Roof Cleaning Services Egham Hythe

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 Egham Hythe, 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 Egham Hythe

Wondering about the importance of roof maintenance? Roof cleaning stands out as the most effective method for moss removal and long-term prevention. Proper roof drainage requires unimpeded water flow from surface to gutters to downspouts, ensuring water moves away from your building.

Moss growth disrupts this system in three critical ways:

Creates a moisture-retaining barrier on your roof
Causes potential tile fractures when moss-trapped water expands during freezing
Disrupts natural water drainage

Roof cleaning professionals utilise two proven approaches for moss elimination. Power washing removes moss and surface contaminants while revitalising the tile appearance. Chemical application involves treating the entire roof with solutions that eliminate all organic growth including moss, algae, and lichen, while addressing discoloration to achieve a refreshed look. UpClean delivers both cleaning solutions for Egham Hythe properties. These are power washing for roofs and softwash cleaning. We determine the most suitable approach based on roof condition assessment and customer requirements.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

The way we clean roofs will dramatically improve the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we bring back the original colour and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Clearing away 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 discourage the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment helps protect the roof and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Egham Hythe

Curious about soft wash roof cleaning? This method employs a chemical-based "wet and forget" approach, primarily using sodium hypochlorite to remove moss, algae, lichen, and grime from roof tiles or slates.

Unlike traditional high-pressure methods, soft washing gently treats your roof, significantly reducing the risk of damage, especially important for older or fragile roofing materials. The cleaning results become fully visible after a few weeks as the chemical solution continues its work.

Soft washing is also beneficial for cleaning K-Rend and similar types of render on walls. Following the cleaning and rinse-off stage, professionals apply a biocide treatment to ensure your roof remains free from future moss and algae growth.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Egham Hythe 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 Egham Hythe

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s important to be respectful at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll carry out a full survey of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also inform you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re properly protected in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know about the expected timeframe to complete the work and walk you through our steps.



Preparation

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



Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we clean off roof lichen, eliminate roof moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we apply a powerful biocide to the whole surface to discourage the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the gutters, and any debris is either disposed of responsibly 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 quality of the job.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. 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 change is like night and day.



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is key to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if ignored, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using block paving. These surfaces, 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 jet washing and soft washing to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

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

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only clean the surface, but also bring it back to as close to its former state as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, bringing the finish back to its like-new look.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after spending a lot on building a 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, restoring your conservatory to its fresh appearance.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a environmentally conscious treatment. The approach we take depends on the type of surface and the environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is required.
