What should you tell us about your roof in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Old Shoreham and Kingston Buci each have a conservation area. If your home is around either, tell us about any requirements affecting your roof. Photographs of the covering and repaired sections help us judge whether manual removal or roof pressure washing suits the work you want done.

Can Shoreham-by-Sea's concrete tile roofs be steam cleaned?
No, concrete tiles in Shoreham-by-Sea are cleaned by hand with a manual scrape, because Moss Men Surrey use roof pressure washing only on natural slate and modern clay tiles. Interlocking concrete tiles are now the most typical covering across the historic town centre, and slate became common near the railway, brought in by train from Wales. In Old Shoreham, roofs are most often tile and thatch, with some slate and Horsham slab, and thatch or stone is looked at before any method is offered.
Name your covering when you ask for a quote, and send a close photograph of a few tiles.

How does moss take hold on a roof in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Moss takes hold on a Shoreham-by-Sea roof when spores blown onto the tiles root in the dirt their rough surface filters out of rainwater. Some concrete tiles, with a sanded or granule face, are the first to attract it, and interlocking concrete tiles are now the most typical covering across the historic town centre. A north-facing slope that stays damp may attract more moss, and a low-pitched roof sheds rain more slowly than a steep one.
Photograph the north-facing slope and a close view of the tile surface, 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 Shoreham-by-Sea roof can have its moss scraped off by hand at a cost from £599, its gutters cleared, Pureseal Bac Clear Pro put on and 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.
