Roof Repairers & Cleaners

Roof repairers and cleaners refer to individuals or industries involved in the repair, maintenance, or restoration of roofs. Roofing repairers and cleaner will provide a wide range of services from cleaning, repairs and re-roofing of residential properties through to large commercial and industrial installations.

Roof repairers can also install and maintain air vents, bird proofing, extensions, leaf screens, guttering, down pipes and other plumbing. Cleaning and maintenance activities can include drain cleaning, emergency leak and flood repairs, gutter cleaning, high pressure cleaning, leak inspections, moss removal, painting, plumbing, tile renovation, roof resprays and waterproofing. Tile roofs in particular can require many different services, including re-bedding, repointing, rescrewing, resealing and resurfacing. The removal of asbestos from older roofs is another specialist service offered.

Many different materials are used by roof repairers and cleaners, depending on the type of roof needing repair. Roof surfaces can include cement, iron, terracotta and bonded steel, while a range of coatings are used. Some coatings used for roof restoration ensure that dirt is repelled and the roof will stay clean longer, others can prevent discolouration, fading, and growth of moss and lichen. The retention of gloss and waterproof protection are other considerations. Roof repairers and cleaners will provide quotations before commencing work and will be able to provide guarantees of all work performed.
