What should you tell us about your roof in Littlehampton?

You can also point out repairs or different coverings for us to check before recommending a cleaning method.

How are the slate roofs of Littlehampton's Beach Town cleaned?
Slate, the roof covering recorded on the listed mid-19th-century houses of Western Road in Littlehampton's Beach Town, is cleaned by hand, and natural slate can also take roof pressure washing. One early 19th-century house on Western Road has a slate roof with Horsham slabs along its base, and Horsham stone is looked at before any method is offered. Customers hear before any work starts that artificial slate can come out looking worse once cleaned.
If you know whether your slate is natural or man-made, say so in your quote request.
| Type of home | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Detached | 17.0% |
| Semi-detached | 24.9% |
| Terraced | 25.2% |
| Flat or maisonette | 31.8% |
| Caravan or mobile home | 1.0% |
Which slope of a Littlehampton seafront roof is likelier to grow moss?
On Littlehampton's sea-facing terraces the rear slope, which faces north, is the likelier to grow moss and lichen, because a north-facing slope stays damp for longer. The tall houses of South Terrace face the sea, with Western Road behind them. Spores of moss and lichen are blown onto a roof and root in the dirt that its rough surface filters out of rainwater, and a low-pitched roof holds that water longer than a steep one.
Photograph the rear slope and its gutters as well as the front, 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?
A three-year moss-free guarantee comes with the manual moss removal package from £599, which clears gutters and adds Pureseal Bac Clear Pro.
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 Moss Men did a fantastic job on our roof. It looks amazing now. They also did a brilliant job in tidying up the fallen moss. They were very polite and respectful too. Communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend them.
