Roof Cleaning Services Plaistow

Professional roof cleaning is an economical way to instantly boost the curb appeal of your home and preserve the integrity of your roofing. A thorough cleaning removes troublesome moss, algae, lichen, and unattractive dark staining.

The results of a professional clean are striking. Tiles that were previously weather-beaten and darkened with age will noticeably brighten, often appearing refreshed and nearly new.

Many homeowners in Plaistow rely on specialist roof cleaning services primarily to restore their home's exterior attractiveness. Additionally, addressing significant moss growth is essential, as untreated moss can damage roofing tiles and lead to water entering the property.

Roof Moss Removal Plaistow

Questioning the necessity of roof cleaning services? The key benefit is its unmatched effectiveness in moss removal and prevention lasting multiple years. Optimal roof performance requires clear water pathways from surface to gutters to downspouts, directing moisture away from your property. Moss buildup interferes with this process through three mechanisms:

Behaves as a water absorbing sponge, holding moisture against roofing materials
Creates tile damage when water-filled moss undergoes freeze-thaw expansion
Restricts normal rainwater flow

Professional moss removal in the UK employs two established methods. High-pressure washing eliminates moss and surface deposits while restoring original tile beauty. Alternatively, chemical treatment covers the complete roof area with solutions designed to kill all organic matter including moss, algae, and lichen, removing stains and achieving a revitalized appearance.

UpClean provides both cleaning services across Plaistow - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

The way we clean roofs will revive the appearance of an tired, discoloured roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the built-up filth and staining, we restore the true finish and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is treated with a biocide to discourage the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This step helps protect the roof and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Plaistow

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 Plaistow 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 Plaistow

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on 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

Before starting any work, we’ll complete a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also inform you if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re properly protected in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed about the expected timeframe to complete the work and explain our steps.



Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed over any delicate garden areas if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we remove lichen from the roof, remove built-up moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we spray a powerful biocide to the whole surface to stop the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the guttering, and any debris is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, we take pictures of the finished results, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing 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 looks refreshed.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if not resolved, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can both clear and clean your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using block paving. These surfaces, like most that are out in the harsh British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and soft washing to restore the original appearance of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s UPVC, cladding surfaces tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even become stained if neglected for too long.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only strip away buildup, but also bring it back to as close to its initial appearance as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Discolouration on UPVC is common, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, restoring the material to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a pity to see it look aged and tired due to algae growth.

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

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the other relies on a more eco-friendly treatment. The choice depends on the area in question and the location.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a robust and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.
