Roof Cleaning Services Aldershot

Professional roof cleaning offers homeowners a budget-friendly approach to instantly boosting their property’s visual appeal and increasing the lifespan of the roof itself. The thorough cleaning method targets and eliminates algae, lichen, moss, and stubborn black stains, leaving the roof looking immaculate.
After cleaning, roofs previously discoloured and stained by years of exposure to the elements will regain their true colour, often appearing rejuvenated and nearly new.
Most people turn to expert Roof Cleaning Companies in Aldershot because they want their homes to look their best. However, aside from appearance, it's vital to remove substantial moss growth, which, left untreated, can weaken roof tiles and allow moisture to penetrate into the property.

Roof Moss Removal Aldershot

Wondering about the importance of roof maintenance? Roof cleaning stands out as the most effective method for moss removal and long-term prevention. Proper roof drainage requires unimpeded water flow from surface to gutters to downspouts, ensuring water moves away from your building.

  • Moss growth disrupts this system in three critical ways:
  • Creates a moisture-retaining barrier on your roof
  • Causes potential tile fractures when moss-trapped water expands during freezing
  • Disrupts natural water drainage

Roof cleaning professionals utilise two proven approaches for moss elimination. Power washing removes moss and surface contaminants while revitalising the tile appearance. Chemical application involves treating the entire roof with solutions that eliminate all organic growth including moss, algae, and lichen, while addressing discoloration to achieve a refreshed look. UpClean delivers both cleaning solutions for Aldershot properties. These are power washing for roofs and softwash cleaning. We determine the most suitable approach based on roof condition assessment and customer requirements.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our cleaning process will dramatically improve the condition of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the built-up filth and staining, we restore the original colour and clean lines of the tiles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Getting rid of moss from the roof helps prevent water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is given a biocidal wash to discourage the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer boosts long-term protection and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Aldershot

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

Cleaning roofs in Aldershot with a pressure washer is an environmentally friendly approach because it uses nothing but water (H₂O) to effectively remove moss, lichen, dirt, and grime. This natural method is about as eco-friendly as roof cleaning can get.

While there have been some concerns about potential roof damage from pressure washing, these risks are greatly reduced when the process is performed by skilled professionals. A trained, experienced, and insured cleaning specialist with proper equipment ensures that the cleaning is both safe and highly effective.

Pressure washing isn't limited to patios and driveways—it's highly effective in removing moss, algae, and lichen from roof tiles and slates, restoring their original appearance without harsh chemicals. After cleaning, a biocide is typically applied to keep moss and algae away long-term. Before starting any work, an inspection is conducted, and if tiles seem fragile, a gentler soft-washing method is recommended instead.

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

Through our experienced contractors, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing great results and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also recognise that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:

Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also let you know if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any unforeseen damage, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know on the estimated duration to complete the work and walk you through our steps.

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, cover sheeting is set up over any delicate garden areas if a softwash solution is being used.

Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we treat the surface with a strong biocide over the full roof area to prevent the regrowth of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the roof drainage system, and any organic waste is either composted or removed from site.

Satisfied Customer

At the end, we take pictures of the final outcome, and the customer gives final approval only when completely satisfied with the results.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean rendered walls. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render appears as good as new.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the change is like night and day.

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is key to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if ignored, can lead to costly repairs over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can both clear and clean your gutters for home or workplace properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These hardscapes, like most that are constantly exposed to the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and soft washing to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Be it stainless steel, building cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even become stained if not maintained.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only remove dirt, but also restore it to as close to its former state as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, bringing the finish back to its like-new look.

Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it look aged and tired 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

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a more eco-friendly treatment. The method used depends on the type of surface and the specific site conditions.

Pressure Washing

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

Areas we cover
