What should you tell us about your roof in Banstead?
If your Banstead home is near Banstead Downs or Park Downs, show us the surroundings immediately beside your roof. You might have an open slope on one side and overhanging branches on the other. Point out where moss or leaves collect so your quote covers the work you need.

Deep moss pushing up the edges of plain tiles.
Why are Banstead's peg tile roofs cleaned by hand?
Peg tiles are handmade clay, and only natural slate and modern clay tiles go through roof pressure washing, so the old village's peg tile roofs take moss removal by hand. Its pre-Victorian buildings have peg tile roofs pitched at about 50 degrees, while mid-Victorian houses there are mostly roofed in slate, often low and hipped. Slate, the later covering, can take either method when it is natural slate.
Tell us roughly when your house was built, or send a photo of the roof from the road.

Which Banstead trees can encourage roof moss?
Any that stand close enough to keep a roof shady and damp, the conditions moss tends to favour, and the old village has many: native yew, holly and oak from the chalk downland, limes kept from old avenues, and wellingtonia and Scots pine in gardens. Park Road keeps historic limes and yews and grows more wooded towards Apsley.
If a yew, lime or pine stands over your roof, photograph the slope beneath it and attach that to your enquiry.
Which cleaning method suits your roof?
Your roof can be cleaned by Moss Men Surrey using manual moss removal or roof pressure washing (hot, low-pressure steam). The team checks your roof covering, its condition and access before recommending either method.
| Service | Which roofs it suits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Manual moss removal | Manual moss removal suits concrete tiles, clay tiles and natural slate. The covering and its condition decide whether scraping is right for your roof; product-specific manufacturer advice can rule it out. | From £599. |
| Roof pressure washing | Roof pressure washing suits natural slate and modern clay tiles, once the team has checked the covering, its condition, access and the manufacturer's guidance. | Starts at around £750, depending on the roof; written quote within 24 hours. |
What does manual moss removal include?
Your gutters are cleared and the roof treated with Pureseal Bac Clear Pro, with a three-year moss-free guarantee, from £599.
The biocide is the treatment we apply after removing moss.
Ridge tiles, hip tiles, valleys, verges and gutters are checked on every roof. Ridges are the top joins, hips are the sloping joins, and verges are the roof edges.
If our team damages your roof while cleaning, the repairs are included. Existing defects are considered separately when the team looks at your roof.
Artificial slate can look worse after cleaning. We discuss that risk with you before any work.
We never cold call; we check for nesting birds and bats first and stop if we find them; we check cement slates for asbestos before any work.
