Roof Cleaning Services Burrows Cross

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 Burrows Cross 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 Burrows Cross

Wondering about the importance of roof maintenance? Roof cleaning stands out as the most effective method for moss removal and long-term prevention. Proper roof drainage requires unimpeded water flow from surface to gutters to downspouts, ensuring water moves away from your building.

  • Moss growth disrupts this system in three critical ways:
  • Creates a moisture-retaining barrier on your roof
  • Causes potential tile fractures when moss-trapped water expands during freezing
  • Disrupts natural water drainage

Roof cleaning professionals utilise two proven approaches for moss elimination. Power washing removes moss and surface contaminants while revitalising the tile appearance. Chemical application involves treating the entire roof with solutions that eliminate all organic growth including moss, algae, and lichen, while addressing discoloration to achieve a refreshed look. UpClean delivers both cleaning solutions for Burrows Cross properties. These are power washing for roofs and softwash cleaning. We determine the most suitable approach based on roof condition assessment and customer requirements.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our proven roof cleaning method will completely transform the condition of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the moss, muck, and residue, we bring back the true finish and clean lines of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even let water in by widening gaps. Removing moss from the roof can stop future issues.
Prevent Regrowth
Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to prevent the return of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Burrows Cross

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

Roof pressure washing in Burrows Cross is a highly effective, environmentally conscious method, utilising only water (H₂O) to remove stubborn moss, lichen, and built-up grime. It’s as natural and chemical-free as roof cleaning methods can be.

Despite some negative perceptions around pressure washing causing roof damage, choosing a reputable, experienced, and fully insured professional cleaning company ensures safe and impressive outcomes.

Beyond patios and driveways, pressure washing is ideal for roofs, eliminating moss, algae, and lichen growths, reviving tiles and slates to their original beauty without hazardous chemicals. After completion, a biocide treatment is used to inhibit future growth. Every roof undergoes a thorough assessment prior to cleaning, and if older or delicate tiles are identified, professionals will suggest the gentler soft wash approach.

UpClean Roof Cleaners – What to Expect from our Service in Burrows Cross

With our team, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a fantastic finish 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 important to be respectful at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:

Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll complete a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re fully insured in case of any accident, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed on the estimated duration to complete the work and explain our processes.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed 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. We clean the gutters once this is done.

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

When the roof-washing is complete, we treat the surface with a powerful biocide across the entire roof to stop the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.

Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the guttering, and any debris is either recycled where possible or removed from site.

Satisfied Customer

At the end, images are captured of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean rendered walls. Once those black or green stains are removed—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

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 leak into the roof—all of which, if ignored, can lead to serious 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

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 surfaces, like most that are out in the unpredictable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and soft washing to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From aluminium, cladding surfaces tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even develop discolouration if neglected for too long.

As part of our external property care, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only remove dirt, but also bring it back to as close to its initial appearance 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, 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 letdown to see it lose its shine due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, bringing 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 area in question and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a stronger and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Burrows Cross and Hoe, Sutton Abinger, Gomshall, Abinger Hammer, Shere
