Why Midhurst roofs need roof cleaning done carefully
Midhurst sits under Chichester District Council, in a historic pocket of West Sussex where green algae film across whole slopes shows up on almost every roof we survey. We work almost entirely with soft-wash and low-pressure methods to protect tile bedding and granulated finishes. If your property is inside the GU29 area — from streets near undefined out to the edges bordering Petworth — roof cleaning done properly means matching the technique to the tile, not throwing the same recipe at every job.

Midhurst has an unusually high share of listed and conservation-area roofs, with handmade clay peg tiles and Horsham stone still in service on many buildings.

moss build-up around chimneys and valleys
