Roof Cleaning Services Broadford

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 Broadford 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 Broadford

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 Broadford 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 proven roof cleaning method will dramatically improve the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the moss, muck, and residue, we restore the original colour and fresh look of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Getting rid of moss from the roof reduces the risk of long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is treated with a biocide to prevent the reappearance of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Broadford

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 Broadford. 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 Broadford

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

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

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll complete a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also advise you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll meet you and show you a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re fully insured 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 procedures.



Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, cover sheeting is set up over any delicate garden areas in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when performing a moss removal service. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we remove lichen from the roof, eliminate roof 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 across the entire roof to prevent the future development 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 composted or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

Finally, we take pictures of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when entirely happy with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques 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 difference is clear.



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is important to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. 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 not resolved, can lead to serious damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can service and maintain your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using block paving. These hardscapes, like most that are constantly exposed to the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

Be it UPVC, building cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even become stained if neglected for too long.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only clean the surface, but also revive it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, returning it to its original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a shame to see it lose its shine due to grime and staining.

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



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the other relies on a environmentally conscious treatment. The method used depends on the area in question and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is needed.
