Roof Cleaning Services Southwood

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 Southwood 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 Southwood

Wondering about the importance of roof maintenance? Roof cleaning stands out as the most effective method for moss removal and long-term prevention. Proper roof drainage requires unimpeded water flow from surface to gutters to downspouts, ensuring water moves away from your building.

  • Moss growth disrupts this system in three critical ways:
  • Creates a moisture-retaining barrier on your roof
  • Causes potential tile fractures when moss-trapped water expands during freezing
  • Disrupts natural water drainage

Roof cleaning professionals utilise two proven approaches for moss elimination. Power washing removes moss and surface contaminants while revitalising the tile appearance. Chemical application involves treating the entire roof with solutions that eliminate all organic growth including moss, algae, and lichen, while addressing discoloration to achieve a refreshed look. UpClean delivers both cleaning solutions for Southwood properties. These are power washing for roofs and softwash cleaning. We determine the most suitable approach based on roof condition assessment and customer requirements.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our proven roof cleaning method will completely transform the look of an old and dirty roof into one that looks almost new. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we reveal the natural shade and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even let water in by compromising tiles. Clearing away moss from the roof reduces the risk of long-term damage.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is treated with a biocide to prevent the regrowth of moss, lichen, and algae. This step helps protect the roof and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Southwood

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

Roof pressure washing in Southwood 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 Southwood

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary 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

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll complete a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know about the expected timeframe to complete the work and explain our steps.

Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.

Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we apply a high-grade biocide to the whole surface to prevent the future development of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the gutters, and any debris is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.

Satisfied Customer

At the end, images are captured of the finished results, and the customer gives final approval only when 100% pleased with the outcome.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render looks refreshed.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can overflow down the walls 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 both clear and clean your gutters for domestic and business properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These surfaces, like most that are constantly exposed to the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and soft washing to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

From stainless steel, cladding surfaces tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even become stained if not maintained.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only strip away buildup, 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 green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, returning it to its fresh, clean state.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a shame to see it lose its shine due to grime and staining.

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

Soft Washing

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the area in question and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Southwood and Cove, West Heath, Rafborough, Farnborough, Fox Lane
