Roof Cleaning Services Godalming

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 Godalming, 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 Godalming

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 Godalming 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

Our proven roof cleaning method will completely transform the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that looks almost new. Once we eliminate all the dirt and grime, we reveal the true finish and clean lines of the slates or shingles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Getting rid of moss from the roof reduces the risk of water-related problems.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to stop the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This step helps protect the roof and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Godalming

What exactly is roof soft washing? Roof cleaning using the soft wash technique is essentially a "wet and forget" method, leveraging chemical solutions such as sodium hypochlorite. This method effectively eliminates moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from roof tiles or slates without using high-pressure water.

While the immediate results might not be instantly noticeable, within a few weeks, as the chemicals fully penetrate and cleanse the roof, you'll see a striking improvement. This gradual approach is ideal for delicate or aged roofing materials, helping them remain intact.

Additionally, the soft wash method is commonly used to clean K-Rend and various other rendered surfaces. After rinsing off the solution, a biocide treatment is applied to prevent future growth of moss and algae.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

With our team, we specialise in clearing 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 specialist services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when working at a private property, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:



Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll complete a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also inform you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as broken roof tiles.



Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know how long the job should take to complete the work and go over our processes.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, ground sheeting is placed over any delicate garden areas in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when performing a moss removal service. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and treat roof algae—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 prevent the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the roof drainage system, and any organic waste is either composted or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

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

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean rendered walls. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render appears as good as new.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is essential 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 both clear and clean your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using block paving. These surfaces, like most that are subject to the harsh British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and soft washing to restore the original appearance of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s aluminium, external cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even become stained if not maintained.

As part of our external property care, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only clean the surface, but also bring it back to as close to its former state as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after investing heavily in your 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 wash off discolouration and buildup, returning your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the second uses a greener treatment. The method used depends on the material being cleaned and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a stronger and environmentally safe cleaning method is needed.
