Roof Cleaning Crawley — Soft Wash Specialists
Softwash roof cleaning in Crawley and the RH10 to RH11 area, from £325. Concrete-tiled estates in Ifield, Bewbush and Three Bridges suit softwash well, because the tile is porous.
Why Crawley roofs need specialist cleaning
Crawley grew as a post-war new town, with planned neighbourhoods such as Ifield, Bewbush, Southgate, Pound Hill and Three Bridges. Most homes have concrete tiles, from inter-war semis to estates of 1960s to 1980s houses. Because concrete is porous, moss and algae grip it easily.
The land is flat, so shade matters less than in the Weald to the north. However, dense housing, mature estate planting and the damp Low Weald climate still keep roofs wet. Roofs that go years without a clean can carry thick growth.
Decades of growth can look alarming, but softwash handles it well. We may scrape the thickest moss by hand and then treat the surface. Since the tile is porous, the biocide soaks in and keeps working.
Our Crawley 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 Crawley properties do not need scaffolding. However, steep or tall roofs may call for a cherry picker, and we say so in the quote. Crawley's estate houses usually have simple roofs, so most jobs run smoothly.
Crawley 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 Crawley home.

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 start from £275. However, we confirm a fixed price only once we have your details.

Is softwash effective on decades-old moss growth?
Even heavy moss responds well. For deep growth, we may scrape by hand first. The scraping removes the bulk, while the biocide kills the spores that remain.
How long does softwash last on Crawley's concrete tile estate housing?
Concrete tile is porous, so the biocide soaks in and holds growth back. Treatment typically lasts four to five years here. Shaded roofs may regrow sooner, however.
Do you cover Horley and Copthorne?
