Roof Cleaning Services Burpham

Professional roof cleaning offers homeowners a budget-friendly approach to instantly boosting their property’s visual appeal and increasing the lifespan of the roof itself. The thorough cleaning method targets and eliminates algae, lichen, moss, and stubborn black stains, leaving the roof looking immaculate.
After cleaning, roofs previously discoloured and stained by years of exposure to the elements will regain their true colour, often appearing rejuvenated and nearly new.
Most people turn to expert Roof Cleaning Companies in Burpham because they want their homes to look their best. However, aside from appearance, it's vital to remove substantial moss growth, which, left untreated, can weaken roof tiles and allow moisture to penetrate into the property.

Roof Moss Removal Burpham

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 Burpham - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer 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. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we bring back the natural shade and clean lines of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof reduces the risk of water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
After the roof has been cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to stop the regrowth of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Burpham

We have years of experience in Soft washing a roof & this is what it involves. Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning approach, often known as a "wet and forget" method. It utilises chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite to eliminate moss, algae, lichen, and accumulated dirt from roofing materials like tiles and slates.

Unlike pressure washing, this gentle method avoids potential damage to delicate or ageing roof surfaces. Although the visual transformation isn't immediate, within several weeks the chemical agents will have thoroughly cleansed your roof, revealing a significantly cleaner look.

The technique is similarly effective for K-Rend cleaning and other rendered wall surfaces. Once cleaning is complete, a biocide treatment is applied to inhibit future moss and algae growth.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also understand that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

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

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re completely covered in case of any accident, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed about the expected timeframe to complete the work and go over our processes.

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, ground sheeting is placed over any vulnerable plants when applying the softwash solution.

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

This is the stage we clean off roof lichen, eliminate roof moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we apply a powerful biocide across the entire roof to stop 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 composted or taken away.

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, images are captured of the completed work, and the customer approves the work only when 100% pleased with the outcome.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render regains its original look.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the difference is clear.

Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is key to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even leak into the roof—all of which, if ignored, can lead to costly repairs over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can both clear and clean your gutters for home or workplace properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These areas, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and gentler soft wash options to restore the original appearance of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s glass, external cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even become stained if left unwashed.

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

UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, restoring the material to its fresh, clean state.

Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it lose its shine due to dirt build-up.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, returning your conservatory to its like-new condition.

Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the alternative is a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the material being cleaned and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and eco-friendly cleaning method is needed.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Burpham and Merrow, Bushy Hill, Abbotswood, Slyfield, Jacobs Well
