Roof Cleaning Services St Johns

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 St Johns 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 St Johns

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 St Johns. 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 proven roof cleaning method will revive the look of an old and dirty roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the dirt and grime, we restore the true finish and crisp appearance of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even result in leaks by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof helps prevent water-related problems.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is treated with a biocide to discourage the return of any organic growth. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning St Johns

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.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Pressure washing your roof is among the most environmentally responsible cleaning techniques available in St Johns. 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 St Johns

With our team, we understand how to safely eliminate 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 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 you can expect:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll complete 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

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know on the estimated duration to complete the work and go over our steps.



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, ground sheeting is placed over any sensitive vegetation if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we remove lichen from the roof, eliminate roof moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we apply a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to prevent the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the guttering, and any debris is either composted or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, we take pictures of the final outcome, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We use a soft wash approach to clean render surfaces. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render looks refreshed.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is essential to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if ignored, can lead to serious damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for residential and commercial 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 subject to the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

Be it glass, cladding surfaces naturally collect grime over time and can even suffer staining if neglected for too long.

As part of our external property care, 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 the buildup of green residue. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, restoring the material to its original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it lose its shine due to dirt build-up.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, returning your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the other relies on a environmentally conscious treatment. The approach we take depends on the material being cleaned and the specific site conditions.



Pressure Washing

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