Roof Cleaning Services Milford

Professional roof cleaning is an economical way to instantly boost the curb appeal of your home and preserve the integrity of your roofing. A thorough cleaning removes troublesome moss, algae, lichen, and unattractive dark staining.

The results of a professional clean are striking. Tiles that were previously weather-beaten and darkened with age will noticeably brighten, often appearing refreshed and nearly new.

Many homeowners in Milford rely on specialist roof cleaning services primarily to restore their home's exterior attractiveness. Additionally, addressing significant moss growth is essential, as untreated moss can damage roofing tiles and lead to water entering the property.

Roof Moss Removal Milford

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 Milford 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
The way we clean roofs will completely transform the look of an tired, discoloured roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. Once we eliminate all the built-up filth and staining, we restore the natural shade and fresh look of the slates or shingles.
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 helps prevent water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
After the roof has been cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to prevent the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment helps protect the roof and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Milford

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in Milford. 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 Milford

At UpClean, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to 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 are aware that when servicing residential clients, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll carry out a full survey of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also inform you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll greet you and provide a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as broken roof tiles.

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 vulnerable plants in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.

Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we apply a strong 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 guttering, and any debris is either recycled where possible or hauled off.

Satisfied Customer

Finally, photos are taken of the final outcome, and the customer approves the work only when completely satisfied 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. After clearing away unsightly staining—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 key to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if left untreated, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

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

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using York stone. These hardscapes, like most that are out in the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and soft washing to restore the original appearance of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Be it aluminium, building cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even suffer staining if not maintained.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only clean the surface, but also revive it 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 fresh, clean state.

Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a shame to see it lose its shine due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, returning your conservatory to its fresh appearance.

Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the alternative is a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the area in question and the specific site conditions.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a stronger and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.
