Professional Roof Cleaning Across Hampshire
Is moss creeping across your roof tiles? You are not alone. Hampshire's mild, damp climate makes it one of the worst counties in England for moss, lichen and algae build-up on roofs. Left untreated, it can lead to cracked tiles, blocked gutters and expensive damp problems inside your home.
At New Forest Roof Cleaning, we provide professional, fully insured roof cleaning across Hampshire using safe, environmentally friendly methods that protect your roof, not damage it.

Why Hampshire Homes Need Regular Roof Cleaning
Hampshire's climate is ideal for moss and lichen growth. The county's proximity to the coast, its woodland areas and its consistently wet winters create the perfect conditions for greenery to take hold on roof tiles, often without homeowners noticing until the damage is already done.
Here is what happens when moss is left to spread:
Moss Holds Moisture Against Your Tiles
Roof moss acts like a sponge. It traps rainwater directly against your tiles, causing them to absorb moisture they were never designed to hold. Over time this leads to cracking, lifting and in severe cases, tile failure. In Hampshire winters, frozen moisture inside tiles can accelerate this process significantly.
Blocked Gutters and Water Damage
As moss grows it naturally sheds debris into your gutters. Combined with leaves and general build-up, this causes blockages that force water to overflow down your walls. This is one of the leading causes of damp in Hampshire homes.
Reduced Kerb Appeal and Property Value
A moss-covered roof looks neglected. Whether you are planning to sell or simply want to take pride in your home, a clean roof makes an immediate and striking difference to how your property looks from the street.
Our Roof Cleaning Method — Safe, Soft Wash, No Roof Walking
his is where we are different from many other roof cleaning companies in Hampshire.
We never walk on your roof.
Walking on roof tiles, especially older or clay tiles common across Hampshire properties, causes micro-fractures, dislodges pointing and can void your home insurance. Many companies do it anyway. We never do.
Gentle Scraping
We begin by carefully removing the bulk of moss and lichen by hand from a safe working position, without setting foot on your tiles.
Environmentally Friendly Soft Wash Treatment
We then apply our professional soft wash solution. This is a low-pressure, biodegradable treatment that penetrates deep into moss and lichen at the root level, killing it completely and preventing rapid re-growth. It is safe for your tiles, your garden and the environment.
Low-Pressure Steam Cleaning
Where needed, we use low-pressure steam to lift remaining debris and leave your roof looking clean, fresh and well-maintained. This is not the aggressive high-pressure washing that damages tiles and strips protective coatings. It is a controlled, professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Hampshire?
Every property is different, so we always provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins. Pricing depends on the size of your roof, the level of moss build-up and the access required. New customers also receive £100 off their first clean. Call Thomas on 07700 144122 to arrange your free quote.
Do you work across all of Hampshire or just the New Forest?
We are based in Sway in the heart of the New Forest, but we cover the whole of Hampshire including Ringwood, Totton, New Milton, Southampton, Lymington, Fordingbridge, Hythe, Marchwood, Netley and many more areas. If you are unsure whether we cover your location, just give us a call.
Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?
Not with our method. We use a gentle soft wash approach and we never walk on your roof. High-pressure washing and foot traffic on tiles are the two most common causes of roof damage during cleaning. We avoid both completely, using eco-friendly solutions and low-pressure steam instead.
How long does a roof clean take in Hampshire?
Most standard residential roof cleans take between half a day and a full day depending on the size of the property and the level of moss build-up. We will give you a clear time estimate when we provide your free quote.
How often should Hampshire homeowners have their roof cleaned?
We recommend a professional roof clean every 3 to 5 years for most Hampshire properties. Homes near woodland, in shaded spots or close to the coast may need more frequent cleaning due to the increased moisture and organic debris in those environments.
