Roof Cleaning Chichester — Soft Wash Specialists
Softwash roof cleaning in Chichester and the PO18 to PO19 area. Georgian town houses and listed buildings get a gentle method and a proper check first, because the materials tend to be old.
Why Chichester roofs need specialist cleaning
Chichester is a Georgian cathedral city with a Roman street grid and a large conservation area. Georgian town houses and Victorian villas stand beside older homes with clay plain tile or slate. Because some roofs use rarer materials, we look closely before we start.
The city sits on the coastal plain, with the South Downs to the north and Chichester Harbour to the south. Because damp air and some sea influence reach well inland, homes in Tangmere, Lavant and Bosham often show lichen typical of near-coastal places.
Each council sets its own rules for listed buildings and conservation areas. If your home is one of them, check with Chichester District Council before any work. Then tell us when you ask for a quote, because that helps us plan the method.
Our Chichester 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 Chichester properties do not need scaffolding. However, steep or tall roofs may call for a cherry picker, and we say so in the quote. Georgian streets in the city centre can be tight, so we plan parking and access with you.
Chichester 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 Chichester home.

Frequently asked questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Chichester?
Soft wash roof cleaning in Chichester typically costs from £350 for a semi-detached and from £450 for a detached home. Bungalows start from £295. However, we quote Georgian, listed and heritage properties individually after we check the roof.
Are you experienced with Chichester's Georgian and heritage buildings?
Chichester's conservation area has many 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 Selsey, Bognor Regis and the coastal villages?
We cover Selsey, Bognor Regis, Tangmere, Lavant, East Wittering, Fishbourne, Bosham, Southbourne, Emsworth and Sidlesham. Although the coast is spread out, the service is the same. The quote form will confirm your address.
Do you provide heritage method statements for listed Chichester buildings?
We can explain our method in writing for listed buildings and conservation area homes. This helps because a council may want details first. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is softwash safe on clay plain tile and natural slate?
It can be, at the correct dilution. We clean both at a lower biocide strength than modern concrete tile. We never use pressure washing, because it can damage them.
