Roof Cleaning Services Rowhill

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 Rowhill, 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 Rowhill

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 Rowhill 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 dramatically improve the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. By removing all the dirt and grime, we reveal the natural shade and clean lines of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even let water in by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to stop the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer helps protect the roof and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Rowhill

If you're wondering what soft washing for roofs involves, it's a chemical-based cleaning process, often described as "wet and forget," using specialised agents like sodium hypochlorite. Unlike the intense force of pressure washing, soft washing gently but thoroughly removes unwanted moss, algae, lichen, and grime from tiles or slates.

Although results take time, usually a few weeks, the wait ensures chemicals deeply cleanse and restore the roof’s appearance. This gentle process is particularly suited for older roofs that might suffer damage from aggressive cleaning. The soft wash method is also highly effective for cleaning K-Rend and other rendered surfaces.

Following this treatment, a biocide is applied to safeguard against moss and algae returning.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Cleaning roofs in Rowhill 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 Rowhill

At UpClean, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also recognise 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

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll complete a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any issues should be addressed 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 accident, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you on the estimated duration to complete the work and explain our steps.



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, cover sheeting is set up over any sensitive vegetation if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and treat roof algae—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 discourage the future development of any organic matter like algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the gutters, and any organic waste is either disposed of responsibly or hauled off.



Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, we take pictures of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when 100% pleased with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean render surfaces. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render appears as good as new.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is essential 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 not resolved, can lead to costly repairs over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for home or workplace properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These surfaces, like most that are subject to the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s UPVC, external cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even develop discolouration if neglected for too long.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only clean the surface, but also bring it back to as close to its initial appearance as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, returning it to its like-new look.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a letdown 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, returning your conservatory to its fresh appearance.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the alternative is a greener treatment. The choice depends on the material being cleaned and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a more intensive and eco-friendly cleaning method is the best option.
