Why Petworth roofs need biocide treatment done carefully
We cover Petworth on biocide treatment from our base in Petersfield, and we know the town well enough to price it properly rather than guess. The town is dense with listed properties inside the conservation area, and many roofs carry original clay peg tiles or Horsham slabs that need particularly careful handling. That's why one street off undefined might need a full scrape-and-treat while another needs only a light soft-wash pass. We also handle Midhurst and Arundel on the same trips, so trades don't sit idle between jobs.

Our process in Petworth
- 1
Biocide is applied as a soft-wash spray across every pitch, saturating the tile surface so spores are killed at the root.
- 2
We time treatment for a dry weather window so the biocide has hours on the tile before any rain washes it off.
- 3
Elevations under heavy tree shade get a second pass — that's where regrowth always starts first.
- 4
We don't cheat by watering biocide down; the strength we quote is the strength we apply.

Petworth biocide treatment FAQs
How often should biocide be reapplied — is that the same in Petworth?
Every three to five years is normal, sooner if your property is under heavy tree cover or close to the coast. In Petworth specifically, sheltered valleys and heavy shade from petworth park estate trees keep tiles damp for months, so we plan the visit around that.
Will the roof look different straight away — is that the same in Petworth?
No — biocide kills algae and lichen at the root, and the dead growth then weathers off over the following months, gradually revealing clean tile. In Petworth specifically, sheltered valleys and heavy shade from petworth park estate trees keep tiles damp for months, so we plan the visit around that.
Is biocide safe for pets and plants — is that the same in Petworth?
Yes — the products we use are designed for domestic roof application and are safe once dry, though we cover sensitive planting during the spray itself.
