Roof Cleaning Services Cobham

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 Cobham 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 Cobham

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 Cobham - 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 revive the appearance of an tired, discoloured roof into one that looks almost new. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we reveal the true finish and clean lines of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even allow moisture to seep through by widening gaps. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent future issues.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is treated with a biocide to discourage the reappearance of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment helps protect the roof and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Cobham

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

Cleaning roofs in Cobham 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 Cobham

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate 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 specialist services for domestic homes. We also understand that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s our job to be considerate 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, capturing images for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also advise you if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll meet you and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know how long the job should take to complete the work and walk you through our procedures.

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, cover sheeting is set up over any delicate garden areas in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we apply a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to discourage the future development of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

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

Satisfied Customer

Finally, photos are taken of the finished results, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the results.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean render surfaces. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render looks refreshed.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can spill over the sides 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 residential and commercial properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

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

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

Cladding Cleaning

Be it glass, external cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even become stained if left unwashed.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only remove dirt, but also bring it back to as close to its original condition 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

As with UPVC surfaces, 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 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 involves Hypo, while the second uses a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the area in question and the specific site conditions.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Cobham and Fairmile, Stoke D Abernon, Downside, Hatchford, Whiteley Village
