Roof Cleaning Services Mayford

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 Mayford 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 Mayford

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 Mayford 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 cleaning process will revive the look of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. Once we eliminate all the moss, muck, and residue, we restore the original colour and clean lines of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even result in leaks by compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
After the roof has been cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to stop the regrowth of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment boosts long-term protection and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Mayford

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Mayford 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 Mayford

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing a reliable experience 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 essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:

Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll meet you and show you a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re properly protected in case of any accident, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

We will advise you about the expected timeframe to complete the work and walk you through our procedures.

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, ground sheeting is placed over any sensitive vegetation if a softwash solution is being used.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when performing a moss removal service. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we clean off roof lichen, remove built-up moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we treat the surface with a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to prevent the return of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

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

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, images are captured of the finished results, and the customer approves the work only when entirely happy with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render looks refreshed.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the difference is clear.

Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is essential to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if not resolved, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for residential and commercial properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These areas, like most that are out in the changeable British weather, can become extremely dirty 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

From glass, cladding surfaces will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if left unwashed.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only remove dirt, but also restore it to as close to its former state as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, returning it to its original condition.

Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a pity to see it look aged and tired due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, bringing your conservatory to its like-new condition.

Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a environmentally conscious treatment. The approach we take depends on the material being cleaned and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a more intensive and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.
