Roof cleaning in Steyning
Moss Men Surrey offers roof cleaning in Steyning, with a written quote within 24 hours and a method suited to your roof.
Before any method is chosen on a Steyning roof, Dave and his two sons would look it over, drawing on Dave's roof cleaning since 2004.
What should you tell us about your roof in Steyning?
If your home is in Steyning's conservation area, tell us which older roof details you want to preserve and any requirements you know about. Send photographs of the covering and growth. We can discuss moss removal and explain the likely appearance of the tiles after cleaning.
A band of moss on the lower courses. Which Steyning roofs need checking before any cleaning method?
Steyning's Horsham stone roofs, on 32 buildings, 25 of them from before 1800, get a closer look before Moss Men Surrey suggest a cleaning method, since their two methods are set up for tiles and natural slate. Clay tiles are used for roofs and, in 18 places, hung on walls, and clay tiles take the manual scrape. Modern clay tiles and natural slate can also take roof pressure washing, with hot water at low pressure sprayed downwards.
If your roof is Horsham stone, or you are not sure, say so when you ask for a quote and send a photograph of it.

Which woods near Steyning could keep a roof shady enough for moss?
Woods close to a Steyning house, such as Wyckham Wood west of the river, could keep its roof shady and damp, the conditions in which moss tends to flourish. Wyckham Wood is a small ancient wood of mature ash and oak 300 metres west of the River Adur, and Wiston Pond is ringed on three sides by alder, willow and hazel. A north-facing slope near those trees may stay damp for longer, and moss may follow.
If trees stand between your house and the sun, photograph the slope they shade and attach it to 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?
Manual moss removal on a Steyning roof starts from £599 and takes in gutter clearing plus Pureseal Bac Clear Pro, 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.
