What should Chorleywood homeowners know?
Cottages around Chorleywood Common are older and roofed in clay tile. The arrival of the Metropolitan line brought Edwardian and interwar houses across the Chorleywood station area, many in an Arts and Crafts manner: steep plain-tile roofs, long catslides, roughcast walls and big chimneys. Later infill and replacement houses mix in modern clay and concrete tiles.
What goes wrong on Chorleywood roofs?
Catslides and long valleys. Long catslide roofs carry a lot of water to one point at the eaves, where tiles and felt wear first.
Tall chimneys and flaunching. Arts and Crafts stacks are tall and exposed, so flaunching and leadwork take a beating.
Moss near the Common. Shaded roofs by the Common and woodland grow moss that lifts tiles and blocks valleys.
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.
