Roof Cleaning Services Long Ditton

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 Long Ditton, 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 Long Ditton

Is professional roof cleaning worthwhile? Absolutely - it remains the premier solution for moss eradication and sustained protection. Your roof's drainage system depends on unrestricted water movement from tiles through gutters to downspouts, channelling water safely from your structure. Moss development creates three major complications:

Operates like a moisture reservoir, trapping water on the roof
Results in tile cracking when water-saturated moss expands through freeze-thaw cycles
Impedes proper rainwater runoff

Two main techniques exist for roof moss treatment in Long Ditton. Pressure cleaning blasts away moss and surface build up, restoring the original tile aesthetics. Chemical treatment involves comprehensive roof application of solutions that destroy all living organisms such as moss, algae, and lichen, while eliminating staining for a renewed appearance. UpClean offers both cleaning approaches throughout the UK - pressure washing and soft-washing. The type decided on is determined by roof condition evaluation and customer preference.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

Our proven roof cleaning method will revive the condition of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. Once we eliminate all the dirt and grime, we bring back the natural shade and clean lines of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even let water in by creating cracks. Getting rid of moss from the roof can stop future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to discourage the regrowth of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Long Ditton

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 Long Ditton. 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 Long Ditton

Through our experienced contractors, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing outstanding service and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core services for domestic homes. We also understand that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s important to be respectful at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also advise 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, confirming that we’re fully insured in case of any unforeseen damage, such as broken roof tiles.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, ground sheeting is placed over any vulnerable plants when applying the softwash solution.



Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when performing a moss removal service. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we carry out lichen removal, clear away 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 prevent the future development of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the gutters, and any debris is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

Finally, images are captured of the finished results, and the customer signs off on the job only when entirely happy with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean rendered walls. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render looks refreshed.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is important to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. 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 ignored, can lead to costly repairs over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can both clear and clean 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 block paving. These areas, like most that are constantly exposed to the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and chemical-assisted soft wash treatments 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 develop discolouration 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 original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

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

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, returning your conservatory to its original state.



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 approach we take depends on the area in question and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is needed.
