Roof Cleaning Services Selborne

Having your roof professionally cleaned is an affordable solution to significantly enhance your home's appearance while extending the roof's lifespan. Thorough roof cleaning eliminates unsightly moss, algae, and lichen growth, along with any persistent dark stains that spoil your roof’s appearance.
Once professionally cleaned, the transformation of your roof can be remarkable—weather-worn and discoloured tiles will regain their original vibrant shade, often appearing almost brand-new again.
Many property owners opt for a specialist external cleaning or roof restoration service in Selborne, usually to improve the visual appeal of their home. However, a heavy moss accumulation can eventually damage tiles or slates, leading to leaks and internal water issues.

Roof Moss Removal Selborne

Is professional roof cleaning worthwhile? Absolutely - it remains the premier solution for moss eradication and sustained protection. Your roof's drainage system depends on unrestricted water movement from tiles through gutters to downspouts, channelling water safely from your structure. Moss development creates three major complications:

  • Operates like a moisture reservoir, trapping water on the roof
  • Results in tile cracking when water-saturated moss expands through freeze-thaw cycles
  • Impedes proper rainwater runoff

Two main techniques exist for roof moss treatment in Selborne. Pressure cleaning blasts away moss and surface build up, restoring the original tile aesthetics. Chemical treatment involves comprehensive roof application of solutions that destroy all living organisms such as moss, algae, and lichen, while eliminating staining for a renewed appearance. UpClean offers both cleaning approaches throughout the UK - pressure washing and soft-washing. The type decided on is determined by roof condition evaluation and customer preference.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
The way we clean roofs will dramatically improve the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that looks almost new. By removing all the moss, muck, and residue, we reveal the natural shade 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. Removing moss from the roof can stop water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the reappearance of moss, lichen, and algae. This step boosts long-term protection and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Selborne

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in Selborne. Since this method exclusively uses water (H₂O), it naturally and effectively clears away moss, algae, dirt, and lichen without chemicals.

Despite occasional reports of roof damage from high-pressure methods, the risk is minimised by hiring experienced, professionally trained, and insured cleaners who use the correct equipment to ensure optimal outcomes.

Apart from cleaning patios and driveways, pressure washing provides superior results for roofs by effectively removing moss, algae, lichen, and other growths, revitalising tiles or slates to their original appearance. To prevent regrowth of moss and algae, a biocide is usually applied after cleaning. A detailed inspection precedes any cleaning, and if roof tiles are found to be older or fragile, professionals will opt for a safer, softer cleaning method.

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

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing great results and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also understand that when servicing residential clients, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a clear transformation reference. We’ll also advise you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as broken roof tiles.

Customer Liaise

We will advise you about the expected timeframe to complete the work and walk you through our procedures.

Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, cover sheeting is set up over any sensitive vegetation in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when performing a moss removal service. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we treat the surface with a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to prevent the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.

Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the guttering, and any debris is either recycled where possible or hauled off.

Satisfied Customer

At the end, images are captured of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when entirely happy with the results.

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 looks refreshed.

Once we’ve completed K-Rend cleaning, the change is like night and day.

Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care is important to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can run down the exterior 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 unblock and wash your gutters for home or workplace properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using block paving. These areas, like most that are subject to the changeable 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

Whether it’s stainless steel, external cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

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

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, restoring the material to its like-new look.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a shame to see it look aged and tired due to dirt build-up.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, bringing your conservatory to its fresh appearance.

Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the second uses a greener treatment. The choice depends on the area in question and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and eco-friendly cleaning method is required.
