Roof Cleaning Services Dorking

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 Dorking, 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 Dorking

Is professional roof cleaning worthwhile? Absolutely - it remains the premier solution for moss eradication and sustained protection. Your roof's drainage system depends on unrestricted water movement from tiles through gutters to downspouts, channelling water safely from your structure. Moss development creates three major complications:

Operates like a moisture reservoir, trapping water on the roof
Results in tile cracking when water-saturated moss expands through freeze-thaw cycles
Impedes proper rainwater runoff

Two main techniques exist for roof moss treatment in Dorking. Pressure cleaning blasts away moss and surface build up, restoring the original tile aesthetics. Chemical treatment involves comprehensive roof application of solutions that destroy all living organisms such as moss, algae, and lichen, while eliminating staining for a renewed appearance. UpClean offers both cleaning approaches throughout the UK - pressure washing and soft-washing. The type decided on is determined by roof condition evaluation and customer preference.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

Our proven roof cleaning method will revive the look of an old and dirty roof into one that looks almost new. Once we eliminate 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 over time cause structural problems and even let water in by compromising tiles. Getting rid of moss from the roof reduces the risk of future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This step adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Dorking

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in Dorking. Since this method exclusively uses water (H₂O), it naturally and effectively clears away moss, algae, dirt, and lichen without chemicals.

Despite occasional reports of roof damage from high-pressure methods, the risk is minimised by hiring experienced, professionally trained, and insured cleaners who use the correct equipment to ensure optimal outcomes.

Apart from cleaning patios and driveways, pressure washing provides superior results for roofs by effectively removing moss, algae, lichen, and other growths, revitalising tiles or slates to their original appearance. To prevent regrowth of moss and algae, a biocide is usually applied after cleaning. A detailed inspection precedes any cleaning, and if roof tiles are found to be older or fragile, professionals will opt for a safer, softer cleaning method.

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

With our team, we specialise in clearing 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 recognise that when working at a private property, 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 detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also advise you if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll greet you and show you a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our procedures.



Preparation

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



Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, 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 perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we apply 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

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the guttering, and any waste material is either composted or hauled off.



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 results.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render regains its original look.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even enter through the roofline—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 home or workplace properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using block paving. These hardscapes, like most that are subject to the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and gentler soft wash options to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

From aluminium, building cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only clean the surface, but also restore it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, restoring the material to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a pity to see it look aged and tired 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

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, 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 surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a more intensive and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.
