Roof Cleaning Services Westborough

Professional roof cleaning is an economical way to instantly boost the curb appeal of your home and preserve the integrity of your roofing. A thorough cleaning removes troublesome moss, algae, lichen, and unattractive dark staining.

The results of a professional clean are striking. Tiles that were previously weather-beaten and darkened with age will noticeably brighten, often appearing refreshed and nearly new.

Many homeowners in Westborough rely on specialist roof cleaning services primarily to restore their home's exterior attractiveness. Additionally, addressing significant moss growth is essential, as untreated moss can damage roofing tiles and lead to water entering the property.

Roof Moss Removal Westborough

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 Westborough - 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 revive the appearance of an old and dirty roof into one that appears freshly installed. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we bring back the original colour and crisp appearance of the slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can eventually lead to damage and even let water in by widening gaps. Getting rid of moss from the roof can stop water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
Once the roof is thoroughly cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to discourage the regrowth of moss, lichen, and algae. This protective layer boosts long-term protection and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Westborough

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

Using a pressure washer for roof cleaning in Westborough 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 Westborough

At UpClean, we understand how to safely eliminate moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re committed to 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 recognise that when servicing residential clients, it’s important to be respectful at all times.

Here’s how we approach it:

Site Survey

Before starting any work, we’ll conduct a full survey 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

As we get to your property, we’ll introduce ourselves and present a copy of our insurance, demonstrating that we’re completely covered in case of any unforeseen damage, such as tile breakage.

Customer Liaise

You’ll be informed how long the job should take to complete the work and explain our procedures.

Preparation

Ahead of any Roof Cleaning or moss treatment, ground sheeting is placed over any vulnerable plants when applying the softwash solution.

Blockage Prevention

Drainpipes are briefly covered to prevent runoff from clogging the drains, especially when carrying out moss removal. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

At this point we remove lichen from the roof, remove built-up moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we treat the surface with a high-grade biocide across the entire roof to stop the return of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the gutters, and any debris is either composted or taken away.

Satisfied Customer

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

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean render surfaces. Once those black or green stains are removed—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—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 helping direct rainwater safely off your roof. 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

Homeowners often invest heavily enhancing the look of driveways, patios, and gardens using York stone. These hardscapes, like most that are out in the unpredictable British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and gentler soft wash options to revive the clean look of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

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

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only strip away buildup, but also restore it 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 effectively cleans the surface, returning it to its original condition.

Conservatory Cleaning

Just like with other areas, after putting money into a new conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it get dirty and dull due to grime and staining.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques clear away algae and grime, returning your conservatory to its original state.

Soft Washing

We use two main types of soft wash cleaning. One involves Hypo, while the alternative is a environmentally conscious treatment. The method used depends on the area in question and the environment.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a more intensive and environmentally safe cleaning method is the best option.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Westborough and Dennisville, Park Barn, Woodbridge Hill, Onslow Village, Guildford Park
