Roof Cleaning Services Skimmington

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 Skimmington, 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 Skimmington

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 Skimmington. 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

Our cleaning process will completely transform the condition of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. By removing all the built-up filth and staining, we bring back the original colour and crisp appearance of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof can stop long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Following the roof cleaning process, it is treated with a biocide to discourage the regrowth of moss, lichen, and algae. This step boosts long-term protection and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Skimmington

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Skimmington 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 Skimmington

With our team, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing outstanding service and delivering a clean, professional result 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

Before starting any work, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll meet you and provide 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 go over our processes.



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down over any delicate garden areas when applying the softwash solution.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we remove lichen from the roof, clear away moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we treat the surface with a strong biocide to the whole surface to discourage the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

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



Satisfied Customer

At the end, images are captured of the finished results, and the customer approves the work only when completely satisfied with the results.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean rendered walls. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render regains its original look.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is important to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if not resolved, can lead to serious damage over time.

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



Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These hardscapes, like most that are constantly exposed to the unpredictable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both jet washing and soft washing to bring back the natural finish of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

Be it glass, cladding surfaces will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only strip away buildup, but also restore it to as close to its original condition as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it look aged and tired due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, bringing your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the other relies on a greener treatment. The method used depends on the type of surface and the environment.



Pressure Washing

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