Roof Cleaning Services Lakers Green

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 Lakers Green, 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 Lakers Green

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 Lakers Green 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 cleaning process will revive the look of an aged and stained roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we restore the true finish and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Getting rid of moss from the roof reduces the risk of long-term damage.
Prevent Regrowth
Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to prevent the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This step adds an extra layer of defence and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Lakers Green

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

Cleaning roofs in Lakers Green 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 Lakers Green

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 fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when working at a private property, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll carry out a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll meet you and present a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re fully insured in case of any unforeseen damage, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know on the estimated duration to complete the work and explain our steps.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, cover sheeting is set up over any sensitive vegetation if a softwash solution is being used.

Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we carry out lichen removal, eliminate roof moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we spray a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to discourage the regrowth of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the gutters, and any debris is either recycled where possible or taken away.

Satisfied Customer

Finally, we take pictures of the finished results, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the outcome.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render regains its original look.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the transformation is dramatic.

Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is key to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if not resolved, can lead to serious damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can service and maintain your gutters for home or workplace properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These areas, 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 chemical-assisted soft wash treatments to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From UPVC, building cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even suffer staining if neglected for too long.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only clean the surface, but also revive it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, bringing the finish back to its like-new look.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after spending a lot on building a 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 clear away algae and grime, bringing your conservatory to its original state.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the other relies on a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the type of surface and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.
