Roof Cleaning Services Gatwick

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 Gatwick 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 Gatwick

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 Gatwick - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

The way we clean roofs will completely transform the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that looks almost new. Through the removal of all the built-up filth and staining, we bring back the original colour and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even let water in by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent water-related problems.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to prevent the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment boosts long-term protection and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Gatwick

We have years of experience in Soft washing a roof & this is what it involves. Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning approach, often known as a "wet and forget" method. It utilises chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite to eliminate moss, algae, lichen, and accumulated dirt from roofing materials like tiles and slates.

Unlike pressure washing, this gentle method avoids potential damage to delicate or ageing roof surfaces. Although the visual transformation isn't immediate, within several weeks the chemical agents will have thoroughly cleansed your roof, revealing a significantly cleaner look.

The technique is similarly effective for K-Rend cleaning and other rendered wall surfaces. Once cleaning is complete, a biocide treatment is applied to inhibit future moss and algae growth.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Gatwick 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 Gatwick

With our team, we understand how to safely eliminate 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 specialist services for domestic homes. We also are aware 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

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as broken roof tiles.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you on the estimated duration to complete the work and explain our steps.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, ground sheeting is placed over any sensitive vegetation when applying the softwash solution.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage 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 powerful biocide to the whole surface to prevent the return of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the guttering, and any waste material is either recycled where possible or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

Finally, photos are taken of the finished results, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean rendered walls. After clearing away unsightly staining—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 essential to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can overflow down the walls 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 unblock and wash your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These hardscapes, like most that are constantly exposed to the changeable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and soft washing to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s UPVC, cladding surfaces naturally collect grime 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 original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, bringing the finish back to its original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a shame to see it look aged and tired due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, restoring your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a greener treatment. The method used depends on the material being cleaned and the environment.



Pressure Washing

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