Midhurst's hipped clay tile roofs would be a hand-cleaning task for Dave, who has cleaned roofs since 2004, and his sons.
What should you tell us about your roof in Midhurst?

Photographs taken from a safe position help us judge the covering and access together before preparing your quote.

Why are the hipped clay tile roofs of Midhurst cleaned by hand?
Hipped clay tile roofs in Midhurst are cleaned by hand because hand removal is the method for clay tiles, and handmade clay tiles are the most popular roof covering in the old town, where hipped roofs are common. Plain tile roofs there pitch at about 40 degrees. Natural Welsh slate, used from the early 19th century, sits on shallower roofs and can be cleaned by hand or with roof pressure washing. Victorian and Edwardian builders went back to steep roofs with street-facing gables, on suburbs such as Chichester, Bepton and Petersfield Roads.
Send a close photograph of your tiles or slate with your quote request.

Do Cowdray Park's old trees affect moss on Midhurst roofs?
They can, for the houses nearest them: Cowdray Park, east of old Midhurst, holds ancient and mature oak, lime, beech and chestnut, and a roof that trees shade stays damp, where moss tends to flourish. Alder and willow line the Rother, and St Ann's Hill, above the historic core, is thickly wooded on three sides. The town's shallower slate roofs also shed rain more slowly than its steep clay ones, and a roof that drains slowly gives moss longer to settle.
If your home sits below mature trees, photograph the slope that stays shaded longest and its gutters, and send them in when you ask for a quote.
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?
Manual moss removal has Pureseal Bac Clear Pro, gutter clearing and a three-year moss-free guarantee in it, and it costs from £599.
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.
