Why does a Horsham stone roof get a closer look than clay tiles?
A Horsham stone roof gets a closer look because stone sits outside both cleaning methods, while Horsham's clay tiles go straight to hand cleaning, and natural slate can be cleaned by hand or with roof pressure washing. The steep stone roofs of the Causeway and the hipped stone roofs in the town centre are looked at before any method is offered. Victorian terraces west of the railway, on Barttelot Road, are mainly clay tiled with some slate, and Edwardian houses on Richmond Road have plain clay tiles.
Tell us whether your roof is clay tile, slate or Horsham stone when you ask for a quote.

Why might a Horsham roof near the forest's edge grow moss?
A Horsham roof beside woodland can grow moss because trees close to a house keep its slopes shady and damp, and the dead leaves that fall on it lodge in the surface. On the east and south-east the town runs into St Leonard's Forest and Chesworth Farm. Mature trees line North Parade and North Street, the Causeway has its avenue of limes, and Lime Avenue is named after the trees on its verges. A slope that faces north and stays damp for longer can attract moss and lichen.
If limes or forest trees overhang your house, photograph that slope and its gutters 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?
The gutters are cleared and Pureseal Bac Clear Pro is sprayed as part of manual moss removal from £599, with 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.
