Flat roof tile or slate tile roofs are a popular kind of roof style in Vancouver and when you are wanting your tile roof cleaned you want to turn to professionals. Tile roofs require unique cleaning methods to keep them in tiptop conditions. The types of roof cleaning techniques used on flat tile roofs depend on the materials on the roof. Quick Sidekick is your best choice for flat tile roof cleaning services. We offer professional roof cleaning services within Great Vancouver.
If you are looking for a professional roof cleaning company, you are on the right track. The telltale signs of a roof that needs professional roof cleaners are:

Cleaning Techniques Tor Flat Tile Roofs:
At Quick Sidekick, we use several methods to clean flat tile roofs.
Brush Cleaning:
We use this cleaning approach on roof surfaces that have moss. For maximum results, we use special brushes to clean the roof thoroughly. Generally, we have to scrub the moss off the surface. We start from the highest point of the roof and work our way to the bottom to ensure that every tile is clean. This way, we cover every inch of the flat tile roof.
Once we are done brush cleaning the roof, we use special eco-friendly cleaning solutions to clean the surface. These cleaning solutions destroy the bacteria promoting moss growth on the roof. You wouldn’t want to pay for roof cleaning services only to spot moss growing back on your roof after two weeks.
At Quick Sidekick, we believe in being thorough and efficient in what we do. We will get rid of all the moss from the tile roof. The chemicals are friendly to the environment. You do not need to worry about toxic substances polluting your compound or yard.
We also recommend that you keep the gutters clean all year long to prevent the moss from going back on the roof. It helps to maintain the flat tile roof and reduce roof repairs. The average cost of brush cleaning, using chemicals, and cleaning the gutter ranges between $900 and $1400.
Power Washing:
Have you noticed unsightly white dots growing on the surface of your flat tile roof? Those white dots are lichen. Lichen is harmful to your roof because it holds moisture against the tile. Over time, the surface of the tile roof weakens and eventually cracks. The cracking amplifies roof deterioration forcing you into more roofing repairs and eventual roofing replacement.
We offer flat tile roof cleaning services to save you from unnecessary costs. We do so by removing the lichen using the power washing technique. Power washing gets rid of the white dots from the roof’s surface. It penetrates the surface of the tile where the lichen has latched.
Brush cleaning cleans only the surface. It cannot penetrate deep enough to remove the lichen. The process of power washing is costlier than brush cleaning. Power washing costs an average of between $2000 and $3500.
