Roof cleaning in Esher
Moss Men Surrey offers roof cleaning in Esher, with a written quote within 24 hours and a method suited to your roof.
Esher has both slate and handmade clay tile, and either would be cleaned by Dave, a roof cleaner since 2004, and his sons.
What should you tell us about your roof in Esher?
If your home is in Esher's conservation area, include any known property-specific requirements with your enquiry. Ground-level photographs of the hips, ridges and covering help us check older roof details. We will discuss visible concerns with you before proposing cleaning.

Why might two Esher roofs need different cleaning?
Because their coverings differ: natural slate can take either method, handmade clay tile only the hand scrape, and Esher has both, with a little thatch and Horsham stone besides. Clive Road's houses of 1925 to 1935 have steep roofs of handmade clay tiles, a couple are thatched, and a few carry pantiles or Horsham stone slabs at the eaves. On the High Street and Church Street, mid-19th-century buildings have low-pitched slate roofs, some hidden behind parapets.
Thatch and stone fall outside both methods, so mention either before you ask for a quote.

Why can moss take hold on roofs in leafy Esher?
Moss tends to grow where trees keep a roof shady and damp, and parts of Esher are richly planted. Clive Road's front gardens hold a massive London plane, a weeping ash, yews and a mature Wellingtonia, and trees along Lammas Lane screen the road's houses. To the south, Arbrook Common, one of the Esher Commons, has woodland of oak, birch, sweet chestnut and beech.
If one of these trees stands near your house, photograph the slope it shades and include that 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?
Pureseal Bac Clear Pro goes on after the moss comes off by hand, with gutter clearing and a three-year moss-free guarantee, from £599.
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.
