Why so many Horndean roofs turn green
Horndean sits at the foot of the South Downs, with Queen Elizabeth Country Park to the north and plenty of woodland and mature gardens around the village. Shade, damp air and falling leaves are ideal conditions for moss, so it is common to see thick cushions of it on the north-facing slopes of the bungalows and family homes that line Horndean’s quieter roads, and on homes in Catherington and Lovedean that back onto trees and open fields.
Moss is more than a cosmetic problem. It soaks up rain and holds it against the tiles, which can lead to frost damage in winter. As it grows it can lift tiles out of line, and when it dies back it washes into the gutters, blocking outlets and downpipes so that water spills over and stains walls and render below.
How we clean roofs in Horndean
- Check the roof first. We look at the condition of your roof before we start, and our 4K aerial roof inspection lets you see it close up without anyone climbing a ladder.
- Moss removed by hand and low pressure. We never blast tiles with aggressive high pressure, which can damage their surface and force water where it should not go.
- Biocide treatment. A professional biocide kills the remaining moss, algae and lichen spores so the roof stays cleaner for longer.
- Gutters cleared. Our industrial gutter vacuum and camera system clears the debris that comes off the roof, and you get before and after images.
- 2-year no-moss guarantee. Our roof cleaning comes with a 2-year no-moss guarantee for peace of mind.
Our operatives are IPAF and PASMA trained to work safely at height, and we choose the access equipment and method to suit your home, whether it is a single-storey bungalow or a three-storey townhouse.

Roof cleaning Horndean FAQs
Do you cover Horndean, Lovedean and Catherington?
Yes. We are based in Waterlooville and regularly work in Horndean, Lovedean, Catherington, Clanfield, Cowplain, Denmead and Rowlands Castle, as well as further afield across Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey.
How often should my roof be cleaned?
It depends on how shaded your roof is and how many trees are nearby. Our guide on how often you should clean your roof explains what to look for.
Is roof cleaning safe for my tiles?
Yes, when it is done properly. We remove moss by hand and with low pressure only, then apply a biocide, rather than using high-pressure jet washing that can wear away the surface of the tiles.
Will the moss come back?
The biocide treatment keeps regrowth at bay, and our roof cleaning comes with a 2-year no-moss guarantee.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes, payment plans are available. Ask about them when you request your free quote.
