Roof Cleaning Services Hersham

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 Hersham 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 Hersham

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 Hersham - 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 revive the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that looks almost new. Once we eliminate all the dirt and grime, we bring back the original colour and fresh look of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even let water in by compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to stop the regrowth of algae, moss, or lichen. This step adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Hersham

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing a reliable experience 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 servicing residential clients, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

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



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll meet you and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re properly protected in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our processes.



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, ground sheeting is placed over any delicate garden areas when applying the softwash solution.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we remove lichen from the roof, eliminate roof moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we spray a powerful biocide over the full roof area to discourage the regrowth of any organic matter like algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the gutters, and any debris is either composted or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, we take pictures of the final outcome, 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 rendered walls. When those dark marks are washed off—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

Ongoing gutter care is important to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can overflow down the walls 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 service and maintain your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These hardscapes, 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 bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

From stainless steel, cladding surfaces 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 dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only remove dirt, but also bring it back to as close to its original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, 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 putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a pity to see it get dirty and dull due to grime and staining.

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 uses a Hypo-based solution, while the other relies on a greener treatment. The method used depends on the material being cleaned and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.
