Roof Cleaning Crawley — Soft Wash Specialists
Specialist softwash roof cleaning in Crawley — West Sussex's new town, post-war estates and modern housing cleaned from £325.
Why Crawley roofs need specialist cleaning
Crawley is one of the UK's original new towns, built predominantly from the late 1940s to the 1970s in a series of planned neighbourhoods — Ifield, Bewbush, Southgate, Pound Hill, Three Bridges and others. The housing stock is overwhelmingly concrete-tiled: inter-war semis, 1950s terraces, and extensive estates of 1960s–1980s detached and semi-detached homes. Concrete tile is the most moss-prone common UK roof material, and properties not cleaned since original construction can have decades of biological growth to address.
Crawley's relatively flat terrain means less shade-driven moss than in the Weald to the north, but the combination of high housing density, mature estate plantings, and the consistently damp Low Weald climate means most Crawley properties need treatment every 4–5 years.

Frequently asked questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Crawley?
Soft wash roof cleaning in Crawley typically costs from £325 for a semi-detached and from £425 for a detached home. Bungalows from £275.
Do you clean all the Crawley neighbourhoods?
Yes. We cover Ifield, Bewbush, Southgate, Pound Hill, Three Bridges, Worth, Maidenbower, Langley Green, Tilgate and all the original Crawley New Town neighbourhoods.
Is softwash effective on decades-old moss growth?
Yes. Even heavily moss-covered roofs respond well. For roofs with deep-embedded growth, we combine manual scraping with biocide treatment — the scraping removes the bulk, the biocide kills the remaining spores and prevents regrowth.
How long does softwash last on Crawley's concrete tile estate housing?
Concrete tile responds particularly well to softwash — biocide penetrates the porous surface and keeps growth suppressed for 4–5 years in typical Crawley conditions.
