Roof cleaning in Billingshurst

Dave has been cleaning roofs since 2004, and he and his sons would take on Billingshurst's slate roofs too.
What should you tell us about your roof in Billingshurst?
If you have an older home in Billingshurst's historic village setting, tell us which roof details you want to preserve. Photographs of the covering and previous repairs show us its condition. You can then discuss moss removal with a clear explanation of the likely finish.

Is steam right for Billingshurst's slate roofs?
Yes: natural slate suits both the hand scrape and roof pressure washing, the hot, low-pressure steam method. Slate became the village's most used roof covering from the early 19th century, and the late Victorian houses north of Jengers Mead are red brick under slate. Older roofs vary more, with plain clay tiles and some pantiles from the mid-17th century, which are cleaned by hand, and Horsham stone slabs, a local feature that neither method covers.
Because the team looks at a stone roof before offering any method, tell us first if yours is Horsham stone.

Can Billingshurst's copses encourage roof moss?
Where they stand close to a house they can, since neighbouring trees keep a roof in shade and damp, and moss tends to flourish there. Substantial trees and a wooded area lie to the east of the old village, and copses dot the small fields of the Weald around it.
If a copse or tall hedge is next to your house, photograph the roof slope facing it and mention how close it is.
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?
The manual package, from £599, clears the gutters, applies Pureseal Bac Clear Pro and carries a three-year moss-free guarantee.
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.

This was quite a big undertaking and The Moss Men have done an excellent job. Fairly priced for the scale of works, all carried out professionally and with guarantees to address anything we were unhappy with.
