What should you tell us about your roof in Thames Ditton?
Thames Ditton and Giggs Hill Green each have a conservation area. If your home is in either, tell us about any property-specific requirements you know about. Show us tight approaches and planting below the eaves so we can plan gutter access and protection as part of your cleaning quote.

Is slate cleaned differently from handmade tile in Thames Ditton?
Partly: in Thames Ditton both natural slate and handmade clay tiles can be cleaned by hand, but only the slate can also take roof pressure washing. On the High Street, steep handmade clay tile roofs and shallow natural slate often stand side by side, and natural slate is the main roof material around Giggs Hill Green. Church Walk shows both: Victorian cottages under natural slate, then Edwardian houses with machine-made red clay tiles. Ashley Road's Edwardian villas keep clay tile roofs, many with decorative terracotta ridge tiles and finials.
If your roof has decorative ridge tiles or finials, include them in the photographs you send for a quote.

Why do Thames Ditton's yews and conifers matter for roof moss?
They matter because yews, conifers and other trees close to a Thames Ditton house can keep its roof shady and damp, and moss tends to flourish in those conditions. Around Giggs Hill Green, landmark trees include a Douglas fir and a Wellingtonia beside houses there, and Portsmouth Road is tree-lined for the length of the green. St Nicholas' churchyard is dominated by yews. In the lower-density roads, houses stand in large plots with broadleaf and ornamental trees front and back.
If a tree stands over your roof, photograph that slope and the gutter beneath it before you ask for a quote.
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?
Thames Ditton roofs cleaned by hand cost from £599, a price that includes Pureseal Bac Clear Pro and gutter clearing, plus the 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.

We used Moss Men to clean our roof and gutters and are delighted with the results! Dave was very professional and really knows his stuff!
He helped ensure that our old, shabby tiles were protected whilst doing a fab job removing all the moss.
He was so careful during the process and left the roof looking 10x better. Would definitely recommend!Read Elle Wood-Evans's review on Google
