What happens to a Horsham Slab roof in Horley before any cleaning?
A Horsham Slab roof in Horley gets a close look before any cleaning, since stone slab sits outside what either one covers: the hand method is for tiles and natural slate, and steam for natural slate and modern clay tiles only. On Church Road, the historic heart, older buildings have steep peg tile or Horsham Slab roofs and the late Victorian houses have low slate roofs. The Victorian and Edwardian villas of Massetts Road and Russells Crescent have mostly plain tile roofs. Peg and plain tiles are cleaned by hand.
Photograph a slab roof closely and send the pictures with your quote request.

Why can roofs near Horley's Church Road stay damp enough for moss?
Roofs near Church Road in Horley can stay damp enough for moss because the large willow, alder and poplar around St Bartholomew's churchyard, with oak on drier ground, can shade them, and a shaded roof stays damp for longer. On Massetts Road, detached houses sit in grounds dominated by landscape, with native oak and horse chestnut. Leaves from those trees lodge on the tiles as they fall.
If a willow or poplar stands near your house, photograph the roof and gutters on that side for 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?
For manual moss removal from £599, gutter clearing and Pureseal Bac Clear Pro are included, plus 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.
