Roof Cleaning Services Stroude

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 Stroude, 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 Stroude

The primary advantage of professional roof cleaning lies in its ability to effectively remove moss buildup and prevent its return for years to come. For your roof to function correctly, rainwater must flow unobstructed from the surface through gutters and downspouts, directing water safely away from your property. This is why roof cleaning is essential.

Moss accumulation creates three significant problems:

Functions as a water-absorbing material, holding moisture against the roof
When moss between tiles absorbs water and subsequently freezes, it can lead to tile damage and cracking
Blocks the natural drainage of rainwater across the roof surface.

Professional roof cleaners in Stroude employ two primary moss removal techniques. The first involves high-pressure washing to eliminate moss and debris, restoring tiles to their original appearance. The second method uses specialized chemical treatments applied across the entire roof surface to eliminate moss, algae, and lichen while removing stains and returning the roof to a like-new condition.

UpClean provides both roof cleaning methodologies across the UK - high-pressure cleaning and gentle softwash treatments. Our service selection depends on your roof's current state and your personal preferences.

Restore the Look of Your Roof

The way we clean roofs will revive the appearance of an aged and stained roof into one that appears freshly installed. Once we eliminate all the built-up filth and staining, we reveal the natural shade and fresh look of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even let water in by creating cracks. Removing moss from the roof can stop water-related problems.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to discourage the return of any organic growth. This protective layer helps protect the roof and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Stroude

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 Stroude 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 Stroude

At UpClean, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing a reliable experience and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also are aware that when servicing residential clients, it’s essential to act thoughtfully at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

Ahead of any cleaning, we’ll complete a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a visual record. We’ll also let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re fully insured in case of any accident, such as broken roof tiles.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our procedures.



Preparation

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



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we remove lichen from the roof, eliminate roof moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we spray a high-grade biocide over the full roof area to stop the return of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the gutters, and any organic waste is either composted or hauled off.



Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, photos are taken of the finished results, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the outcome.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean render surfaces. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that can leave walls looking tired—the render looks refreshed.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is essential to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even leak into the roof—all of which, if left untreated, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can service and maintain your gutters for domestic and business properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These hardscapes, like most that are out in the changeable British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and soft washing to restore the original appearance of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

From aluminium, building cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even become stained if not maintained.

As part of our exterior cleaning services, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only strip away buildup, but also revive it 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 original condition.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it get dirty and dull due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, returning your conservatory to its like-new condition.



Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the second uses a environmentally conscious treatment. The approach we take depends on the area in question and the location.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.
