Roof Cleaning Services Onslow Village

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 Onslow Village, 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 Onslow Village

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 Onslow Village 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 proven roof cleaning method will completely transform the appearance of an aged and stained roof into one that looks almost new. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we restore the true finish and clean lines of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even result in leaks by compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof helps prevent long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Onslow Village

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Roof pressure washing in Onslow Village 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 Onslow Village

Through our experienced contractors, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing great results and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when on-site at someone’s home, 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, taking photos for a visual record. We’ll also advise you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll greet you and present a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as cracked slates.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down over any delicate garden areas in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked 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, eliminate roof moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we apply a strong biocide over the full roof area to prevent 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 guttering, and any waste material is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

Finally, images are captured of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when 100% pleased 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. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render appears as good as new.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the difference is clear.



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is key to preventing water from damaging your property. 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 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

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These areas, like most that are subject to the changeable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s UPVC, building cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only strip away buildup, 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 clears away the staining, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, 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 clear away algae and grime, 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 method used depends on the type of surface and the environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a robust and environmentally safe cleaning method is the best option.
