What should you tell us about your roof in Hindhead?

What cleans the red tiled roofs of Hindhead's Victorian villas?
Hand removal cleans red tiled roofs, a method that suits clay and concrete tiles alike. The house the scientist John Tyndall built at Hindhead, typical of the villas that followed it, is red brick with first floors tile-hung in fishscale bands and red tiled roofs with overhanging eaves.
Tell us whether your roof is clay tile, concrete tile or slate when you ask for a quote.

Do pines crowding a Hindhead house let moss settle on its roof?
They can: where pines stand close to a Hindhead house, its roof can stay shady and damp, and that is when moss can take hold. The old villas were built among pine and heather, and acres of National Trust woodland and heathland lie around the village. Dead leaves and dirt that settle on a roof give moss spores somewhere to root.
If pines shelter one slope of your roof, photograph it and the gutters below, and send those pictures 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?
Costing from £599, the hand method takes in the gutters and a Pureseal Bac Clear Pro treatment, and a three-year moss-free guarantee follows.
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.

The results of the work done by Dave and his team on our house in Oxted have been excellent. The roof looks so much cleaner with all evidence of moss nowhere to be seen, and biocide carefully applied to across the whole roof. The way they clean does not damage the structure of the underlying roof felt or alter the positioning of tiles, so we were very pleased to see the cleaning process undertaken with care and concern for our roof and tiles. The guys doing the work were very courteous an took the time to clean up at the end of the process. Would definitely recommend!
