Roof Cleaning
Moss, algae and grime can accumulate on the surface of your roof over time, leading to issues such as water leaks and structural damage. Moss acts like a sponge absorbing large amounts of moisture and resulting in your roof being constantly wet. If this moisture travels underneath the tiles it could rot the wooden components of the roof, threatening structural integrity and leading to costly repairs. Removing the moss from your roof can prolong the lifespan of your roof and avoid costly repairs in the future.
How DCW removes moss from roof tiles
Firstly all moss is removed via scrapping down with special blades designed for the tile shape, then gutters are cleaned from moss debris and then biocide treatment is applied. Biocide treatment must be applied on a dry day with no rain fall expected over the following few hrs of application. DCW carries out the job from the ground with no cherry pickers or scaffolding.

How does biocide work?
Biocide affects the proteins and cell membrane of microorganisms consequently causing the release of nitrogen and phosphorus from cells. Where an apply and leave application is used the processes of natural weathering works to eliminate the dead biofilm staining.
How long does the self-cleansing process (spray/brush & leave) take?
(1). Green algae stains should disappear within a week. (2). Red algae stains should disappear within 2-3 weeks. (3). Well established dark staining can take several months to disappear. Gradual lightening of the surface contamination should be noticeable within the first few weeks and months following treatment. Note: Severe biofilms may require an additional application. However, this is not typically necessary.
Contains: 50% DDAC amongst other ingredient.
