Roof Cleaning Services Deepdene

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 Deepdene, 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 Deepdene

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 Deepdene 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 completely transform the look of an tired, discoloured roof into one that looks almost new. Through the removal of all the built-up filth and staining, we restore the natural shade and crisp appearance of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof reduces the risk of future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is given a biocidal wash to prevent the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This step adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Deepdene

What exactly is roof soft washing? Roof cleaning using the soft wash technique is essentially a "wet and forget" method, leveraging chemical solutions such as sodium hypochlorite. This method effectively eliminates moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from roof tiles or slates without using high-pressure water.

While the immediate results might not be instantly noticeable, within a few weeks, as the chemicals fully penetrate and cleanse the roof, you'll see a striking improvement. This gradual approach is ideal for delicate or aged roofing materials, helping them remain intact.

Additionally, the soft wash method is commonly used to clean K-Rend and various other rendered surfaces. After rinsing off the solution, a biocide treatment is applied to prevent future growth of moss and algae.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Deepdene 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 Deepdene

Through our experienced contractors, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing great results 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 how we approach it:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also let you know if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re properly protected in case of any accident, such as broken roof tiles.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you about the expected timeframe to complete the work and go over our processes.



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down 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. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we remove lichen from the roof, eliminate roof moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we treat the surface with a strong biocide over the full roof area to prevent the return of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, 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 final outcome, and the customer approves the work 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 cause homes to appear run-down—the render appears as good as new.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the transformation is dramatic.



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing 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 get inside through roof joints—all of which, if ignored, can lead to costly repairs over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for home or workplace properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These areas, like most that are constantly exposed to the unpredictable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and chemical-assisted soft wash treatments to revive the clean look of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

From stainless steel, cladding surfaces will eventually get dirty over time and can even suffer staining if left unwashed.

As part of our external property care, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only clean the surface, but also revive it to as close to its original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a shame to see it get dirty and dull due to grime and staining.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, restoring your conservatory to its fresh appearance.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the other relies on a environmentally conscious treatment. The choice depends on the material being cleaned and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and chemical-free cleaning method is the best option.
