Roof Cleaning Services Farnham

Professional roof cleaning is an economical way to instantly boost the curb appeal of your home and preserve the integrity of your roofing. A thorough cleaning removes troublesome moss, algae, lichen, and unattractive dark staining.

The results of a professional clean are striking. Tiles that were previously weather-beaten and darkened with age will noticeably brighten, often appearing refreshed and nearly new.

Many homeowners in Farnham rely on specialist roof cleaning services primarily to restore their home's exterior attractiveness. Additionally, addressing significant moss growth is essential, as untreated moss can damage roofing tiles and lead to water entering the property.

Roof Moss Removal Farnham

Questioning the necessity of roof cleaning services? The key benefit is its unmatched effectiveness in moss removal and prevention lasting multiple years. Optimal roof performance requires clear water pathways from surface to gutters to downspouts, directing moisture away from your property. Moss buildup interferes with this process through three mechanisms:

  • Behaves as a water absorbing sponge, holding moisture against roofing materials
  • Creates tile damage when water-filled moss undergoes freeze-thaw expansion
  • Restricts normal rainwater flow

Professional moss removal in the UK employs two established methods. High-pressure washing eliminates moss and surface deposits while restoring original tile beauty. Alternatively, chemical treatment covers the complete roof area with solutions designed to kill all organic matter including moss, algae, and lichen, removing stains and achieving a revitalized appearance.

UpClean provides both cleaning services across Farnham - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our proven roof cleaning method will revive the condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that looks almost new. By removing all the built-up filth and staining, we restore the original colour and fresh look of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Having a build-up of moss on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by compromising tiles. Getting rid of moss from the roof can stop future issues.
Prevent Regrowth
Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the regrowth of any organic growth. This step boosts long-term protection and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Farnham

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

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in Farnham. 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 Farnham

At UpClean, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core 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 how we approach it:

Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll carry out a full survey of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re properly protected in case of any incident, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed about the expected timeframe to complete the work and walk you through our processes.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed over any delicate garden areas when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked 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 carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we spray a powerful biocide over the full roof area to stop the future development of any moss, algae, or similar growth.

Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the gutters, and any organic waste is either disposed of responsibly or hauled off.

Satisfied Customer

Finally, photos are taken of the final outcome, and the customer signs off on the job only when entirely happy with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render appears as good as new.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is essential to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if not resolved, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can both clear and clean your gutters for domestic and business properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using block paving. These surfaces, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can become extremely dirty 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

From UPVC, building cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even become stained if left unwashed.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only remove dirt, but also restore it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, returning it to its original condition.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it look aged and tired due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, returning your conservatory to its like-new condition.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the type of surface and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a stronger and environmentally safe cleaning method is needed.
