Roof Cleaning Services Newlands Corner

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 Newlands Corner, 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 Newlands Corner

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 Newlands Corner 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
The way we clean roofs will revive the condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that appears freshly installed. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we bring back the true finish 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 allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof can stop long-term damage.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is given a biocidal wash to prevent the return of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Newlands Corner

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

Roof pressure washing in Newlands Corner is a highly effective, environmentally conscious method, utilising only water (H₂O) to remove stubborn moss, lichen, and built-up grime. It’s as natural and chemical-free as roof cleaning methods can be.

Despite some negative perceptions around pressure washing causing roof damage, choosing a reputable, experienced, and fully insured professional cleaning company ensures safe and impressive outcomes.

Beyond patios and driveways, pressure washing is ideal for roofs, eliminating moss, algae, and lichen growths, reviving tiles and slates to their original beauty without hazardous chemicals. After completion, a biocide treatment is used to inhibit future growth. Every roof undergoes a thorough assessment prior to cleaning, and if older or delicate tiles are identified, professionals will suggest the gentler soft wash approach.

UpClean Roof Cleaners – What to Expect from our Service in Newlands Corner

Through our experienced contractors, 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 recognise that when working at a private property, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll complete a full survey of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also let you know if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll greet you and present a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any accident, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know about the expected timeframe to complete the work and go over our processes.

Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, ground sheeting is placed over any vulnerable plants when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we apply a powerful biocide over the full roof area to discourage 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 gutters, and any organic waste is either composted or hauled off.

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, we take pictures of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when completely satisfied with the results.

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 can leave walls looking tired—the render regains its original look.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is important to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if not resolved, 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 hardscapes, like most that are subject to the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and soft washing to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From stainless steel, external cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only clean the surface, but also restore it to as close to its original condition as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, bringing the finish back to its like-new look.

Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it get dirty and dull due to dirt build-up.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, restoring your conservatory to its like-new condition.

Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the alternative is a environmentally conscious treatment. The choice depends on the material being cleaned and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Newlands Corner and Waterloo, Albury, Bushy Hill, West Clandon, East Clandon
