Roof Cleaning Services Towpath

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 Towpath 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 Towpath

Wondering about the importance of roof maintenance? Roof cleaning stands out as the most effective method for moss removal and long-term prevention. Proper roof drainage requires unimpeded water flow from surface to gutters to downspouts, ensuring water moves away from your building.

Moss growth disrupts this system in three critical ways:

Creates a moisture-retaining barrier on your roof
Causes potential tile fractures when moss-trapped water expands during freezing
Disrupts natural water drainage

Roof cleaning professionals utilise two proven approaches for moss elimination. Power washing removes moss and surface contaminants while revitalising the tile appearance. Chemical application involves treating the entire roof with solutions that eliminate all organic growth including moss, algae, and lichen, while addressing discoloration to achieve a refreshed look. UpClean delivers both cleaning solutions for Towpath properties. These are power washing for roofs and softwash cleaning. We determine the most suitable approach based on roof condition assessment and customer requirements.

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 built-up filth and staining, we reveal the natural shade and clean lines of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Having a build-up of moss on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even let water in by compromising tiles. Getting rid of moss from the roof can stop long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to discourage the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer adds an extra layer of defence and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Towpath

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 Towpath. 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 Towpath

With our team, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re always working toward providing great results and delivering a clean, professional result for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our core 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 conduct a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, documenting with pictures 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 meet you and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re properly protected in case of any accident, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed on the estimated duration to complete the work and go over our processes.



Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants if a softwash solution is being used.



Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to stop moss runoff from entering the drainage system, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point 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 powerful biocide over the full roof area to stop the regrowth of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

The entire area is then cleaned up, including the gutters, and any organic waste is either disposed of responsibly or removed from site.



Satisfied Customer

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

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

Our method involves soft washing to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. 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 transformation is dramatic.



Gutter Cleaning

Regular gutter maintenance is essential to helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. If a gutter becomes overfilled, 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 unblock and wash your gutters for residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Homeowners often invest heavily making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using block paving. These areas, like most that are constantly exposed to the changeable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

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

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only clean the surface, but also restore it to as close to its initial appearance as possible.



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method clears away the staining, restoring the material 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 look aged and tired 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

Our team offers two forms of soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the other relies on a more eco-friendly treatment. The method used depends on the area in question and the environment.



Pressure Washing

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