Roof Cleaning Services Cranleigh

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 Cranleigh 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 Cranleigh

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 Cranleigh - 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 old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we reveal the natural shade and clean lines of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even allow moisture to seep through by compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to stop the regrowth of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment boosts long-term protection and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Cranleigh

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Cranleigh 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 Cranleigh

With our team, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing great results and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also recognise that when servicing residential clients, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:



Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a visual record. We’ll also inform you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll greet you and present a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re completely covered in case of any accident, 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 processes.



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, ground sheeting is placed over any sensitive vegetation if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we spray a powerful biocide to the whole surface to stop the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the gutters, and any debris is either composted or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, images are captured of the finished results, 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 rendered walls. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render regains its original look.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is important to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes overfilled, 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 service and maintain your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These areas, like most that are constantly exposed to the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime 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 glass, building cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if neglected for too long.

As part of our external property care, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only clean the surface, but also bring it back to as close to its initial appearance 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 pity 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, returning your conservatory to its original state.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the second uses a environmentally conscious treatment. The approach we take depends on the type of surface and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is needed.
