About Us
A family-run business dedicated to protecting and restoring properties across the Ribble Valley.
Meet Justin Waterhouse
Ribble Valley Softwashing is owned and operated by Justin Waterhouse, a Clitheroe local with a deep passion for keeping Lancashire\'s homes and buildings looking their very best. What started as a natural extension of the family\'s successful scaffolding business has grown into a dedicated exterior cleaning service trusted by homeowners, businesses and property managers across the region.
As a family-run operation, every customer deals directly with Justin and his team — there are no call centres, no pushy salespeople, and no subcontractors. This personal approach means higher standards, better communication and results that speak for themselves.
Based right here in Clitheroe at 20 Millbrook Court, we are genuinely local to the Ribble Valley. We understand the specific challenges that Lancashire\'s weather throws at our properties — from the damp conditions that encourage algae growth on render, to the moss that thrives on our rooftops, to the pollution staining on our beautiful stone buildings.

Genuinely Local
Based in Clitheroe BB7, we know the Ribble Valley inside out. From Whalley to Longridge, Sabden to Gisburn, we are your neighbours.
Right Method, Every Time
We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each surface gets the correct treatment — whether that is softwashing, DOFF steam, or controlled pressure washing.
