Roof Cleaning Services The Bourne

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 The Bourne 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 The Bourne

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 The Bourne - 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 cleaning process will completely transform the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the built-up filth and staining, we reveal the natural shade and fresh look of the tiles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by compromising tiles. Removing moss from the roof reduces the risk of long-term damage.
Prevent Regrowth
Following the roof cleaning process, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to stop the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This step helps protect the roof and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning The Bourne

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

Through our experienced contractors, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing outstanding service and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also understand that when servicing residential clients, 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, capturing images for a visual record. We’ll also inform you if any issues should be addressed before we proceed.

Industry Compliant

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, confirming that we’re fully insured in case of any accident, such as cracked slates.

Customer Liaise

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

Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, cover sheeting is set up over any sensitive vegetation if a softwash solution is being used.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when carrying out moss removal. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

This is the stage we carry out lichen removal, eliminate roof moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we treat the surface with a high-grade biocide across the entire roof to stop the regrowth of any moss, algae, or similar growth.

Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the guttering, and any debris is either recycled where possible or removed from site.

Satisfied Customer

To wrap up, images are captured of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when entirely happy with the results.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean rendered walls. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render looks refreshed.

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

Gutter Cleaning

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

Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These surfaces, like most that are subject to the unpredictable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both high-powered cleaning and chemical-assisted soft wash treatments to bring back the natural finish of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s stainless steel, external cladding tend to accumulate dirt 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 remove dirt, but also restore it to as close to its former state as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method effectively cleans the surface, bringing the finish back to its original condition.

Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a pity to see it lose its shine due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques wash off discolouration and buildup, restoring your conservatory to its original state.

Soft Washing

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a environmentally conscious treatment. The method used depends on the type of surface and the location.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a robust and chemical-free cleaning method is the best option.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve The Bourne and Middle Bourne, Boundstone, Lower Bourne, Shortheath, Shortfield Common
