What should Bourne End homeowners know?

Riverside roads have Edwardian and interwar villas with plain clay tiles and decorative gables. Chalets, bungalows and post-war houses fill much of the village with concrete tiles, and many have been extended with dormers and flat roofs. The river setting brings damp air and mature trees.

What goes wrong on Bourne End roofs?

River damp. Damp Thames-side air speeds moss growth and rot at eaves and fascias.

Chalet and dormer junctions. Chalets and extended bungalows have many small roofs and junctions that leak.

Flat roofs on extensions. Felt flat roofs reach end of life and leak at edges.

How do we do gutter cleaning?

We clear gutters with a gutter vacuum, working from the ground where possible and to working-at-height rules where not. Because we are roofers, we also photograph the gutters and roof edge and tell you if anything needs attention.

Questions

Gutter cleaning in Bourne End: FAQs

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.
