Roof Cleaning Services Ash Vale

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 Ash Vale 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 Ash Vale

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 Ash Vale 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 condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the built-up filth and staining, we reveal the natural shade and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by compromising tiles. Clearing away moss from the roof can stop water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
After the roof has been cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to discourage the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This step helps protect the roof and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Ash Vale

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

Through our experienced contractors, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing great results and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist 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 we aim to deliver each time:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll carry out a full survey of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also inform you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll greet you and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re fully insured in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know about the expected timeframe to complete the work and walk you through our steps.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed 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. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we clean off roof lichen, clear away moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we spray a powerful biocide over the full roof area to discourage the future development of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

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

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, images are captured of the finished results, and the customer approves the work only when entirely happy with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render regains its original look.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is key to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even leak into the roof—all of which, if left untreated, can lead to costly repairs 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 block paving. These surfaces, like most that are out in the changeable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

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

Cladding Cleaning

Be it aluminium, cladding surfaces naturally collect grime over time and can even suffer staining if not maintained.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only clean the surface, 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 effectively cleans the surface, bringing the finish back to its original condition.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a shame to see it look aged and tired due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, bringing your conservatory to its fresh appearance.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the other relies on a environmentally conscious treatment. The method used depends on the area in question and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a more intensive and eco-friendly cleaning method is the best option.
