Roof Cleaning Services Holmbury St Mary

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 Holmbury St Mary 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 Holmbury St Mary

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 Holmbury St Mary 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 completely transform the appearance of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. Once we eliminate all the built-up filth and staining, we restore the true finish and fresh look of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by compromising tiles. Clearing away moss from the roof reduces the risk of future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to discourage the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Holmbury St Mary

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

Cleaning roofs in Holmbury St Mary 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 Holmbury St Mary

Through our experienced contractors, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing great results and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also understand that when servicing residential clients, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:



Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll carry out a full survey of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also advise you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as cracked slates.



Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know how long the job should take to complete the work and walk you through our steps.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when carrying out moss removal. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

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



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we apply a strong biocide across the entire roof to stop the return of any organic matter like algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the roof drainage system, and any debris is either composted or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when entirely happy with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render regains its original look.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the change is like night and day.



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is key to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if left untreated, can lead to serious damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for domestic and business properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using York stone. These hardscapes, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime 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 will eventually get dirty 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 clean the surface, 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 the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a shame to see it lose its shine due to algae growth.

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. The first method applies Hypo, 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 commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a robust and chemical-free cleaning method is required.
