Roof Cleaning Services Westhumble

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 Westhumble 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 Westhumble

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 Westhumble 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 completely transform the condition of an tired, discoloured roof into one that looks almost new. Through the removal of all the dirt and grime, we reveal the original colour and fresh look of the slates or shingles.

Prevent Damage & Water Ingress

Allowing moss to accumulate on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even let water in by widening gaps. Removing moss from the roof can stop long-term damage.

Prevent Regrowth

After the roof has been cleaned, it is given a biocidal wash to stop the regrowth of algae, moss, or lichen. This protective layer boosts long-term protection and prolongs its life.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Westhumble

Curious about soft wash roof cleaning? This method employs a chemical-based "wet and forget" approach, primarily using sodium hypochlorite to remove moss, algae, lichen, and grime from roof tiles or slates.

Unlike traditional high-pressure methods, soft washing gently treats your roof, significantly reducing the risk of damage, especially important for older or fragile roofing materials. The cleaning results become fully visible after a few weeks as the chemical solution continues its work.

Soft washing is also beneficial for cleaning K-Rend and similar types of render on walls. Following the cleaning and rinse-off stage, professionals apply a biocide treatment to ensure your roof remains free from future moss and algae growth.

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

At UpClean, we specialise in clearing moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing a reliable experience and delivering a fantastic finish for every customer.

Roof Cleaning is one of our primary services for domestic homes. We also are aware 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 let you know if any repairs are recommended before we proceed.



Industry Compliant

Upon arrival, we’ll introduce ourselves and show you a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re completely covered in case of any accident, such as tile breakage.



Customer Liaise

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



Preparation

Prior to starting Roof Cleaning and clearing moss, cover sheeting is set up over any delicate garden areas in preparation for the Soft Wash Cleaning Process.



Blockage Prevention

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. The gutters are cleared after the main roof work.



First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we remove lichen from the roof, clear away moss, and get rid of algae growth—all in one go.



Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

When the roof-washing is complete, we treat the surface with a powerful biocide across the entire roof to prevent the future development of any unwanted roof growth such as algae or moss.



Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the roof drainage system, and any waste material is either disposed of responsibly or taken away.



Satisfied Customer

Finally, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when entirely happy with the results.

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 can leave walls looking tired—the render appears as good as new.

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



Gutter Cleaning

Ongoing gutter care 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 enter through the roofline—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 residential and commercial properties.



Patio & Driveway cleaning

A lot of effort and money goes into making their gardens, driveways, and patios look great using premium materials like York stone or paving blocks. These hardscapes, like most that are subject to the unpredictable British weather, can get covered in moss, algae, and dirt over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and soft washing to restore the original appearance of the stone.



Cladding Cleaning

From aluminium, cladding surfaces tend to accumulate dirt over time and can even develop discolouration if left unwashed.

As part of our building surface cleaning, we provide professional cladding cleaning designed to not only strip away buildup, but also revive 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 removes this dirt and filth, returning it to its fresh, clean state.



Conservatory Cleaning

As with UPVC surfaces, after investing heavily in your conservatory, it’s a letdown to see it look aged and tired 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 like-new condition.



Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. One uses a Hypo-based solution, while the second uses a more eco-friendly treatment. The method used depends on the area in question and the environment.



Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is commonly used on roofs, cladding, patios, and driveways when a robust and environmentally safe cleaning method is required.
