Roof Cleaning Services Fairlands

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 Fairlands, 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 Fairlands

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 Fairlands 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. Once we eliminate all the moss, muck, and residue, 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 over time cause structural problems and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent long-term damage.
Prevent Regrowth
Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to stop the return of any organic growth. This step helps protect the roof and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Fairlands

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Fairlands 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 Fairlands

With our team, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing great results and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

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

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll complete a full survey of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also advise you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any accident, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed 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

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we remove lichen from the roof, eliminate roof moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we apply a powerful biocide across the entire roof to prevent 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

At the end, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer approves the work only when completely satisfied with the results.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean render surfaces. 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 difference is clear.

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is key to preventing water from damaging your property. 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 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 home or workplace properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These areas, like most that are out in the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and soft washing to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s stainless steel, building cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even suffer staining if neglected for too long.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only remove dirt, but also restore it to as close to its former state as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, returning it to its fresh, clean state.

Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown 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, bringing your conservatory to its like-new condition.

Soft Washing

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

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 required.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Fairlands and Littlefield Common, Rydeshill, Worplesdon, Wood Street Village, Stoughton
