What should you tell us about your roof in Leatherhead?
If your Leatherhead home has older roof details within the conservation area, show us the valleys and verges alongside the moss. Tell us about any leaks or visible defects you have noticed. We can discuss the condition of those sections with you before setting out a cleaning proposal.

Which Bridge Street roofs in Leatherhead can be cleaned by hand?
Leatherhead's listed Bridge Street buildings show slate and tile, and both can be cleaned by hand. Its early 19th-century houses have slate or modern tiled roofs, and a former bank of 1928 has red tiles. One building, probably late 15th century, is different: red tiles with four courses of stone slates over the eaves, and slate on its early 19th-century rear addition. Stone is looked at before any method is offered, and natural slate can also take roof pressure washing.
Point out any stone courses along your eaves when you ask for a quote.

Do yews near Leatherhead make moss likelier on nearby roofs?
Yes, where they stand close to a Leatherhead house: yews and wooded slopes can shade a roof and keep it damp, the conditions in which moss tends to flourish. Parks and plantations cover the steep slopes either side of the Mole valley, yew grows thickly on the chalk downs nearby, and Norbury Park nearby keeps ancient yew woodland. Leatherhead Common, on the clay to the north, has some woodland too. A slope facing north stays damp for longer than one facing south.
If your home sits on a wooded slope, send photographs of its north side and the gutters along it 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 moss comes off by hand and Pureseal Bac Clear Pro goes on, gutters included, from £599 and 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.

Dave and his team cleaned the roof of my semi-detached house, conservatory, and garage ealier today. Our roof had been neglected for years and was in need of some TLC. We're very satisfied with the result. They gave a fair quote. They arrived exactly on time. They removed 3 garden bags worth of moss. The garden and patio were left spotlessly clean and tidy. The roof and gutters have a new lease of life. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
