Roof Cleaning Canterbury — Soft Wash Specialists
Specialist softwash roof cleaning in Canterbury and the CT1–4 area — including heritage, listed and period properties.
Why Canterbury roofs need specialist cleaning
Canterbury is one of England's most historically significant cities — and its housing stock reflects that heritage. The areas around St Dunstan's, the Wincheap district, and the village belt of Barham, Bridge and Chartham have high concentrations of period and listed properties with clay tile, natural slate, and even Kentish ragstone detailing. These materials require careful handling: the correct biocide dilution for listed work, no pressure washing on any surface, and in some cases a pre-application survey.
Canterbury's position in the Great Stour river valley also means persistent damp conditions. The canopy of mature trees in the suburbs and surrounding villages accelerates biological growth on north-facing slopes — even modern concrete tile properties in Sturry and Blean need treatment every 4–5 years.

Are you experienced with listed buildings and heritage properties?
