maintenance is key to preserving both the look and lifespan of your home.
