What should you tell us about your roof in East Horsley?
East Horsley's brick-and-flint Lovelace buildings include those around Horsley Towers and on Ockham Road South. If your home has older detailing or later additions, photograph each roof section from the ground. Give the full address so we can identify the property and check its covering and condition.

Can East Horsley's Lovelace slate roofs take steam?
Yes: natural slate suits roof pressure washing as well as the hand scrape, and the Lovelace cottages of the 1860s on Lynx Hill and Ockham Road South have slate roofs over flint rubble. Older houses the estate remodelled keep plain tiled roofs, which are scraped by hand unless the tiles are modern clay.
Frank Chown designed arts and crafts houses across the village from the inter-war years; if yours is one, or newer, send a photograph of the roof with your quote request.

| Caravan or mobile home | 0.2% |
Are East Horsley's leafy roads a factor in moss?
They can be, because moss tends to settle on a roof that trees hold in shade and damp, and most of East Horsley is very leafy, with common limes along many through-roads. Woodland of ash, beech, hornbeam, oak and silver birch covers about 36% of the parish, and the dead leaves that fall on a roof tend to lodge there.
If a lime or other roadside tree shades your house, photograph the roof from that side and include it with 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?
A three-year moss-free guarantee is part of manual moss removal from £599, along with gutter clearing and Pureseal Bac Clear Pro.
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.

Great work completely got rid of all moss and treated to keep away. Dave & the boys were bang on time and barely knew they were there while clearing the roof. Highly recommended

Dave and his team did a really good job cleaning our roof. Dave came out first to have a look and provide a quote, and the work was booked in for a week or two later. They steam cleaned the roof and then applied a treatment, as well as cleaning all the gutters and treating the patio. They also tidied everything up properly before they left. The roof looks fantastic and almost like new. Really happy with the work and would happily recommend Dave and his team.
