Horsham stone in Southwater would be checked before anything else by Dave, in the roof cleaning trade since 2004, and his two sons.
What should you tell us about your roof in Southwater?
Southwater grew from a farming community along Worthing Road. When you send pictures of your home, include the roof and the route from the road to the building. Tell us about later extensions or replacement coverings, so the quote can identify the sections to clean and any access equipment needed.

Why are Southwater's Horsham stone roofs checked before cleaning?
Horsham stone roofs in Southwater are looked at before any method is offered, because Moss Men Surrey scrape concrete tiles, clay tiles and natural slate by hand and steam only natural slate and modern clay tiles, so stone needs a closer look first. Several of the village's older buildings have Horsham stone roofs. Far more common are clay tiles, many made locally, which take the manual scrape, while slate is rare. Roofs here are generally pitched, plain, gabled or hipped.
If your roof is Horsham stone, say so when you ask for a quote and send a photograph of the slabs.

Do the tree belts between Southwater's estates affect moss on roofs?
Yes, where a belt stands close to a house: trees near a roof can keep it shady and damp, and moss tends to flourish in those conditions. Southwater's large modern estates are divided by strong woodland tree belts, and retained hedgerows, ghylls and shaws keep the village wooded. Small ancient woods such as Courtlands Wood, Blunts Copse and Sparrow Copse survive in the parish, and woodland grows in the Country Park at Lennox Wood.
If a tree belt runs behind your garden, photograph the slope facing it and the gutter below, and send both 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?
In Southwater, manual moss removal from £599 brings gutter clearing and Pureseal Bac Clear Pro along with 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.

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.

David and his team did a fantastic job on my moss and algae covered roof. It is now spotless and has rejuvenated the look of the place. The team worked incredibly hard for 3 days in the hot weather, and really went the extra mile when cleaning up to leave the property sparkling. Very happy indeed with the service.
