Roof Cleaning Services Rowledge

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 Rowledge 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 Rowledge

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 Rowledge 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 cleaning process will dramatically improve the look of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the moss, muck, and residue, we restore the natural shade and fresh look of the slates or shingles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof can stop long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to discourage the regrowth of any organic growth. This step boosts long-term protection and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Rowledge

What exactly is roof soft washing? Roof cleaning using the soft wash technique is essentially a "wet and forget" method, leveraging chemical solutions such as sodium hypochlorite. This method effectively eliminates moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from roof tiles or slates without using high-pressure water.

While the immediate results might not be instantly noticeable, within a few weeks, as the chemicals fully penetrate and cleanse the roof, you'll see a striking improvement. This gradual approach is ideal for delicate or aged roofing materials, helping them remain intact.

Additionally, the soft wash method is commonly used to clean K-Rend and various other rendered surfaces. After rinsing off the solution, a biocide treatment is applied to prevent future growth of moss and algae.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Rowledge is an eco-friendly and highly effective approach. Because it relies solely on water (H₂O), it's essentially a chemical-free way to naturally remove moss, lichen, and accumulated grime from roofs.

While pressure washing roofs has sometimes been associated with causing damage, engaging a professional and fully insured cleaning service with the proper skills and equipment significantly mitigates these risks, ensuring excellent results.

Not just for driveways and patios, pressure washing is highly beneficial for roofs, removing moss and other unsightly growth like algae and lichen, bringing tiles and slates back to life without using potentially harmful chemicals. Afterward, applying a biocide helps to prevent moss and algae regrowth for years. Each roof is individually inspected, and if tiles appear fragile, soft washing is recommended instead.

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

With our team, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing great results and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when servicing residential clients, 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 conduct a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also inform you if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re fully insured in case of any accident, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you on the estimated duration to complete the work and go over our procedures.



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. We clean the gutters once this is done.



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

After the roof has been washed, we spray a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to discourage the future development of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the roof drainage system, and any organic waste is either composted or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

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

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean rendered walls. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render appears as good as new.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is essential to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can overflow down the walls of the property and may even leak into the roof—all of which, if ignored, 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

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These hardscapes, like most that are out in the unpredictable 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

Be it aluminium, external cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even become stained if left unwashed.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only clean the surface, but also revive it to as close to its original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, restoring the material to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it look aged and tired due to grime and staining.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, bringing your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the other relies on a greener treatment. The method used depends on the material being cleaned and the location.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a stronger and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.
