Roof Cleaning Services Ottershaw

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 Ottershaw 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 Ottershaw

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 Ottershaw. 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 condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that looks almost new. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we reveal the natural shade and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even let water in by widening gaps. Removing moss from the roof helps prevent long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to prevent the regrowth of any organic growth. This step boosts long-term protection and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Ottershaw

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

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in Ottershaw. Since this method exclusively uses water (H₂O), it naturally and effectively clears away moss, algae, dirt, and lichen without chemicals.

Despite occasional reports of roof damage from high-pressure methods, the risk is minimised by hiring experienced, professionally trained, and insured cleaners who use the correct equipment to ensure optimal outcomes.

Apart from cleaning patios and driveways, pressure washing provides superior results for roofs by effectively removing moss, algae, lichen, and other growths, revitalising tiles or slates to their original appearance. To prevent regrowth of moss and algae, a biocide is usually applied after cleaning. A detailed inspection precedes any cleaning, and if roof tiles are found to be older or fragile, professionals will opt for a safer, softer cleaning method.

UpClean Roof Cleaners – What to Expect from our Service in Ottershaw

With our team, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary 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 what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

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



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and provide a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any incident, such as cracked slates.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, cover sheeting is set up over any vulnerable plants if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we clean off roof lichen, clear away moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we treat the surface with a powerful biocide to the whole surface to stop the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the guttering, and any waste material is either recycled where possible or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, we take pictures of the final outcome, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean rendered walls. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render regains its original look.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the transformation is dramatic.



Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if left untreated, 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 residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These surfaces, like most that are out in the unpredictable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s aluminium, building cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if left unwashed.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only strip away buildup, but also bring it back to as close to its original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, bringing the finish back to its original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a shame to see it get dirty and dull due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, restoring your conservatory to its fresh appearance.



Soft Washing

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the second uses a more eco-friendly treatment. The choice depends on the type of surface and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is the best option.
