Gutter cleaning and UPVC cleaning in HavantMoss off the tiles, out of the gutter, across Havant.
Havant is about three miles along the Havant Road from our base in Farlington. From Bedhampton and Leigh Park to Langstone and the town centre, the houses are mixed, and so are the jobs.

The houses in Havant.
A lot of Havant is Leigh Park, the big estate Portsmouth built after the war to rehouse families from the bombed city. It went up from the late 1940s into the 1970s, so it is mostly brick semis and terraces, a good number of maisonettes and flats, and long rows with concrete interlocking roof tiles. Many have since had porches, flat-roofed extensions and conservatories added.
Bedhampton and Denvilles are more of a mix: Victorian and Edwardian houses near the old roads, interwar semis, and estates from the 1960s onwards. Around the town centre and St Faith's church there are much older brick and flint cottages in the conservation area, with cast iron or old half-round gutters that need gentler handling.
Down at Langstone and Warblington the houses sit right on the harbour edge, where salt air and wind off the water are part of everyday life.
What Havant houses usually need.
- 01
Concrete tiles that grow moss
The concrete interlocking tiles on so many Leigh Park and Havant roofs hold moss very well. Every winter the clumps loosen and drop into the gutter, and a run can fill up completely, like the one in the photos on this page.
- 02
Flat roofs over porches and extensions
Flat-roofed porches and kitchen extensions often take the water from the main gutter above. When the gutter overflows, the flat roof holds the water. Clearing the main run from the ground with a gutter vacuum solves the problem at the source.
- 03
Trees from the country parks
Houses backing onto Staunton Country Park, the woods around Leigh Park and the big gardens in Bedhampton get leaves and twigs all autumn. Downpipes and hoppers block as often as the gutters do.
- 04
Old gutters in the conservation area
Older cast iron and half-round gutters around the town centre are cleared by vacuum rather than scraped, and we tell you if we spot a cracked joint or a loose bracket while we are up there.

Salt film by the harbour
In Langstone and Warblington the wind off the harbour leaves a salt haze on windows and conservatory roofs. Pure water rinses it off without leaving streaks.
Paintwork in Havant.
Brick semis and terraces in Leigh Park and Bedhampton often have a rendered or painted band across the front, painted porches and timber canopies over the door. Those are the bits that fade and flake first.
We repaint render bands, porch canopies, front doors, gates and garden walls, and do the inside work too: hallways, landings, kitchens and bedrooms. For landlords with houses or flats in Havant, decorating between tenants is a straightforward job to price after one visit.
From Farlington to Havant.
Havant is a short run along the Havant Road or the A27 from Farlington, so getting to Leigh Park, Bedhampton, Denvilles or Langstone is easy. Emsworth, a little further east, is regular ground too.
Window cleaning starts from £15 and gutter, fascia, soffit, cladding and conservatory roof cleaning from £30. Painting and decorating, inside and out, is priced after a visit. See the colour card for more jobs and the full price list.
Asked in Havant.
Do you cover Leigh Park?
Yes. Leigh Park, Bedhampton, Denvilles, Warblington, Langstone and Havant town centre are all covered from our base in Farlington.
My gutters are full of moss from the roof. Do you clean the roof too?
We clear the moss out of the gutters and downpipes. If the roof itself is heavily mossed, say so when you call and we can talk about what makes sense for your tiles.
How often should gutters be cleared on a concrete-tiled roof?
With concrete tiles that shed moss, twice a year is a sensible minimum, in spring and again in autumn. Houses under trees may need it more often.
Can you clean a conservatory roof in Havant?
Yes. Conservatory roof cleaning starts from £30, depending on size and how green it is.
