What should you tell us about your roof in Ewell?
Ewell Village and Ewell Downs Road with The Green are separate conservation areas. Whether you live in one of them or elsewhere in Ewell, show us any changes between the roof sections. If your home mixes original and replacement tiles, photographs of each help us identify the materials and likely cleaning result.

Can Ewell's handmade peg tiles and Welsh slate be cleaned alike?
Not entirely: handmade clay peg tiles in Ewell are cleaned by hand, while natural Welsh slate can be cleaned by hand or with roof pressure washing. In the old village the steep roofs of the timber-framed buildings are almost always peg tiled, and West Street has decorative fishscale clay tiles. Cheap Welsh slate came with the railway in the mid-19th century and went on shallower roofs. On Ewell Downs Road, built from the late 1920s, many handmade tiles have been replaced with machine-made ones, which are cleaned by hand as well.
Mention whether your roof is handmade tile, machine-made tile or slate when you ask for a quote.

Why can trees along the Hogsmill keep Ewell roofs damp?
Mature trees along the Hogsmill can shade the Ewell roofs closest to them, and a roof kept shady and damp by nearby trees is where moss tends to flourish. Its ponds and banks form a green band running north-west from Bourne Hall park, much of it under mature trees. Many trees in the park and around the two churches are 19th-century specimens. Leaves dropping from them lodge on the roof surface.
If one of those trees stands beside your house, photograph the slope it shades and the gutter below, and send them 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?
Hand moss removal, from £599, ends with clear gutters, a Pureseal Bac Clear Pro coat on the roof 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.

I recently had my roof cleaned by David and Callum, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish they were professional, friendly, and clearly took pride in their work. They arrived on time, explained the process, and worked efficiently while making sure everything was done safely and properly.
The difference in my roof is amazing – it looks so much cleaner and has really improved the overall appearance of the house. They were also very tidy, making sure everything was cleaned up afterwards.
David and Callum were both polite, hardworking, and clearly experienced. I would highly recommend their roof cleaning service to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality job. Thanks again for the fantastic work!Read d'Arcy Clarke's review on Google
