Which method suits Walton-on-Thames's steep clay tile roofs?
The manual scrape suits the steeply pitched clay tile roofs of central Walton-on-Thames, and roof pressure washing comes in only where the clay tiles are modern or the covering is natural slate. Around Church Street, most roofs are steep clay tile, with some natural slate on later, lower-pitched buildings. The riverside cottages of Old Walton have fairly steep clay tile roofs with red brick chimneys. In Ashley Park, some older houses add catslide roofs, long slopes that run down towards the ground floor.
Tell us if your roof has a catslide or a chimney, and send a photograph of each slope when you ask for a quote.

Can Walton-on-Thames's broadleaf trees encourage roof moss?
Yes, a broadleaf tree close to a Walton-on-Thames house can encourage moss by keeping its roof shady and damp, the conditions in which moss tends to flourish, and its fallen leaves lodge on the tiles too. Mature broadleaf trees cover large parts of the town, especially on front boundaries. In Ashley Park most houses are at least partly hidden by trees, and in Old Walton mature trees by the riverside and in rear gardens line Manor Road.
Photograph the slope nearest your largest tree and the gutter below it, and send both with your enquiry.
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 for a Walton-on-Thames roof, from £599, would end with Pureseal Bac Clear Pro after gutter clearing and carry 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.

We had a great experience with this company. They kindly rearranged their schedule at short notice to fit us in while the utility company had the road outside our house closed — which was essential as our roof can only safely be cleaned when the road is shut due to how close the house is to it. That flexibility was hugely appreciated.
They did a very thorough job and used a low-pressure air cleaning method rather than jet washing, which we understand can damage roof tiles. After the cleaning they also applied a biocide treatment, and the work comes with a 3-year guarantee.
The roof already looks much better and we’re looking forward to enjoying a moss-free roof for the next few years. Professional, knowledgeable and very accommodating — highly recommended.Read Giles Forrest's review on Google -
