Roof Cleaning Services Grafham

Having your roof professionally cleaned is an affordable solution to significantly enhance your home's appearance while extending the roof's lifespan. Thorough roof cleaning eliminates unsightly moss, algae, and lichen growth, along with any persistent dark stains that spoil your roof’s appearance.
Once professionally cleaned, the transformation of your roof can be remarkable—weather-worn and discoloured tiles will regain their original vibrant shade, often appearing almost brand-new again.
Many property owners opt for a specialist external cleaning or roof restoration service in Grafham, usually to improve the visual appeal of their home. However, a heavy moss accumulation can eventually damage tiles or slates, leading to leaks and internal water issues.

Roof Moss Removal Grafham

The primary advantage of professional roof cleaning lies in its ability to effectively remove moss buildup and prevent its return for years to come. For your roof to function correctly, rainwater must flow unobstructed from the surface through gutters and downspouts, directing water safely away from your property. This is why roof cleaning is essential.

Moss accumulation creates three significant problems:

  • Functions as a water-absorbing material, holding moisture against the roof
  • When moss between tiles absorbs water and subsequently freezes, it can lead to tile damage and cracking
  • Blocks the natural drainage of rainwater across the roof surface.

Professional roof cleaners in Grafham employ two primary moss removal techniques. The first involves high-pressure washing to eliminate moss and debris, restoring tiles to their original appearance. The second method uses specialized chemical treatments applied across the entire roof surface to eliminate moss, algae, and lichen while removing stains and returning the roof to a like-new condition.

UpClean provides both roof cleaning methodologies across the UK - high-pressure cleaning and gentle softwash treatments. Our service selection depends on your roof's current state and your personal preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our proven roof cleaning method will dramatically improve the condition of an aged and stained roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we reveal the natural shade and fresh look of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof can stop future issues.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is given a biocidal wash to stop the reappearance of any organic growth. This protective layer adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Grafham

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Roof pressure washing in Grafham 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 Grafham

Through our experienced contractors, we understand how to safely eliminate 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 primary services for domestic homes. We also recognise that when working at a private property, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll conduct a full survey of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also advise you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll meet you and show you a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re properly protected 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 steps.

Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, cover sheeting is set up over any vulnerable plants if a softwash solution is being used.

Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we clean off roof lichen, eliminate roof moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we treat the surface with a powerful biocide over the full roof area to stop the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the roof drainage system, and any organic waste is either disposed of responsibly or removed from site.

Satisfied Customer

Finally, we take pictures of the finished results, and the customer gives final approval only when 100% pleased with the results.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean render surfaces. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that make buildings look neglected—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 helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. 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 left untreated, can lead to serious damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can service and maintain your gutters for domestic and business properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These surfaces, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt 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, external cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even suffer staining if left unwashed.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide a complete cladding wash-down 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 algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, returning it to its like-new look.

Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it look aged and tired due to grime and staining.

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

Soft Washing

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a greener treatment. The choice depends on the area in question and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a robust and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.

Areas we cover
