Roof Cleaning Worthing — Soft Wash Specialists
Specialist softwash roof cleaning in Worthing — the Sussex coast's bungalow town, Edwardian terraces and coastal lichen specialists.
Why Worthing roofs need specialist cleaning
Worthing sits on the Sussex coastal plain with the South Downs behind and the Channel ahead — and its roof cleaning challenges are driven by both. The town is known for its Edwardian and inter-war bungalows: a property type with shallow roof pitches that retain moisture longer, dry more slowly, and accumulate moss faster than standard pitched roofs. Coastal salt air from the south accelerates lichen growth on all south-facing surfaces, while the Downs microclimate keeps humidity high on north-facing slopes.
Worthing's demographic — a high proportion of retired homeowners — means properties often go decades without professional cleaning. We regularly treat Worthing bungalows with deeply embedded lichen requiring specialist coastal-grade biocide at extended dwell times.

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. Coastal lichen growth may add £50 to the standard rate.
Do you specialise in bungalow roof cleaning?
Yes — bungalows are among our most common Worthing jobs. Shallow-pitch roofs accumulate moss and lichen faster than standard pitched roofs, and we have the right access equipment to cover every section without scaffolding in most cases.
Why is coastal lichen harder to remove than ordinary moss?
Lichen has root-like structures (rhizines) that penetrate the tile surface. It requires a higher-concentration biocide with a longer dwell time than standard moss. We use a coastal-grade formulation for all Worthing seafront properties.
Do you cover Lancing, Shoreham and the surrounding areas?
Yes. We cover Goring-by-Sea, Durrington, Findon, Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea, Broadwater, Tarring, Ferring and East Preston.
How long does softwash last on a coastal Worthing property?
Typically 4–5 years for inland Worthing properties; 3–4 years for heavily exposed coastal-facing bungalows. All work is backed by our 5-year regrowth protection guarantee.
