Roof Cleaning Tonbridge — Soft Wash Specialists
Specialist softwash roof cleaning in Tonbridge and the Medway valley — covering TN9, TN10, TN11 and all surrounding villages.
Why Tonbridge roofs need specialist cleaning
Tonbridge sits on the River Medway in a low-lying valley surrounded by the High Weald. The combination of river valley damp, mature wooded hillsides above the town, and a housing stock spanning Victorian terraces around the Higham Lane area to post-war estates in Tonbridge Sands creates persistent moss and algae conditions. North-facing roof slopes in the valley bottom see very little sun and can be heavily covered in as little as three years.
The river valley also means more flooding-adjacent moisture in the soil and air year-round. Properties closest to the Medway corridor — including significant stretches of the A26 — consistently show faster biological regrowth than those on higher ground above the town.

Frequently asked questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Tonbridge?
Soft wash roof cleaning in Tonbridge typically costs from £325 for a semi-detached and from £425 for a detached home. Bungalows from £275. Every quote is fixed-price and includes biocide treatment and gutter clearance of fallen moss.
Do you cover the villages around Tonbridge?
Yes. We cover Hildenborough, Hadlow, East Peckham, Leigh, Shipbourne, Tudeley, Capel, Five Oak Green, Paddock Wood and the surrounding villages.
Is softwash safe for old Kent tile?
Yes. Softwash uses low pressure combined with a biocide — it's gentler than rainwater and is the only safe method for traditional Kent peg tile and clay plain tile. We never use pressure washing.
How long does softwash last in a damp river valley like Tonbridge?
Typically 4–5 years. Properties closest to the Medway with significant tree cover may see slightly faster regrowth — we offer a discounted biocide top-up every 2–3 years for these cases.
Will the biocide harm my garden?
No. The biocide breaks down into salt and water within hours of application. We pre-water surrounding plants and rinse overspray. In thousands of jobs we have had no issues with plants, ponds or pets.
