Roof Cleaning Services Alfold

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 Alfold 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 Alfold

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 Alfold 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 completely transform the appearance of an aged and stained roof into one that looks almost new. Once we eliminate all the built-up filth and staining, we bring back the true finish and crisp appearance of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to discourage the return of moss, lichen, and algae. This step adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Alfold

If you're wondering what soft washing for roofs involves, it's a chemical-based cleaning process, often described as "wet and forget," using specialised agents like sodium hypochlorite. Unlike the intense force of pressure washing, soft washing gently but thoroughly removes unwanted moss, algae, lichen, and grime from tiles or slates.

Although results take time, usually a few weeks, the wait ensures chemicals deeply cleanse and restore the roof’s appearance. This gentle process is particularly suited for older roofs that might suffer damage from aggressive cleaning. The soft wash method is also highly effective for cleaning K-Rend and other rendered surfaces.

Following this treatment, a biocide is applied to safeguard against moss and algae returning.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in Alfold. 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 Alfold

With our team, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing a reliable experience and delivering a fantastic finish 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 essential to act thoughtfully 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 before-and-after comparison. We’ll also inform you if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re fully insured in case of any accident, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know on the estimated duration to complete the work and explain our processes.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, ground sheeting is placed over any sensitive vegetation in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we remove lichen from the roof, 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 strong biocide to the whole surface to stop the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the roof drainage system, and any debris is either composted or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, we take pictures of the final outcome, and the customer approves the work only when completely satisfied with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean render surfaces. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render appears as good as new.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if left untreated, can lead to costly repairs over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can both clear and clean your gutters for domestic and business properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using block paving. These surfaces, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

From glass, external cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even become stained if neglected for too long.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only remove dirt, but also revive it to as close to its original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it lose its shine due to algae growth.

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



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the alternative is a greener treatment. The method used depends on the type of surface and the environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.
