Roof Cleaning Services Longcross

Professional roof cleaning offers homeowners a budget-friendly approach to instantly boosting their property’s visual appeal and increasing the lifespan of the roof itself. The thorough cleaning method targets and eliminates algae, lichen, moss, and stubborn black stains, leaving the roof looking immaculate.
After cleaning, roofs previously discoloured and stained by years of exposure to the elements will regain their true colour, often appearing rejuvenated and nearly new.
Most people turn to expert Roof Cleaning Companies in Longcross because they want their homes to look their best. However, aside from appearance, it's vital to remove substantial moss growth, which, left untreated, can weaken roof tiles and allow moisture to penetrate into the property.

Roof Moss Removal Longcross

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 Longcross - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

Our cleaning process will completely transform the condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that appears freshly installed. By removing all the dirt and grime, we restore the true finish and fresh look of the 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. Removing moss from the roof helps prevent future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the regrowth of any organic growth. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Longcross

What exactly is roof soft washing? Roof cleaning using the soft wash technique is essentially a "wet and forget" method, leveraging chemical solutions such as sodium hypochlorite. This method effectively eliminates moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from roof tiles or slates without using high-pressure water.

While the immediate results might not be instantly noticeable, within a few weeks, as the chemicals fully penetrate and cleanse the roof, you'll see a striking improvement. This gradual approach is ideal for delicate or aged roofing materials, helping them remain intact.

Additionally, the soft wash method is commonly used to clean K-Rend and various other rendered surfaces. After rinsing off the solution, a biocide treatment is applied to prevent future growth of moss and algae.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Longcross is an eco-friendly and highly effective approach. Because it relies solely on water (H₂O), it's essentially a chemical-free way to naturally remove moss, lichen, and accumulated grime from roofs.

While pressure washing roofs has sometimes been associated with causing damage, engaging a professional and fully insured cleaning service with the proper skills and equipment significantly mitigates these risks, ensuring excellent results.

Not just for driveways and patios, pressure washing is highly beneficial for roofs, removing moss and other unsightly growth like algae and lichen, bringing tiles and slates back to life without using potentially harmful chemicals. Afterward, applying a biocide helps to prevent moss and algae regrowth for years. Each roof is individually inspected, and if tiles appear fragile, soft washing is recommended instead.

UpClean Roof Cleaners – What to Expect from our Service in Longcross

Through our experienced contractors, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing outstanding service and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

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

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll complete a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll greet you and show you a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re properly protected 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 go over our steps.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, a protective sheet is laid down over any sensitive vegetation in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we remove lichen from the roof, remove built-up moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we treat the surface with a powerful biocide to the whole surface to discourage the regrowth of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the gutters, and any organic waste is either composted or hauled off.



Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, photos are taken of the finished results, and the customer approves the work only when 100% pleased with the results.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean rendered walls. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render appears as good as new.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is key to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can spill over the sides 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 service and maintain your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These areas, like most that are subject to the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and gentler soft wash options to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Be it stainless steel, external cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even become stained if not maintained.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only clean the surface, but also bring it back 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 removes this dirt and filth, bringing the finish back to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, 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, bringing your conservatory to its original state.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to 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 environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is the best option.
