Roof Cleaning Services Artington

Investing in roof cleaning is a highly effective method to both enhance the curb appeal of your property and extend the life of your roofing materials. The cleaning process involves thoroughly removing growths such as algae, moss, and lichens, as well as unsightly black streaks and stains.
The difference a professional roof clean makes is dramatic; dull, weather-stained tiles that have darkened over time will typically be restored to their original vibrant colour, creating a striking before-and-after effect.

Homeowners frequently choose to engage a professional Roof Cleaning or External Property Cleaning service in Artington, primarily to improve their home's aesthetics. But beyond appearances, removing thick moss deposits is essential to prevent potential damage and water ingress into the home.

Roof Moss Removal Artington

Questioning the necessity of roof cleaning services? The key benefit is its unmatched effectiveness in moss removal and prevention lasting multiple years. Optimal roof performance requires clear water pathways from surface to gutters to downspouts, directing moisture away from your property. Moss buildup interferes with this process through three mechanisms:

Behaves as a water absorbing sponge, holding moisture against roofing materials
Creates tile damage when water-filled moss undergoes freeze-thaw expansion
Restricts normal rainwater flow

Professional moss removal in the UK employs two established methods. High-pressure washing eliminates moss and surface deposits while restoring original tile beauty. Alternatively, chemical treatment covers the complete roof area with solutions designed to kill all organic matter including moss, algae, and lichen, removing stains and achieving a revitalized appearance.

UpClean provides both cleaning services across Artington - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

The way we clean roofs will dramatically improve the look of an tired, discoloured roof into one that appears freshly installed. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we bring back the original colour and clean lines of the slates or shingles.

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. Clearing away moss from the roof reduces the risk of long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to discourage the reappearance of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment boosts long-term protection and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Artington

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Artington 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 Artington

Through our experienced contractors, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing a reliable experience and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when servicing residential clients, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll conduct a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll meet you and show you a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as cracked slates.



Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed how long the job should take to complete the work and walk you through our processes.



Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, cover sheeting is set up over any sensitive vegetation when applying the softwash solution.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when performing a moss removal service. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we remove lichen from the roof, clear away moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we apply 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 gutters, and any debris is either disposed of responsibly or hauled off.



Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, photos are taken 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 exterior render, including K-Rend. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render regains its original look.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even enter through the roofline—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 unblock and wash your gutters for domestic and business properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These surfaces, like most that are constantly exposed to the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and gentler soft wash options to revive the clean look of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Be it glass, building cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even suffer staining if left unwashed.

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



UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, restoring the material to its original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a shame to see it get dirty and dull due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, restoring your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a more eco-friendly treatment. The choice depends on the material being cleaned and the environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is the best option.
