Why Liss roofs need moss removal done carefully
Liss sits under East Hampshire District Council, in a rural pocket of Hampshire where moss chunks falling into gutters and blocking downpipes shows up on almost every roof we survey.

Our process in Liss
- 1
Heavy moss is hand-scraped off tile by tile, working across the pitch so nothing dislodges into valleys or gutters.
- 2
Moss bedded into ridge mortar is loosened with careful hand tools rather than pressure, protecting the pointing underneath.
- 3
Every scraped area is checked for cracked or slipped tiles that were hidden under the moss.
- 4
We finish with a biocide pass so the spores left in the surface don't re-establish over the next winter.

Especially where mature trees over the rural area shed onto the roof.

Liss moss removal FAQs
Can't I just leave the moss — is that the same in Liss?
Left alone, moss holds water against the tiles, blocks valleys and gutters, and eventually lifts ridge and hip tiles from underneath — repair costs then dwarf a cleaning bill. In Liss specifically, being close to the wet clay of the rother valley, gutters here silt up faster than average, so we plan the visit around that.
Do you clear the gutters as part of the job — is that the same in Liss?
Yes — moss scraped from a roof has to go somewhere, so we always clear the gutters as part of the same visit and take the debris away. In Liss specifically, being close to the wet clay of the rother valley, gutters here silt up faster than average, so we plan the visit around that.
Do you use a pressure washer to remove moss — is that the same in Liss?
No — we hand-scrape heavy moss and only use gentle chemical treatment afterwards, because pressure washing on old concrete or clay tiles strips the surface. In Liss specifically, being close to the wet clay of the rother valley, gutters here silt up faster than average, so we plan the visit around that.
