Roof cleaning plays a vital role in maintaining both the appearance and structural health of your home. Over time, moss, algae, lichen, and debris can build up on roof tiles, trapping moisture and accelerating wear. Left untreated, this growth can lead to damaged tiles, blocked gutters, and reduced roof lifespan.
At Home Uplift, we assess the condition and age of your roof before any work begins. On older roofs, the original factory-applied protective coating has often already worn away due to years of weather exposure. In these cases, careful cleaning helps remove damaging organic growth without compromising the roof’s condition.
On newer or well-maintained roofs, the protective surface layer is often still present. Aggressive pressure washing in these situations can damage this layer and shorten the lifespan of the tiles. For this reason, we use a controlled, soft-wash approach where appropriate, safely treating moss and organic growth while preserving the roof’s protective coating.
Our roof cleaning service not only improves the appearance of your property but also helps protect your roof, reduce future maintenance issues, and support long-term durability. Every roof is treated individually, using the most suitable method to achieve effective results without unnecessary risk.
Every roof cleaning service begins with a thorough preparation process to ensure safe working conditions, effective cleaning, and protection of your property.
Cleaning process:
Every roof cleaning service begins with a thorough preparation process to ensure safe working conditions, effective cleaning, and protection of your property.
We first confirm access to a suitable water supply and check that proper drainage is available. Any items that could obstruct access or be affected during cleaning are carefully moved or protected. Surrounding surfaces are then pre-soaked to prevent dirt from bonding to areas not being cleaned and to ensure that cleaning solutions cannot dwell on unintended surfaces. Lawns, plants, and garden areas are also thoroughly wetted to prevent chemical absorption and protect surrounding greenery.
Before cleaning begins, a detailed visual inspection of the roof is carried out to identify any existing damage, wear, or vulnerable areas. This allows us to choose the safest and most appropriate cleaning method for the specific roof type and condition.
Access equipment such as ladders, scaffolding, or specialist machinery is then set up depending on the height and layout of the property. Once safe access is in place, gutters are cleared to allow moss, debris, and water to run freely away from the roof during the cleaning process.
The roof is then cleaned using the selected method to carefully remove moss, algae, and built-up debris. All dislodged material is either bagged or safely directed through controlled drainage. Once cleaning is complete, any areas affected during the process — including gutters, walls, paths, and surrounding surfaces — are thoroughly rinsed.
Where requested, a biocide treatment can be applied after cleaning. This treatment helps inhibit the regrowth of moss, algae, and lichen, significantly extending the lifespan of the clean and keeping the roof looking better for longer.
The property is left clean, tidy, and well protected, with all waste removed and surrounding areas fully rinsed.
