Roof Cleaning Services Virginia Water

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 Virginia Water 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 Virginia Water

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 Virginia Water 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 condition of an aged and stained roof into one that resembles a brand-new surface. By removing all the built-up filth and staining, we reveal the true finish and crisp appearance of the tiles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

When moss gathers on a roof can gradually harm the roof surface and even allow moisture to seep through by widening gaps. Clearing away moss from the roof can stop long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to stop the reappearance of algae, moss, or lichen. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and extends its lifespan.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Virginia Water

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

Roof pressure washing in Virginia Water is a highly effective, environmentally conscious method, utilising only water (H₂O) to remove stubborn moss, lichen, and built-up grime. It’s as natural and chemical-free as roof cleaning methods can be.

Despite some negative perceptions around pressure washing causing roof damage, choosing a reputable, experienced, and fully insured professional cleaning company ensures safe and impressive outcomes.

Beyond patios and driveways, pressure washing is ideal for roofs, eliminating moss, algae, and lichen growths, reviving tiles and slates to their original beauty without hazardous chemicals. After completion, a biocide treatment is used to inhibit future growth. Every roof undergoes a thorough assessment prior to cleaning, and if older or delicate tiles are identified, professionals will suggest the gentler soft wash approach.

UpClean Roof Cleaners – What to Expect from our Service in Virginia Water

With our team, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to providing a reliable experience and delivering a spotless roof for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our specialist services for domestic homes. We also understand that when working at a private property, it’s our job to be considerate at all times.

Here’s what you can expect:



Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll carry out a thorough inspection of the roof’s condition, taking photos for a visual record. We’ll also inform you 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 tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

We will advise you how long the job should take to complete the work and go over our processes.



Preparation

Before Roof Cleaning and moss removal, a protective sheet is laid down over any vulnerable plants in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when carrying out moss removal. Gutter cleaning is completed afterwards.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we carry out lichen removal, remove built-up moss, and perform roof algae removal—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we apply a strong biocide across the entire roof to prevent the regrowth of any organic matter like algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

We finish by tidying the whole site, including the guttering, and any waste material is either recycled where possible or hauled off.



Satisfied Customer

At the end, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer gives final approval only when completely satisfied with the results.

Our Other Services



K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean exterior render, including K-Rend. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that make buildings look neglected—the render looks refreshed.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is key to preventing water from damaging your property. If a gutter becomes overfilled, water can spill over the sides of the property and may even get inside through roof joints—all of which, if not resolved, can lead to costly repairs over time.

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



Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These hardscapes, like most that are out in the harsh British weather, can become extremely dirty over time.

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



Cladding Cleaning

Be it aluminium, cladding surfaces will eventually get dirty over time and can even develop discolouration if not maintained.

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



UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to algae and grime. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

Similar to your windows and frames, after spending a lot on building a conservatory, it’s a shame to see it look aged and tired due to dirt build-up.

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



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the alternative is a more eco-friendly treatment. The method used depends on the type of surface and the location.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is applied to surfaces like roofs, cladding, and hardscapes such as patios and driveways when a stronger and eco-friendly cleaning method is the best option.
