Roof Cleaning Services Windlesham

Investing in roof cleaning is a highly effective method to both enhance the curb appeal of your property and extend the life of your roofing materials. The cleaning process involves thoroughly removing growths such as algae, moss, and lichens, as well as unsightly black streaks and stains.
The difference a professional roof clean makes is dramatic; dull, weather-stained tiles that have darkened over time will typically be restored to their original vibrant colour, creating a striking before-and-after effect.

Homeowners frequently choose to engage a professional Roof Cleaning or External Property Cleaning service in Windlesham, primarily to improve their home's aesthetics. But beyond appearances, removing thick moss deposits is essential to prevent potential damage and water ingress into the home.

Roof Moss Removal Windlesham

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 Windlesham - 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 condition of an tired, discoloured 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 slates or shingles.
Prevent Damage & Water Ingress
When moss gathers on a roof can over time cause structural problems and even allow moisture to seep through by compromising tiles. Getting rid of moss from the roof reduces the risk of water-related problems.
Prevent Regrowth
After the roof has been cleaned, it is sprayed with a preventative solution to discourage the regrowth of moss, lichen, and algae. This final treatment adds an extra layer of defence and contributes to roof durability.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Windlesham

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.

How Much DoesRoof Cleaning Cost?

Eco Friendly Roof Tile Cleaning

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

Through our experienced contractors, we know how to remove moss from roof tiles without causing damage. We’re focused on providing outstanding service and delivering a fantastic finish 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 what you can expect:

Site Survey

Prior to beginning the job, we’ll complete a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition, taking photos 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 meet you and provide a copy of our insurance, proving that we’re fully insured in case of any incident, such as tile breakage.

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

We temporarily seal the downspouts to avoid blockages during cleaning, especially when performing a moss removal service. We clean the gutters once this is done.

First Stage - Roof Cleaning

Here’s where we carry out lichen removal, clear away moss, and treat roof algae—all in one go.

Second Stage - Biocide Treatment

After the roof has been washed, we spray a strong biocide to the whole surface to discourage the regrowth of any organic matter like algae or moss.

Third Stage - Clean up

All surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned, including the roof drainage system, and any debris is either recycled where possible or hauled off.

Satisfied Customer

Finally, photos are taken of the completed work, and the customer signs off on the job only when 100% pleased with the quality of the job.

Our Other Services

K-Rend Cleaning

We rely on soft washing techniques to clean render surfaces. When those dark marks are washed off—the ones that cause homes to appear run-down—the render looks refreshed.

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

Gutter Cleaning

Frequent gutter clearing is important to keeping rainwater away from a building. 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 ignored, can lead to thousands of pounds in property damage over time.

We offer full Gutter Cleaning services and can service and maintain your gutters for home or workplace properties.

Patio & Driveway cleaning

Many property owners spend good money improving the appearance of their outdoor spaces using York stone. These hardscapes, like most that are subject to the harsh British weather, can accumulate grime over time.

Our Patio & Driveway cleaning services include both pressure washing and soft washing to bring back the natural finish of the stone.

Cladding Cleaning

Whether it’s stainless steel, building cladding naturally collect grime over time and can even become stained if not maintained.

As part of our external property care, we provide a complete cladding wash-down designed to not only clean the surface, but also restore it to as close to its former state as possible.

UPVC Cleaning

UPVC often becomes discoloured, mostly due to green algae growth. Our UPVC Cleaning method removes this dirt and filth, returning it 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 lose its shine due to algae growth.

That’s why our gentle yet effective Conservatory Cleaning techniques remove stains and surface filth, returning your conservatory to its fresh appearance.

Soft Washing

There are two approaches to soft wash cleaning. The first method applies Hypo, while the alternative is a more eco-friendly treatment. The approach we take depends on the material being cleaned and the specific site conditions.

Pressure Washing

Our pressure washing is ideal for areas including roofs, cladding, patio, and driveway surfaces when a robust and chemical-free cleaning method is needed.

Areas we cover

We proudly serve Windlesham and Hatton Hill, Lightwater, Brick Hill, New England, Bagshot
