Roof Cleaning Farnham — Soft Wash Specialists
Softwash roof cleaning in Farnham and the GU9 to GU10 area. Georgian town houses, Victorian villas and village cottages all get a gentle, careful clean, since many roofs are old.
Why Farnham roofs need specialist cleaning
Farnham is a market town with Georgian brick in the centre and Victorian villas near West Street and Castle Street. Villages and farmhouses spread out towards the Hampshire border. Because the town sits in a sheltered valley, north-facing slopes hold moisture well.
Woodland around the area adds shade and damp. As a result, moss and algae gather on many roofs, especially under trees. Older clay plain tiles in the historic core need extra care.
Because some old clay tiles are hard to replace, we use the lowest effective biocide strength. We check the tile type and condition before we quote. We never use a pressure jet on them.
Our Farnham roof cleaning service
We fix the price before we start, because you should know the cost up front. Each visit includes the steps below.
- Soft wash biocide treatment (no pressure washing)
- Manual moss scraping where required
- Gutter clearance of fallen moss debris
- 5-year regrowth protection guarantee on the treatment
- Free post-job inspection report with photos
- Optional roof coating and colour restoration
We work from our own roof ladders or telescopic softwash lances, so most Farnham properties do not need scaffolding. However, steep or tall roofs may call for a cherry picker, and we say so in the quote. Narrow streets in the historic centre can limit access, so tell us about parking when you ask for a quote.
Farnham pricing
Roof cleaning has no single price, because it depends on roof size, pitch, moss coverage and access. For example, a small bungalow with light algae costs less than a tall detached house with thick moss. The quickest way to an accurate number is a free, no-obligation quote for your own Farnham home.

Frequently asked questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Farnham?
Soft wash roof cleaning in Farnham typically costs from £375 for a semi-detached and from £475 for a detached home. Bungalows start from £325. However, we quote Georgian and listed properties individually after we check the roof details.
Are you experienced with Farnham's Georgian and heritage buildings?
Farnham's conservation area has fine Georgian streets. For older homes we use gentler mixes on clay plain tile and slate. However, check with your council whether consent applies before any work on a listed building.
Do you cover Wrecclesham, Rowledge and the surrounding villages?
We cover Wrecclesham, Rowledge, Tilford, Frensham, Churt, Elstead, Seale, Runfold, Tongham and Badshot Lea. Although they sit close together, we confirm each address first. The quote form is the quickest route.
Is softwash safe on old clay plain tile?
It can be, at the right dilution. Since old plain tiles are delicate, we never use pressure washing on them. We set the biocide strength by the age and condition of the tile.
How long does a clean last in a sheltered valley like Farnham?
Treatment typically lasts four to five years. Shaded roofs may regrow sooner, however, because the valley holds moisture. Ask us about timing when you request a quote.
