Roof Cleaning Services Stoughton

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 Stoughton, 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 Stoughton

Questioning the necessity of roof cleaning services? The key benefit is its unmatched effectiveness in moss removal and prevention lasting multiple years. Optimal roof performance requires clear water pathways from surface to gutters to downspouts, directing moisture away from your property. Moss buildup interferes with this process through three mechanisms:

  • Behaves as a water absorbing sponge, holding moisture against roofing materials
  • Creates tile damage when water-filled moss undergoes freeze-thaw expansion
  • Restricts normal rainwater flow

Professional moss removal in the UK employs two established methods. High-pressure washing eliminates moss and surface deposits while restoring original tile beauty. Alternatively, chemical treatment covers the complete roof area with solutions designed to kill all organic matter including moss, algae, and lichen, removing stains and achieving a revitalized appearance.

UpClean provides both cleaning services across Stoughton - high-pressure and softwash cleaning options. Method selection is based on roof condition analysis and individual customer preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof
Our proven roof cleaning method will completely transform the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the moss, muck, and residue, we restore the natural shade and fresh look of the roof tiles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even let water in by compromising tiles. Clearing away moss from the roof helps prevent water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to discourage the return of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment helps protect the roof and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Stoughton

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

At UpClean, we know how to remove 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 specialist services for domestic homes. We also understand that when servicing residential clients, it’s important to be respectful at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a before-and-after comparison. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

When we arrive, we’ll introduce ourselves and provide a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re properly protected in case of any accident, such as broken roof tiles.

Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know how long the job should take to complete the work and go over our steps.

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, cover sheeting is set up over any sensitive vegetation when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when carrying out moss removal. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we treat the surface with a powerful biocide over the full roof area to discourage the future development of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the guttering, and any organic waste is either composted or taken away.

Satisfied Customer

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

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean render surfaces. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render appears as good as new.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is key to keeping rainwater away from a building. If a gutter becomes clogged, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if left untreated, can lead to costly repairs over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can unblock and wash your gutters for domestic and business properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using York stone. These areas, like most that are out in the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

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

Cladding Cleaning

Be it aluminium, external cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even become stained if left unwashed.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only remove dirt, but also revive it to as close to its former state as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

Over time, UPVC tends to fade or stain, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, returning it to its fresh, clean state.

Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it get dirty and dull due to grime and staining.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, restoring your conservatory to its original state.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the alternative is a more eco-friendly treatment. The choice depends on the area in question and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a stronger and chemical-free cleaning method is required.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Stoughton and Rydeshill, Woodbridge Hill, Bellfields, Westborough, Park Barn
