Roof Cleaning Services Esher

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 Esher 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 Esher

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 Esher. 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 cleaning process will dramatically improve the condition of an aged and stained roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. Through the removal of all the moss, muck, and residue, we bring back the natural shade and clean lines of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by compromising tiles. Clearing away moss from the roof reduces the risk of water-related problems.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to stop the regrowth of any organic growth. This protective layer adds an extra layer of defence and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Esher

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

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Esher 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 Esher

At UpClean, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on 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 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 carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also let you know if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll meet you and present a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our processes.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we remove lichen from the roof, clear away moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we apply a strong biocide across the entire roof to discourage the regrowth of any organic matter like 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

Finally, we take pictures of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when completely satisfied with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean rendered walls. After clearing away unsightly staining—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 essential to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if ignored, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

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



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using block paving. These areas, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

Be it glass, building cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

As part of our external property care, we provide professional cladding cleaning 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 clears away the staining, restoring the material to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after putting money into a new 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 fresh appearance.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a greener treatment. The choice depends on the area in question and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

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