Roof cleaning is one of the most in demand services offered by Softwashing UK. Mosses, algae, lichens, and other atmospheric growths can cause structural damage to a roof, whether or not the greenish hues are seen by some as ‘quaint’. A common bacteria, gloecapsa magma, also causes unsightly black staining on a roof. Once a roof becomes covered with moss it is well into its projected life cycle, at which point maintenance and cleaning becomes more vital than ever. The old fashioned solution is to resort to high pressure cleaning to blast moss from the roof surface. However, high pressure cleaning of aging roofs is an aggressive solution which can cause substantial damage, so it is not recommended by roofing material manufacturers or roofers associations.
Softwashing is a gentle solution to roof cleaning and restoration. We use a pH neutral blend designed to treat the specific roof infection and kill gloecapsa magma, and unlike high pressure blasting, our products do not damage the roof materials. We filter and cleanse the roof using our softwashing low pressure tank system, and use light brushing to ensure maximum sanitisation. Softwashing uses the power of chemistry to eliminate the infectant at both surface and root. The products activate in minutes and then last for months.
Our process gets fast results that continue over time:

Softwashing Uk treats every job as its own individual project, as such, the most suitable method will be proposed in our quotation. Over the many years we have been restoring render, we have found that the cleaning of it falls in to five categories:
This service is used when the render has not been cleaned for many years and the render is heavily stained with black mould, blackspot and lichens, as per the sliding photograph.
This method requires every square inch of the render to be low-pressure washed, or steam cleaned and treated with stain remover, multiple times to achieve the desired finish.
This service is our render restoration service above, followed by our biocide render
treatment service, below in point 5.
This service is for your day-to-day cleaning of render, that has average organic staining i.e. green, red and some black staining in areas. An example of this is showed in the
photographs.
This service is for your day-to-day cleaning of render which is followed by a biocide
treatment, to help keep the render cleaner for longer.
The application of a high quality HSE approved professional use only biocide. A biocide
treatment will help keep render looking clean, while reducing the need for more intensive
and expensive render restoration cleaning, at a later date.
Specialist biocide treatments for render are essential for maintaining the appearance and durability of render. Homeowners often underestimate the impact of weather on render. Over time, harsh conditions can lead to cracks, discolouration, and mould growth.
Applying anti-fungal solutions, prevents mould and algae growth. It’s crucial to address these problems early, as they can worsen over time.
Our professional-grade biocide acts fast against biological growth on all external hard surfaces, breaking the reproductive cycle of microbial surface contaminants.
Render is a popular exterior finish used on homes across the UK thanks to its smooth, attractive appearance and weather resistance. However, over time, render walls can become stained and discoloured by algae, moss, lichen, and general grime. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We offer professional render cleaning using specialist soft washing technology — a safer, longer-lasting alternative to pressure washing.
Unlike high-pressure cleaning, which can cause cracks or damage to the render surface, our low-pressure soft wash system uses biodegradable cleaning solutions that penetrate deep into the render. This method safely kills algae, moss, and organic growth at the root without harming the render.
Our soft washing doesn’t just make your render look clean — it prevents the return of organic growth by eliminating spores and bacteria. This means your walls stay cleaner for longer, reducing the need for frequent treatments.
We don’t just clean — we treat. Our softwash solution includes a biocidal treatment that destroys moss, algae, and lichen at the source, ensuring your render remains clear and protected from recurring growth.
High-pressure washing can damage render by causing cracks or eroding the surface finish. Our soft wash method is gentle enough to protect all types of render finishes while being powerful enough to tackle years of staining and biological contamination.
