Roof Cleaning Services Buckland

Having your roof professionally cleaned is an affordable solution to significantly enhance your home's appearance while extending the roof's lifespan. Thorough roof cleaning eliminates unsightly moss, algae, and lichen growth, along with any persistent dark stains that spoil your roof’s appearance.
Once professionally cleaned, the transformation of your roof can be remarkable—weather-worn and discoloured tiles will regain their original vibrant shade, often appearing almost brand-new again.
Many property owners opt for a specialist external cleaning or roof restoration service in Buckland, usually to improve the visual appeal of their home. However, a heavy moss accumulation can eventually damage tiles or slates, leading to leaks and internal water issues.

Roof Moss Removal Buckland

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 Buckland 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 completely transform the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that looks almost new. Once we eliminate all the built-up filth and staining, we bring back the natural shade and clean lines of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even result in leaks by compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is given a biocidal wash to prevent the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment helps protect the roof and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Buckland

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

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Buckland is an eco-friendly and highly effective approach. Because it relies solely on water (H₂O), it's essentially a chemical-free way to naturally remove moss, lichen, and accumulated grime from roofs.

While pressure washing roofs has sometimes been associated with causing damage, engaging a professional and fully insured cleaning service with the proper skills and equipment significantly mitigates these risks, ensuring excellent results.

Not just for driveways and patios, pressure washing is highly beneficial for roofs, removing moss and other unsightly growth like algae and lichen, bringing tiles and slates back to life without using potentially harmful chemicals. Afterward, applying a biocide helps to prevent moss and algae regrowth for years. Each roof is individually inspected, and if tiles appear fragile, soft washing is recommended instead.

UpClean Roof Cleaners – What to Expect from our Service in Buckland

With our team, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing outstanding service and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also recognise 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, documenting with pictures for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll greet you and present a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re properly protected in case of any accident, such as cracked slates.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we remove lichen from the roof, eliminate roof moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we treat the surface with a strong biocide across the entire roof to discourage the return of any organic matter like algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

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



Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, images are captured of the final outcome, and the customer approves the work only when completely satisfied with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean rendered walls. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—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 helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if ignored, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

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



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using York stone. These surfaces, like most that are subject to the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and chemical-assisted soft wash treatments to restore the original appearance of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Be it stainless steel, external cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if left unwashed.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only remove dirt, but also restore 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, restoring the material to its original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a letdown 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 original state.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, 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 applied to roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is needed.
