Roof Cleaning Services Merrow

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 Merrow, 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 Merrow

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 Merrow 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 dramatically improve the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the built-up filth and staining, we bring back the original colour and clean lines of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by widening gaps. Clearing away moss from the roof can stop future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, 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 Merrow

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 Merrow. 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 Merrow

Through our experienced contractors, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing a reliable experience and delivering a spotless roof 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 our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:



Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll conduct a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also inform you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll introduce ourselves and provide a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re properly protected in case of any incident, such as cracked slates.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we carry out lichen removal, 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 across the entire roof to prevent the regrowth of any organic matter like algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the guttering, and any debris is either recycled where possible or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, we take pictures 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 rely on soft washing techniques 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 looks refreshed.

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 overfilled, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even leak into the roof—all of which, if ignored, can lead to serious damage over time.

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



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These surfaces, like most that are constantly exposed to the unpredictable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and soft washing to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

From stainless steel, cladding surfaces tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even develop discolouration if left unwashed.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning 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 green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, restoring the material to its original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, 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, returning your conservatory to its fresh appearance.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a environmentally conscious treatment. The approach we take depends on the type of surface and the environment.



Pressure Washing

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