Roof Cleaning Services Addlestone

Having your roof professionally cleaned is an affordable solution to significantly enhance your home's appearance while extending the roof's lifespan. Thorough roof cleaning eliminates unsightly moss, algae, and lichen growth, along with any persistent dark stains that spoil your roof’s appearance.
Once professionally cleaned, the transformation of your roof can be remarkable—weather-worn and discoloured tiles will regain their original vibrant shade, often appearing almost brand-new again.
Many property owners opt for a specialist external cleaning or roof restoration service in Addlestone, usually to improve the visual appeal of their home. However, a heavy moss accumulation can eventually damage tiles or slates, leading to leaks and internal water issues.

Roof Moss Removal Addlestone

The primary advantage of professional roof cleaning lies in its ability to effectively remove moss buildup and prevent its return for years to come. For your roof to function correctly, rainwater must flow unobstructed from the surface through gutters and downspouts, directing water safely away from your property. This is why roof cleaning is essential.

Moss accumulation creates three significant problems:

  • Functions as a water-absorbing material, holding moisture against the roof
  • When moss between tiles absorbs water and subsequently freezes, it can lead to tile damage and cracking
  • Blocks the natural drainage of rainwater across the roof surface.

Professional roof cleaners in Addlestone employ two primary moss removal techniques. The first involves high-pressure washing to eliminate moss and debris, restoring tiles to their original appearance. The second method uses specialized chemical treatments applied across the entire roof surface to eliminate moss, algae, and lichen while removing stains and returning the roof to a like-new condition.

UpClean provides both roof cleaning methodologies across the UK - high-pressure cleaning and gentle softwash treatments. Our service selection depends on your roof's current state and your personal preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
The way we clean roofs will dramatically improve the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. Through the removal of all the built-up filth and staining, we reveal the natural shade and clean lines of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Having a build-up of moss on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof can stop water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is treated with a biocide to discourage the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer helps protect the roof and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Addlestone

What exactly is roof soft washing? Roof cleaning using the soft wash technique is essentially a "wet and forget" method, leveraging chemical solutions such as sodium hypochlorite. This method effectively eliminates moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from roof tiles or slates without using high-pressure water.

While the immediate results might not be instantly noticeable, within a few weeks, as the chemicals fully penetrate and cleanse the roof, you'll see a striking improvement. This gradual approach is ideal for delicate or aged roofing materials, helping them remain intact.

Additionally, the soft wash method is commonly used to clean K-Rend and various other rendered surfaces. After rinsing off the solution, a biocide treatment is applied to prevent future growth of moss and algae.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in Addlestone. Since this method exclusively uses water (H₂O), it naturally and effectively clears away moss, algae, dirt, and lichen without chemicals.

Despite occasional reports of roof damage from high-pressure methods, the risk is minimised by hiring experienced, professionally trained, and insured cleaners who use the correct equipment to ensure optimal outcomes.

Apart from cleaning patios and driveways, pressure washing provides superior results for roofs by effectively removing moss, algae, lichen, and other growths, revitalising tiles or slates to their original appearance. To prevent regrowth of moss and algae, a biocide is usually applied after cleaning. A detailed inspection precedes any cleaning, and if roof tiles are found to be older or fragile, professionals will opt for a safer, softer cleaning method.

UpClean Roof Cleaners – What to Expect from our Service in Addlestone

At UpClean, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing great results and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also recognise that when working at a private property, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll carry out a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also inform you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed on the estimated duration to complete the work and explain our procedures.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed over any delicate garden areas in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.

Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when performing a moss removal service. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we clean off roof lichen, remove built-up moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we treat the surface with a high-grade biocide across the entire roof to discourage the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the guttering, and any waste material is either composted or hauled off.

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, photos are taken of the final outcome, and the customer gives final approval only when completely satisfied with the outcome.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean render surfaces. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render regains its original look.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the transformation is dramatic.

Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is key to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even leak into the roof—all of which, if not resolved, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can service and maintain your gutters for home or workplace properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These surfaces, like most that are out in the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and soft washing to bring back the natural finish of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From glass, cladding surfaces naturally collect grime over time and can even develop discolouration if left unwashed.

As part of our external property care, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only strip away buildup, but also revive it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, restoring the material to its original condition.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it get dirty and dull due to grime and staining.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, bringing your conservatory to its original state.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the other relies on a environmentally conscious treatment. The choice depends on the material being cleaned and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a stronger and environmentally safe cleaning method is the best option.
