Is slate on Lightwater's villas cleaned differently from tiles?
Yes, partly: the grey slate on Lightwater's red brick villas of 1890 to 1915 can be cleaned by hand or, where it is natural slate, with roof pressure washing, while the tiled roofs that newer homes tend to have are cleaned by hand. Those villas stand in the village centre, on Grasmere, Macdonald and Junction Roads, while the estates of the 1960s to the mid-1980s are among the newer homes that tend to have tiled roofs.
Say whether your house is one of the older slate-roofed villas when you ask for a quote.

Are tall pines and birches a moss risk for Lightwater roofs?
Yes, when they stand close: pines, birches and oaks beside a Lightwater house can shade its roof and keep it damp, which suits moss. From High Curley the village is screened by mature Scots pine, silver birch, oak and garden trees, and trees, hedges, grass verges and mature gardens shape many of its roads. Birch and oak leaves that fall on a roof lodge on its surface, where dirt and moss spores collect.
If tall pines stand near your house, photograph the roof slopes facing them and the gutter run, then add them to 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 includes gutter clearing and Pureseal Bac Clear Pro from £599, and a three-year moss-free guarantee stands behind it.
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.

Excellent. Came very quickly to quote and didn’t have to wait long for the job to be scheduled. On the day they did a great job of clearing the roof of years of moss. Obv this creates loads of mess all around and they very efficiently cleared it all up including where it had blown onto the neighbour’s. I’d use again and highly recommend.

The Moss Men, comprising of David and his team of two arrived punctually and were respectful of our property and surroundings. They worked diligently throughout the day clearing up mess continually as they progressed with the job of clearing moss off of our roof which had been untouched since the house was built in 2000!
The removal of all the moss was successful and we are now waiting for the Biocide treatment used to complete its cycle which can take up to 12 weeks to see the real difference. But the moss has stopped falling off our roof which is just what we wanted!
We were not looking forward to having the job done although it needed to be desperately but the professional way the work was carried out made the whole experience much better than anticipated!!
We would have no hesitation recommending The Moss Men to friends and family!Read Lauri Myers's review on Google
