Roof Cleaning Services Hammer

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 Hammer 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 Hammer

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 Hammer 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 cleaning process will completely transform the appearance of an aged and stained roof into one that looks almost new. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we reveal the natural shade and crisp appearance of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof can stop long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to discourage the return of any organic growth. This final treatment boosts long-term protection and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Hammer

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

With our team, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing outstanding service and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when servicing residential clients, it’s important to be respectful at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:



Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll conduct a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also inform 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, demonstrating that we’re fully insured in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

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



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when performing a moss removal service. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we spray a strong biocide across the entire roof to prevent the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the gutters, and any waste material is either composted or hauled off.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean render surfaces. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—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 important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even leak into the roof—all of which, if ignored, 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 York stone. These surfaces, like most that are subject to the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and gentler soft wash options to revive the clean look of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s UPVC, building cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if neglected for too long.

As part of our external property care, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only strip away buildup, but also restore it 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, restoring the material to its like-new look.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a shame to see it get dirty and dull due to dirt build-up.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, restoring your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the alternative is a environmentally conscious treatment. The choice depends on the area in question and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and environmentally safe cleaning method is the best option.
