Roof Cleaning Services Newdigate

Investing in roof cleaning is a highly effective method to both enhance the curb appeal of your property and extend the life of your roofing materials. The cleaning process involves thoroughly removing growths such as algae, moss, and lichens, as well as unsightly black streaks and stains.
The difference a professional roof clean makes is dramatic; dull, weather-stained tiles that have darkened over time will typically be restored to their original vibrant colour, creating a striking before-and-after effect.

Homeowners frequently choose to engage a professional Roof Cleaning or External Property Cleaning service in Newdigate, primarily to improve their home's aesthetics. But beyond appearances, removing thick moss deposits is essential to prevent potential damage and water ingress into the home.

Roof Moss Removal Newdigate

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 Newdigate 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 condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the dirt and grime, we bring back the original colour and clean lines of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even let water in by creating cracks. Getting rid of moss from the roof helps prevent water-related problems.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is given a biocidal wash to prevent the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment helps protect the roof and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Newdigate

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

Cleaning roofs in Newdigate 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 Newdigate

With our team, we specialise in clearing 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 understand that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll conduct a full survey of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a visual record. We’ll also inform you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re completely covered in case of any incident, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed how long the job should take to complete the work and go over our steps.



Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed over any vulnerable plants in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we clean off roof lichen, remove built-up moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we spray a strong 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 debris is either recycled where possible or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, images are captured of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean rendered walls. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render regains its original look.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the change is like night and day.



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is key to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes clogged, 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 service and maintain your gutters for domestic and business properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using block paving. These hardscapes, like most that are subject 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 gentler soft wash options to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s aluminium, cladding surfaces tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even suffer staining if left unwashed.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only remove dirt, but also revive it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, bringing the finish back to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a shame to see it look aged and tired due to dirt build-up.

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

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a more eco-friendly treatment. The method used depends on the type of surface and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is needed.
