Petworth is West Sussex's most expensive town by average property value — a market town of Georgian townhouses, country estates and period cottages set within the National Park landscape that surrounds Petworth House. The properties here are among the finest in the county — period townhouses, country houses and rural estates where protecting long-term value and maintaining exceptional standards is simply part of how these homes are looked after. Second homes and holiday properties are equally well served. Simply Softeners provides professional water softener installation across the area — protecting the plumbing and appliances that matter most in a premium property.
Despite its premium setting, Petworth has hard water. At 290ppm — classified as hard — the water supply here causes limescale accumulation in boilers, appliances, pipework and bathroom fittings at a rate significantly above the national average.
With average property values exceeding £999,000, Petworth and the surrounding GU28 postcode represents the highest-value residential market in West Sussex. The area attracts buyers from London seeking country estates, period townhouses and significant rural properties.
For premium properties, the case for a water softener is even more compelling than for standard homes. The value of the assets being protected — new kitchens, quality bathroom fittings, underfloor heating systems, high-specification appliances — is proportionally higher. And the expectations of the people living in them tend to be higher too.
We don't operate a call centre or send out sales teams. When you contact Simply Softeners, you deal directly with the people who will survey your property and carry out the installation.
Every job starts with a free home survey — typically 30 minutes — where we assess your property, confirm the right unit for your household size and water hardness, and provide a written fixed price. The price we quote is the price you pay. No revisions after the survey, no additions on installation day.
Installation is completed in a single visit, typically taking 2–4 hours. We work around your schedule, leave the property tidy, and don't leave until you're satisfied and fully briefed on the system.
