What should you tell us about your roof in Caterham?
Whether your home is in Caterham on the Hill or Caterham Valley, show us the approach as well as the roof. You can include paths, driveways and obstacles in a ground-level photograph. That helps us identify any access equipment and explain its cost in the written quote.

Which cleaning do Caterham's villa roofs need?
The hand scrape, because their roofs are typically handmade clay tiles, and roof pressure washing is for natural slate and modern clay only. Besides the Edwardian villas facing Queens Park, the 1930s cottage-style houses of Dome Hill and Aldercombe Lane use hand-made clay tiles. In Harestone Valley, clay tiles are among the common materials of the large detached houses on the valley floor, while some Victorian lodges and houses on Harestone Valley Road and Tupwood Lane have slate, and natural slate suits either method.
Before you ask for a quote, check whether your roof is tile or slate, and send a photo if it is hard to tell.
| Type of home | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Detached | 25.5% |
| Semi-detached | 29.0% |
| Terraced | 13.3% |
| Flat or maisonette | 32.2% |
| Caravan or mobile home | 0.0% |
Which Caterham homes have enough trees for moss?
Those in the leafier parts, since moss tends to like the shade and damp that trees give a roof. Harestone Valley is one: a leafy residential area, with large detached houses along the valley floor.
Where trees crowd your plot, describe which side they stand on and send a photo of the roof slope they shade.
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?
Manual moss removal, from £599, takes in the gutters, a Pureseal Bac Clear Pro spray and 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.

The Moss Men did a fantastic job on our roof. It looks amazing now. They also did a brilliant job in tidying up the fallen moss. They were very polite and respectful too. Communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend them.
