Moss on Hale roofs retains moisture, blocks valleys and accelerates freeze-thaw damage. We remove moss using a dry soft-brush method — no pressure washing — and apply biocide treatment to prevent regrowth for 3–5 years.

Hale Road contains some of the finest surviving Victorian slate and clay tile roofing in Farnham. Many properties retain original Welsh slate in structurally sound condition — it's the nail fixings that have corroded over 120 years, not the slates themselves. Re-nailing rather than full replacement is almost always the right answer here, and preserving original material is both the correct and most cost-effective approach.

Moss removal on a standard 3-bed semi in Hale typically costs £350–£550 including brush removal, biocide application and valley/gutter clear. Larger or more complex properties cost more. Free quotes provided.
3–5 years depending on aspect and tree cover. Hale properties with significant tree canopy or north-facing slopes are at the lower end. We recommend re-treatment every 4–5 years.
Pressure washing damages tile surfaces, blasts spores across the roof, and forces water under tiles. It creates more problems than it solves. We never use it.
