It can sometimes be difficult to know exactly how often you should be having your roof professionally cleaned. With other elements of your home, such as windows, walls and driveways, it’s easy to see when cleaning is required, whereas it is usually not as simple to have a quick visual inspection of your roof to see what condition it is in.

The frequency of required roof cleaning depends on a number of different factors. To begin with, there’s the quality and nature of the last cleaning work that was done. On top of that comes all sorts of environmental and circumstantial factors. For example, a particularly long and wet winter could end up leaving the roofing dirtier than it should be, while a warmer spring or summer could easily lead to accelerated growth of moss and algae. These factors will generally be very specific to your property and location, which means the question can only be definitively answered by looking directly at your roof.
