What we see on Havant roofs
Havant's proximity to Langstone Harbour means the majority of concrete-tile roofs suffer heavily from salt-fed lichen and streaking on south-west elevations.
black algae streaking on north pitches
Common on 1930s semis where prevailing weather sits against the pitch.
green algae film across whole slopes
Frequently reported by owners near Havant town centre.
lichen crusts on ridge and hip tiles
Especially where mature trees over the coastal area shed onto the roof.
moss build-up around chimneys and valleys
Typical of properties served by the A27 where road dust binds with damp.

With a follow-up biocide treatment you can typically expect a clean roof appearance for around three to five years, depending on shade, tree cover and exposure. In Havant specifically, onshore winds off langstone and chichester harbours drive salt deep into roof surfaces year-round, so we plan the visit around that.
Do I need to be at home while you clean — is that the same in Havant?
No — as long as we have safe access to the property and any locked side gates, you don't need to be in during the work. In Havant specifically, onshore winds off langstone and chichester harbours drive salt deep into roof surfaces year-round, so we plan the visit around that.
