Get in touch with Moss Men

It means we clean your roof without pressure washing and without running water across the covering. Moss and lichen are lifted from the tile surface and the tile joints using specialist hand tools, then a treatment is applied to slow regrowth. Nothing is forced under the laps, your loft stays dry and your gutters are not filled with hundreds of litres of dirty water.

Because of what it costs you later. High pressure strips the sealed face off concrete tiles, which is the layer that slows moss down in the first place, so the roof greens over faster than it did before. It also forces water under the laps and into the roof space, cracks brittle or slipped tiles, and fills gutters and downpipes with everything it blasts off. We are not against pressure washing as a tool, there are surfaces where it is the right choice, but a roof covering is very rarely one of them.

Yes, and it lasts longer. The growth is lifted off the tile rather than blasted off, and because we treat the surface afterwards the spores left behind are dealt with too. Cleaning without treating simply resets the clock. The results are guaranteed and we walk the finished job with you before we leave.

Yes, with the same guaranteed results and far less risk. Pressure washing strips the protective surface off concrete tiles and drives water into places it should never reach. Working dry gets the growth off, keeps the tile intact and lets the treatment do the long term work.

Price depends on the size of the roof, the pitch, the covering and how much growth there is. Every quotation is free, fixed and given in writing before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the day. Send us a photo or your postcode and we will come back to you quickly.

Yes. Moss Men carry ten million pounds of public liability insurance, and we are happy to send the certificate over before we start.

We work across Surrey, South West London, parts of Kent and West Sussex, roughly within 15 miles of the KT postcodes. That includes Worcester Park, Kingston, Esher, Cobham, Leatherhead, Wimbledon, Guildford, Croydon, Bromley, Twickenham and the surrounding towns and villages.

With treatment applied, most roofs stay visibly clear for several years. Properties under heavy tree cover, in shaded spots or close to the river green up sooner, which is why we are honest about what to expect for your specific roof rather than quoting a blanket number.

Always. Fallen moss is cleared from the roof, the gutters, the paths and the borders, then bagged and taken away. Our customers mention the tidy up as often as they mention the roof.

Most quotations are turned round within a day or two, and work is usually scheduled within a couple of weeks depending on the season and the weather. Call 07551 442228 and we will give you a realistic date, not an optimistic one.
