Roof Cleaning Services Farnborough

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 Farnborough, 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 Farnborough

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 Farnborough. 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 completely transform the look of an tired, discoloured roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. Once we eliminate all the moss, muck, and residue, we restore the original colour and crisp appearance of the roof tiles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof helps prevent long-term damage.
Prevent Regrowth
After the roof has been cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the reappearance of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment boosts long-term protection and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Farnborough

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Roof pressure washing in Farnborough is a highly effective, environmentally conscious method, utilising only water (H₂O) to remove stubborn moss, lichen, and built-up grime. It’s as natural and chemical-free as roof cleaning methods can be.

Despite some negative perceptions around pressure washing causing roof damage, choosing a reputable, experienced, and fully insured professional cleaning company ensures safe and impressive outcomes.

Beyond patios and driveways, pressure washing is ideal for roofs, eliminating moss, algae, and lichen growths, reviving tiles and slates to their original beauty without hazardous chemicals. After completion, a biocide treatment is used to inhibit future growth. Every roof undergoes a thorough assessment prior to cleaning, and if older or delicate tiles are identified, professionals will suggest the gentler soft wash approach.

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

Through our experienced contractors, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing a reliable experience and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also recognise that when servicing residential clients, it’s essential to act thoughtfully 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 visual record. We’ll also advise you if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and provide a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any unforeseen damage, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know on the estimated duration to complete the work and walk you through our procedures.

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down over any delicate garden areas when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

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

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we treat the surface with a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to stop the return of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the guttering, and any waste material is either recycled where possible or removed from site.

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, we take pictures of the final outcome, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the results.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean render surfaces. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render appears as good as new.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the difference is clear.

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is important to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if not resolved, 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 premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These hardscapes, like most that are out in the unpredictable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt 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 naturally collect grime 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 remove dirt, but also bring it back to as close to its initial appearance as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, 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 putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a shame to see it lose its shine due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, restoring your conservatory to its fresh appearance.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the second uses a greener treatment. The method used depends on the area in question and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and eco-friendly cleaning method is required.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Farnborough and Farnborough Park, Farnborough Street, Rafborough, South Farnborough, West Heath
