Roof & Render Cleaning in Lewes

FAQs
Roof & Render Cleaning in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide roof & render cleaning across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
Why is roof cleaning done as a soft wash rather than pressure washing?
Direct high-pressure water can dislodge or crack roof tiles and damage render, so roof and render cleaning uses a low-pressure biocidal treatment instead — it kills moss and algae at the root without the physical risk of blasting the surface.
How quickly will I see results after treatment?
Some improvement is visible soon after treatment, but moss and algae typically continue to weather off and fade over the following weeks as the biocide takes full effect, rather than disappearing instantly.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
