Roof Cleaning Services Rowly

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 Rowly 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 Rowly

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 Rowly - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our cleaning process will dramatically improve the look of an aged and stained roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we bring back the true finish and clean lines of the tiles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by creating cracks. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent future issues.
Prevent Regrowth
Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to stop the return of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Rowly

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Roof pressure washing in Rowly 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 Rowly

Through our experienced contractors, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing great results and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core services for domestic homes. We also recognise that when working at a private property, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also inform you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know how long the job should take to complete the work and walk you through our steps.

Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, a protective sheet is laid down over any sensitive vegetation when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we spray 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

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

Satisfied Customer

Finally, we take pictures of the final outcome, and the customer gives final approval only when completely satisfied with the results.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean rendered walls. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render appears as good as new.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is key to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even leak into the roof—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

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using block paving. These hardscapes, like most that are out in 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 bring back the natural finish of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From stainless steel, cladding surfaces naturally collect grime over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

As part of our external property care, 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 algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, restoring the material to its like-new look.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a shame to see it lose its shine 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

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the alternative is a greener treatment. The method used depends on the type of surface and the specific site conditions.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and eco-friendly cleaning method is needed.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Rowly and Ridgebridge Hill, Stroud Common, Palmers Cross, Elmbridge Village, Cranleigh
