Roof cleaning in Epsom
Moss Men Surrey offers roof cleaning in Epsom, with a written quote within 24 hours and a method suited to your roof.
Epsom's handmade peg tiles and Welsh slate would both be cleaned by Dave and his sons, and roof cleaning has been Dave's trade since 2004.
What should you tell us about your roof in Epsom?
Epsom Town Centre and Chalk Lane are conservation areas. If your home is around either, tell us about any previous roof work when you enquire. Photographs of repaired sections and replacement tiles help us check the covering and explain the cleaning method proposed for your home.

Buff plain tiles with moss along every joint.
Which Epsom roofs need cleaning by hand?
Those with handmade peg tiles, which take the hand scrape alone, while Welsh slate suits either method, the hand scrape or hot, low-pressure steam. Around Chalk Lane, white weatherboarded cottages keep steep roofs of handmade peg tiles, and on part of the High Street, Victorian parapets hide peg-tile roofs. Most of College Road's historic buildings date from 1895 to 1913, and most roofs there are natural Welsh slate, gabled or hipped.
Tell us which covering yours has when you ask for a quote, and if a parapet hides it from the street, send a photograph of the roof itself.

Does Epsom Common's woodland affect moss on roofs?
Yes, where its trees stand near a house, because roof moss tends to take hold where branches keep the slopes shady and damp. The Common, west of the town centre, is now mostly woodland, from ancient oak woods to younger birch, and closer in, College Road has mature trees near its houses.
Where branches reach over your roof or the garden meets the Common, photograph the slope on that side and add it to 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?
Manual moss removal clears the gutters and treats the roof with Pureseal Bac Clear Pro, from £599, under 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.
