Roof Cleaning Worthing — Soft Wash Specialists
Softwash roof cleaning in Worthing, from £275. Coastal bungalows and Edwardian terraces get a careful treatment for moss and lichen, because sea air and shallow roofs encourage both.
Why Worthing roofs need specialist cleaning
Worthing sits on the coastal plain, with the South Downs behind and the Channel in front. Bungalows are common here, and their shallow roofs hold moisture longer. Because sea air from the south helps lichen grow, south-facing slopes suffer most.
The Downs keep humidity high on north-facing slopes. Roofs that go decades without a clean can hold deeply rooted lichen, however, so we allow extra time for them.
Deep lichen needs a coastal-grade biocide and a longer dwell time. Because the roots grip the tile, a quick rinse will not remove it. We take the time to treat the surface properly.
Our Worthing 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 Worthing properties do not need scaffolding. However, steep or tall roofs may call for a cherry picker, and we say so in the quote. Most Worthing bungalows are low enough for us to reach from a ladder, which keeps costs down.
Worthing 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 Worthing home.

Frequently asked questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Worthing?
Soft wash roof cleaning in Worthing typically costs from £275 for a bungalow, £325 for a semi-detached and from £425 for a detached home. However, coastal lichen growth may add £50 to the standard rate.
Do you specialise in bungalow roof cleaning?
Bungalows are common in Worthing, and we clean them regularly. Shallow-pitch roofs hold more moss and lichen, but they are also easy to reach. Therefore most jobs need no scaffolding.
Why is coastal lichen harder to remove than ordinary moss?
Because lichen grips the tile with root-like structures, it takes a stronger biocide and a longer dwell time than moss. A quick rinse will not remove it. We plan extra time on seafront roofs.
Do you cover Lancing, Shoreham and the surrounding areas?
We cover Goring-by-Sea, Durrington, Findon, Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea, Broadwater, Tarring, Ferring and East Preston. Although the coast runs on, we confirm each address. The quote form will confirm.
How long does softwash last on a coastal Worthing property?
Inland homes typically stay clean for four to five years, while heavily exposed coastal bungalows may need attention after three to four. All work carries our 5-year regrowth protection guarantee.
