Why Liphook roofs need biocide treatment done carefully
Liphook sits under East Hampshire District Council, in a commuter pocket of Hampshire where undefined shows up on almost every roof we survey. Biocide is applied as a soft-wash spray across every pitch, saturating the tile surface so spores are killed at the root. If your property is inside the GU30 area — from streets near Bohunt Manor out to the edges bordering Petersfield — biocide treatment done properly means matching the technique to the tile, not throwing the same recipe at every job.
What we see on Liphook roofs
Many Liphook properties sit under mature oak and pine cover, so plain clay tiles and slates gather leaf debris in valleys and behind chimney stacks long after autumn.
algae returning within months of a manual clean
Common on large detached homes where prevailing weather sits against the pitch.
black streaking rebuilding on shaded pitches
Frequently reported by owners near The Square.
lichen re-establishing on ridge tiles
Especially where mature trees over the commuter area shed onto the roof.
green film across the whole slope after wet winters
Typical of properties served by the A3 where road dust binds with damp.

Liphook biocide treatment FAQs
How often should biocide be reapplied — is that the same in Liphook?
Every three to five years is normal, sooner if your property is under heavy tree cover or close to the coast. In Liphook specifically, the heavy tree canopy across bramshott and griggs green means north-facing pitches barely dry out in winter, so we plan the visit around that.
Will the roof look different straight away — is that the same in Liphook?
No — biocide kills algae and lichen at the root, and the dead growth then weathers off over the following months, gradually revealing clean tile. In Liphook specifically, the heavy tree canopy across bramshott and griggs green means north-facing pitches barely dry out in winter, so we plan the visit around that.
Is biocide safe for pets and plants — is that the same in Liphook?
Yes — the products we use are designed for domestic roof application and are safe once dry, though we cover sensitive planting during the spray itself. In Liphook specifically, the heavy tree canopy across bramshott and griggs green means north-facing pitches barely dry out in winter, so we plan the visit around that.
