Local questions
Bourne End roofing questions
Is moss worse in Bourne End?
Often, yes, because of the damp river setting. Biocide treatment after cleaning slows regrowth.
My fascias are rotting. Can you replace them?
Yes. We replace rotten fascias rather than capping over them, and check the eaves felt behind.
Do you work in Wooburn Green?
Yes, and we take its conservation-area status into account.
