Roof Cleaning Services Runfold

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 Runfold, 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 Runfold

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 Runfold 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 revive the look of an old and dirty roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the built-up filth and staining, we reveal the original colour and crisp appearance of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even result in leaks by widening gaps. Clearing away moss from the roof can stop future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, 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 Runfold

Curious about soft wash roof cleaning? This method employs a chemical-based "wet and forget" approach, primarily using sodium hypochlorite to remove moss, algae, lichen, and grime from roof tiles or slates.

Unlike traditional high-pressure methods, soft washing gently treats your roof, significantly reducing the risk of damage, especially important for older or fragile roofing materials. The cleaning results become fully visible after a few weeks as the chemical solution continues its work.

Soft washing is also beneficial for cleaning K-Rend and similar types of render on walls. Following the cleaning and rinse-off stage, professionals apply a biocide treatment to ensure your roof remains free from future moss and algae growth.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Runfold 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 Runfold

With our team, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing a reliable experience and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also recognise that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re properly protected in case of any accident, such as broken roof tiles.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, ground sheeting is placed over any vulnerable plants if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when carrying out moss removal. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we spray a high-grade biocide across the entire roof to stop the regrowth of any organic matter like algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the roof drainage system, and any organic waste is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when 100% pleased with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render regains its original look.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is essential to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even enter through the roofline—all of which, if ignored, 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

A lot of effort and money goes into enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using block paving. These areas, like most that are out in the harsh British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and gentler soft wash options to restore the original appearance of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Be it glass, building cladding tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even suffer staining if left unwashed.

As part of our external property care, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only clean the surface, but also restore it to as close to its former state as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, restoring the material to its like-new look.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, 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 remove stains and surface filth, returning your conservatory to its original state.



Soft Washing

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the alternative is a greener treatment. The method used depends on the material being cleaned and the environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and eco-friendly cleaning method is required.
