A grey tiled roof streaked white. What does cleaning a plain tile roof by Southwick Green involve?
Cleaning a plain tile roof by Southwick Green involves scraping the moss off by hand, then spraying biocide on at about garden-hose pressure. Plain tiles are the usual roof covering there, with a slate roof noted among them. A 15th-century cottage on Southwick Street has slate and clay peg tiles, and natural slate can also take roof pressure washing. A 17th-century flint cottage on Kingston Lane has the only thatch in the conservation area, and thatch is looked at first.
When you ask for a quote, say whether your tiles are plain, peg or slate.

What do Southwick's sycamores and holm oaks mean for moss on a roof?
Sycamores, holm oaks and other mature trees near a Southwick house can keep its roof shady and damp, where moss tends to flourish, and leaves that fall onto the tiles lodge there. Many parts of the conservation area have mature trees. In two gardens there, they include sycamore, holm oak, holly, mulberry and horse chestnut, 17 of them under a tree preservation order.
If a large tree overhangs your roof, photograph that slope and its gutter 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?
In Southwick, manual moss removal from £599 means clearing your gutters and treating the roof with Pureseal Bac Clear Pro, then 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.
