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.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
We begin by carefully removing the bulk of moss and lichen by hand from a safe working position, without setting foot on your tiles.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
