If you live near the Worth Way in Crawley Down and trees shade part of your roof, show us the affected slope and gutter together. Tell us where you see moss or leaf build-up. Your photographs help us consider drainage alongside the appearance you want from cleaning.

When is a Crawley Down roof cleaned by hand?
Whenever it is tiled, in clay or concrete, while natural slate can take the hand scrape or roof pressure washing. Older listed houses on Sandy Lane and Sandhill Lane carry a mix: Horsham slab on a farmhouse of the 17th century or earlier, stone and fishscale slates on a pair of early 19th-century cottages, and slate on another of that age.
Most homes here date from 1930 to 1950 or from 1970 to 1980; for one of those, send a photo of the tiles, and say first if your roof is Horsham slab or stone slate, which neither method covers.

Why might Crawley Down roofs near woods gather moss?
Because moss tends to grow on roofs that nearby trees keep shady and damp, and the village is ringed by fields, shaws and woodland, some of it ancient. Post-war plotland homes at Furnace Wood stand in woodland, and the plateau's woods mix oak, ash and hornbeam with hazel, beech and sweet chestnut.
If your plot backs onto woodland, send a picture of the roof slope facing the trees with your quote request.
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?
Pureseal Bac Clear Pro and cleared gutters are included when moss is removed by hand from £599, with 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.
