At Ultra Gleam Cleaning, we provide professional roof cleaning and moss removal services across the West Midlands, including Wolverhampton, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, West Bromwich, Stafford, Cannock, Lichfield, and nearby towns. Our expert team safely and efficiently removes moss, algae, lichen, and debris, helping to protect your roof, extend its lifespan, and restore its appearance. Whether for homes or commercial properties, our fully insured and reliable service ensures your roof stays in top condition while enhancing the overall look of your property.
We believe homeowners should know exactly what’s happening on their property. Our clear, professional roof cleaning process removes uncertainty, protects your home, and delivers long-lasting results.
We begin by safely setting up access, cleaning equipment and carry out a thorough roof clean to remove moss, algae, and built-up debris. This immediately improves the appearance of your roof and helps prevent further organic damage.
As part of our roof cleaning service, all gutters and downpipes are cleared to ensure proper water flow. This helps prevent blockages, overflow, and potential water damage to walls, fascias, and foundations.
This is where long-term protection comes in. We apply a professional-grade biocide treatment designed to kill remaining organic spores at their root. Unlike surface cleaning alone, biocide continues working long after the roof has been cleaned, slowing regrowth, protecting the roof surface, and keeping it cleaner for far longer. This step is essential for achieving lasting roof cleaning results. Click here to read more on biocide.
All surrounding areas are washed down and cleared, with debris removed from paths, gardens, and neighbouring properties if required. We take pride in leaving your home — and the area around it — clean and tidy!
Once you’re happy with the results, payment is simple. We accept cash, card, or bank transfer.
Dark staining, moss, algae, or lichen growth are clear indicators that organic matter is breaking down your roof surface. Left untreated, this growth holds moisture against the tiles, accelerating wear and surface deterioration.
Blocked gutters, visible debris, or water overflowing during rainfall are also common warning signs, often caused by moss and dirt washing down from the roof. This build-up restricts drainage and can lead to further issues around the property, which is why regular gutter cleaning is an essential part of protecting your home.
Importantly, moss and organic growth do not stop on their own. If left alone, they continue to spread, thicken, and retain more moisture over time, increasing the risk of damage and costly repairs.
Biocide is a specialist treatment used in professional roof cleaning to control organic growth such as algae, moss, lichen, and airborne spores. It doesn’t simply clean the surface — it works at a microscopic level to prevent regrowth.
After a roof is cleaned, tiny organic spores can still remain or settle naturally over time. When moisture is present, these spores can develop into algae or moss. Biocide stops this process by killing organic matter at the root before it has the chance to establish itself.
Unlike pressure washing alone, biocide continues working long after application. It slows regrowth, reduces moisture retention on the roof surface, and helps keep tiles cleaner for significantly longer. This makes it a key part of long-lasting roof cleaning.
A simple biocide top-up treatment may be recommended in the future (2-3 years).
Used correctly, biocide supports efficient rainwater runoff, reduces the risk of moss returning, and helps protect the roof from unnecessary wear caused by trapped moisture.
We use a low-pressure or hot water wash followed by a softwash application. Softwashing involves applying a specially formulated biocide that kills and prevents the regrowth of moss, algae, and lichen without damaging the roof tiles.
It depends. Over time, moss and algae build-up can trap moisture and stress your roof tiles, reducing their lifespan. Regular roof cleaning keeps your property in top condition, ensures rainwater drains properly, and prevents small issues from turning into costly repairs.
In most cases, professional roof cleaning is a one-off service. A thorough clean combined with a biocide treatment removes moss, algae, and organic debris, keeping your roof looking good and performing well for years. However, depending on your surroundings — for example, rural areas or properties near trees — a biocide top-up treatment may be recommended to prevent surface algae and organic matter from taking root. This avoids the need for another full clean while keeping your roof protected and clean long-term.
Biocide is a professional treatment applied after cleaning to kill remaining moss, algae, lichen, and spores at the root. While a surface clean removes visible growth, spores can remain or settle naturally over time. Biocide stops this regrowth, reduces moisture retention on tiles, and keeps the roof cleaner for significantly longer. It also helps maintain proper rainwater flow, prevents drainage issues, and protects your roof from unnecessary wear caused by trapped moisture. Essentially, it’s what makes a roof cleaning last and keeps your property well-maintained.
