Roof Cleaning Services Churt

Investing in roof cleaning is a highly effective method to both enhance the curb appeal of your property and extend the life of your roofing materials. The cleaning process involves thoroughly removing growths such as algae, moss, and lichens, as well as unsightly black streaks and stains.
The difference a professional roof clean makes is dramatic; dull, weather-stained tiles that have darkened over time will typically be restored to their original vibrant colour, creating a striking before-and-after effect.

Homeowners frequently choose to engage a professional Roof Cleaning or External Property Cleaning service in Churt, primarily to improve their home's aesthetics. But beyond appearances, removing thick moss deposits is essential to prevent potential damage and water ingress into the home.

Roof Moss Removal Churt

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 Churt 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 revive the condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we restore the natural shade and fresh look of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of long-term damage.
Prevent Regrowth
After the roof has been cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to stop the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Churt

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

Cleaning roofs in Churt with a pressure washer is an environmentally friendly approach because it uses nothing but water (H₂O) to effectively remove moss, lichen, dirt, and grime. This natural method is about as eco-friendly as roof cleaning can get.

While there have been some concerns about potential roof damage from pressure washing, these risks are greatly reduced when the process is performed by skilled professionals. A trained, experienced, and insured cleaning specialist with proper equipment ensures that the cleaning is both safe and highly effective.

Pressure washing isn't limited to patios and driveways—it's highly effective in removing moss, algae, and lichen from roof tiles and slates, restoring their original appearance without harsh chemicals. After cleaning, a biocide is typically applied to keep moss and algae away long-term. Before starting any work, an inspection is conducted, and if tiles seem fragile, a gentler soft-washing method is recommended instead.

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

With our team, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing a reliable experience and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also understand that when working at a private property, 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 thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also let you know if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll greet you and present a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any unforeseen damage, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed on the estimated duration to complete the work and explain 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 prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when performing a moss removal service. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we spray a strong biocide across the entire roof to stop the future development of any moss, algae, or similar growth.

Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the roof drainage system, and any waste material is either composted or removed from site.

Satisfied Customer

At the end, photos are taken of the final outcome, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the outcome.

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 appears as good as new.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is important 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 left untreated, can lead to costly repairs 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 block paving. These areas, like most that are out in the harsh British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and soft washing to restore the original appearance of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Be it glass, cladding surfaces naturally collect grime over time and can even become stained if neglected for too long.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only clean the surface, but also revive it to as close to its former state as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, restoring the material 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 grime and staining.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, 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 other relies on a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the material being cleaned and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Churt and Barford, Green Cross, Whitmoor Vale, Crosswater, Hearn
