Roof Cleaning Services Ockham

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 Ockham 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 Ockham

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 Ockham 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 completely transform the look of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the moss, muck, and residue, we reveal the true finish and clean lines of the tiles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even let water in by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to stop the regrowth of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Ockham

We have years of experience in Soft washing a roof & this is what it involves. Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning approach, often known as a "wet and forget" method. It utilises chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite to eliminate moss, algae, lichen, and accumulated dirt from roofing materials like tiles and slates.

Unlike pressure washing, this gentle method avoids potential damage to delicate or ageing roof surfaces. Although the visual transformation isn't immediate, within several weeks the chemical agents will have thoroughly cleansed your roof, revealing a significantly cleaner look.

The technique is similarly effective for K-Rend cleaning and other rendered wall surfaces. Once cleaning is complete, a biocide treatment is applied to inhibit future moss and algae growth.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Ockham 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 Ockham

With our team, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing outstanding service and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core services for domestic homes. We also understand that when servicing residential clients, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll conduct a full survey of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also inform you if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as broken roof tiles.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our procedures.

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, ground sheeting is placed over any vulnerable plants when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we remove lichen from the roof, clear away moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we apply a strong biocide over the full roof area to discourage the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the roof drainage system, and any waste material is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.

Satisfied Customer

At the end, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job 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 change is like night and day.

Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is important to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can spill over the sides 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 service and maintain your gutters for domestic and business properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These hardscapes, like most that are constantly exposed to the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and gentler soft wash options to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Be it aluminium, external cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even become stained if neglected for too long.

As part of our external property care, 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 green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, bringing the finish back to its fresh, clean state.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a pity 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, bringing your conservatory to its original state.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the material being cleaned and the specific site conditions.

Pressure Washing

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