Which of Selsey's old roofs can be cleaned by hand?
Selsey's handmade clay peg tile and natural slate roofs can both be cleaned by hand, while its thatched roofs are looked at before any method is offered. The old High Street cottages carry all three coverings: thatch, peg tiles made locally on steep pitches above 40 degrees, and grey slate on the shallower ones. Natural slate can also take roof pressure washing, the hot, low-pressure steam method, but peg tiles stay with the manual scrape.
When you ask for a quote, say whether your roof is thatch, peg tile, slate or a newer covering, and send a photograph of the front slope.

Why might some Selsey roof slopes hold moss and lichen longer?
Moss and lichen can hold on longest where a slope stays damp: north-facing slopes that dry slowly may attract them, and low pitches shed rainwater more slowly than steep ones. Spores blown onto a roof take root in the dirt its rough surface filters out of the rain. In Selsey's old High Street, grey slate sits on the shallower pitches and peg tiles on pitches above 40 degrees, so the slate slopes are the slower to shed rain.
Include the north-facing slope and any low-pitched slate in the photographs you send 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?
For a Selsey roof cleaned by hand, manual moss removal is priced from £599, taking in gutter clearing, Pureseal Bac Clear Pro and our 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.
