Roof Cleaning Services Burrowhill

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 Burrowhill 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 Burrowhill

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 Burrowhill - 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 condition of an aged and stained roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. Once we eliminate all the moss, muck, and residue, we restore the true finish and clean lines of the tiles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even allow moisture to seep through by compromising tiles. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent future issues.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is given a biocidal wash to stop the regrowth of moss, lichen, and algae. This protective layer boosts long-term protection and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Burrowhill

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

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Burrowhill 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 Burrowhill

At UpClean, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing outstanding service 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 full survey of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also inform you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll greet you and show you a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as broken roof tiles.

Customer Liaise

We will advise you about the expected timeframe to complete the work and walk you through our steps.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, a protective sheet is laid down over any delicate garden areas when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when carrying out moss removal. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

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

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we spray a powerful biocide to the whole surface to discourage the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the gutters, and any organic waste is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render looks refreshed.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is important to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if ignored, can lead to serious damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for residential and commercial properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These surfaces, like most that are constantly exposed to the changeable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and gentler soft wash options to bring back the natural finish of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From UPVC, external cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even develop discolouration if neglected for too long.

As part of our external property care, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only remove dirt, but also restore it to as close to its former state 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, bringing the finish back to its fresh, clean state.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a shame 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, restoring your conservatory to its fresh appearance.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a environmentally conscious treatment. The approach we take depends on the type of surface and the location.

Pressure Washing

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

Areas we cover
