Roof Cleaning Services Arford

Professional roof cleaning is an economical way to instantly boost the curb appeal of your home and preserve the integrity of your roofing. A thorough cleaning removes troublesome moss, algae, lichen, and unattractive dark staining.

The results of a professional clean are striking. Tiles that were previously weather-beaten and darkened with age will noticeably brighten, often appearing refreshed and nearly new.

Many homeowners in Arford rely on specialist roof cleaning services primarily to restore their home's exterior attractiveness. Additionally, addressing significant moss growth is essential, as untreated moss can damage roofing tiles and lead to water entering the property.

Roof Moss Removal Arford

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 Arford 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

Our cleaning process will dramatically improve the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we reveal the natural shade and crisp appearance of the roof 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 compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof can stop future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Arford

Curious about soft wash roof cleaning? This method employs a chemical-based "wet and forget" approach, primarily using sodium hypochlorite to remove moss, algae, lichen, and grime from roof tiles or slates.

Unlike traditional high-pressure methods, soft washing gently treats your roof, significantly reducing the risk of damage, especially important for older or fragile roofing materials. The cleaning results become fully visible after a few weeks as the chemical solution continues its work.

Soft washing is also beneficial for cleaning K-Rend and similar types of render on walls. Following the cleaning and rinse-off stage, professionals apply a biocide treatment to ensure your roof remains free from future moss and algae growth.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Arford 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 Arford

Through our experienced contractors, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing a reliable experience and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

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

Here’s what you can expect:



Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll conduct a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also advise you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and provide a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any accident, such as broken roof tiles.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our steps.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, cover sheeting is set up over any delicate garden areas if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we clean off roof lichen, remove built-up moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we treat the surface with a strong biocide over the full roof area to prevent the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the guttering, and any debris is either disposed of responsibly or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

Finally, images are captured of the final outcome, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. 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 difference is clear.



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is essential to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. 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 thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

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



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using York stone. These areas, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and gentler soft wash options to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

From aluminium, external cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even develop discolouration if neglected for too long.

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 original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, restoring the material to its like-new look.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it get dirty and dull due to dirt build-up.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, restoring your conservatory to its original state.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the other relies on a environmentally conscious treatment. The method used depends on the material being cleaned and the location.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a robust and environmentally safe cleaning method is the best option.
