Roof Cleaning Services Old Woking

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 Old Woking, 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 Old Woking

Is professional roof cleaning worthwhile? Absolutely - it remains the premier solution for moss eradication and sustained protection. Your roof's drainage system depends on unrestricted water movement from tiles through gutters to downspouts, channelling water safely from your structure. Moss development creates three major complications:

  • Operates like a moisture reservoir, trapping water on the roof
  • Results in tile cracking when water-saturated moss expands through freeze-thaw cycles
  • Impedes proper rainwater runoff

Two main techniques exist for roof moss treatment in Old Woking. Pressure cleaning blasts away moss and surface build up, restoring the original tile aesthetics. Chemical treatment involves comprehensive roof application of solutions that destroy all living organisms such as moss, algae, and lichen, while eliminating staining for a renewed appearance. UpClean offers both cleaning approaches throughout the UK - pressure washing and soft-washing. The type decided on is determined by roof condition evaluation and customer preference.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our proven roof cleaning method will dramatically improve the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. By removing all the dirt and grime, we bring back the original colour and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Getting rid of moss from the roof can stop future issues.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is treated with a biocide to stop the return of moss, lichen, and algae. This protective layer adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Old Woking

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 Old Woking 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 Old Woking

With our team, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on 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 are aware that when working at a private property, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll conduct a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also advise you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and provide a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re properly protected in case of any accident, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

We will advise you about the expected timeframe to complete the work and walk you through our steps.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, cover sheeting is set up over any sensitive vegetation when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we remove lichen from the roof, remove built-up moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, 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 taken away.

Satisfied Customer

At the end, images are captured of the final outcome, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the outcome.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean render surfaces. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render appears as good as new.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is important to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if ignored, 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

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using block paving. These hardscapes, like most that are out in the unpredictable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and gentler soft wash options to bring back the natural finish of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From aluminium, external cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even suffer staining if left unwashed.

As part of our external property care, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only remove dirt, but also restore it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, restoring the material 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 lose its shine 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. One involves Hypo, while the other relies on a environmentally conscious treatment. The method used depends on the area in question and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.
