At NW Wash, we strongly believe that a roof is one of the most important parts of any home in Temple Sowerby. It protects you and your belongings from the elements, so keeping it in top condition is essential.
Over time, your roof will deteriorate due to the effects of weather, pollution and age. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure that your roof continues to protect your property and all those living inside.
That’s why we don't just clean your roof to a professional standard; we also offer a high-quality roof coating service to further protect and enhance your roof.
Roof coating (also called roof painting and roof spraying) is a protective spray applied to your roof, ideally after a thorough cleaning. It acts as a waterproof barrier, shielding your roof from the damaging effects of rain, snow, pollution, organic growth and UV rays. A roof coating can also improve the fire resistance of your roof and even add a decorative touch, with a variety of colours available.
While we typically use roof sprayers for most of our Temple Sowerby projects, there are occasions when we may need to brush the coating on.
Most roofing materials are porous to some degree, and this makes them vulnerable to the freeze-thaw cycle. Moisture gets into the tiny holes, where it freezes and expands, damaging the tiles. The constant action of freezing and thawing causes cracks in roof tiles, often allowing water to enter the loft space.
Undetected leaks are a major problem for many Temple Sowerby homeowners, as the roof timbers can rot, eventually making the structure unsafe and resulting in the expense and upheaval of roof replacement.
In addition, the porous surfaces provide ideal conditions for moss, algae and lichen to thrive. This organic growth attacks the surface of the tiles, causing severe damage over the years.
Cleaning your roof is an excellent start, but applying a good-quality roof paint prevents spores from propagating.
Finally, harmful UV rays from the sun cause the surface of the roof tiles to break down. Some of our roof coating brands contain UV-resistant materials to protect the tiles from damage.
There are several types to choose from, but the three most commonly used are:
Our roof coating service is potentially suitable for many different roof types, including:
However, the first step would be a full inspection to determine whether the roof is suitable, as some older roofing materials* may not be compatible with the process. Also, roof spraying cannot go ahead if the roof is in poor condition.
*Certain slate and clay tiles are, unfortunately, not a good match for our protective coating services.
