Roof Cleaning Services Thames Ditton

Professional roof cleaning offers homeowners a budget-friendly approach to instantly boosting their property’s visual appeal and increasing the lifespan of the roof itself. The thorough cleaning method targets and eliminates algae, lichen, moss, and stubborn black stains, leaving the roof looking immaculate.
After cleaning, roofs previously discoloured and stained by years of exposure to the elements will regain their true colour, often appearing rejuvenated and nearly new.
Most people turn to expert Roof Cleaning Companies in Thames Ditton because they want their homes to look their best. However, aside from appearance, it's vital to remove substantial moss growth, which, left untreated, can weaken roof tiles and allow moisture to penetrate into the property.

Roof Moss Removal Thames Ditton

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 Thames Ditton 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

Our cleaning process will revive the condition of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the built-up filth and staining, we bring back the natural shade and clean lines of the roof tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even allow moisture to seep through by widening gaps. Getting rid of moss from the roof helps prevent future issues.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to prevent the regrowth of any organic growth. This step boosts long-term protection and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Thames Ditton

What exactly is roof soft washing? Roof cleaning using the soft wash technique is essentially a "wet and forget" method, leveraging chemical solutions such as sodium hypochlorite. This method effectively eliminates moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from roof tiles or slates without using high-pressure water.

While the immediate results might not be instantly noticeable, within a few weeks, as the chemicals fully penetrate and cleanse the roof, you'll see a striking improvement. This gradual approach is ideal for delicate or aged roofing materials, helping them remain intact.

Additionally, the soft wash method is commonly used to clean K-Rend and various other rendered surfaces. After rinsing off the solution, a biocide treatment is applied to prevent future growth of moss and algae.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

Through our experienced contractors, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to 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 understand that when on-site at someone’s home, it’s important to be respectful at all times.

Here’s what we aim to deliver each time:



Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll carry out a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a visual record. We’ll also advise you if any roof repairs are needed before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re completely covered in case of any incident, such as cracked slates.



Customer Liaise

We’ll let you know how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our processes.



Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed over any delicate garden areas in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Downspouts are temporarily blocked to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when removing heavy moss buildup. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

Once roof-washing is finished, we spray a strong biocide to the whole surface to stop the future development of any moss, algae, or similar growth.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the gutters, and any waste material is either composted or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

Finally, images are captured of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when 100% pleased with the results.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean rendered walls. After clearing away unsightly staining—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render regains its original look.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is key to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes blocked, water can run down the exterior of the property and may even enter through the roofline—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 residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These areas, like most that are out in the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime 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

Be it aluminium, external cladding will eventually get dirty over time and can even suffer staining if left unwashed.

As part of our external property care, we provide dedicated cladding treatments designed to not only clean the surface, but also bring it back to as close to its initial appearance as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, bringing the finish back to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown 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, restoring your conservatory to its fresh appearance.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a environmentally conscious treatment. The choice depends on the type of surface and the environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and eco-friendly cleaning method is required.
