What we see in Great Missenden
What typically goes wrong with Great Missenden roofs?
Damp valley air
The Misbourne valley holds damp, so moss and lichen grow fast and timber at the eaves rots.
Old peg tile roofs
Peg tiles on the High Street slip as pegs and nails decay, and handmade tiles need matched reclaimed replacements.
Chimney leadwork
Older stacks have worn lead flashings and cracked flaunching, a common cause of damp chimney breasts.

Roof repairs in Great Missenden
In Great Missenden we repair peg tile roofs with matched reclaimed tiles, renew chimney leadwork, and fix slipped tiles and ridges on the larger hillside homes.
Roof cleaning and moss removal in Great Missenden
Damp valley air and woodland shade make moss a constant problem. Hand removal, soft wash and biocide slow regrowth without harming old clay tiles.
Gutter cleaning in Great Missenden
Woodland leaf fall fills gutters every autumn, and low cottage gutters on the High Street overflow quickly when blocked.

Local questions
Great Missenden roofing questions
Can you match the old tiles on my High Street cottage?
Yes. We source reclaimed handmade clay tiles to match colour and size so the repair blends in.
Why is moss so bad on my roof?
The valley stays damp and shaded. Biocide after cleaning slows regrowth for years.
Do you cover Prestwood and Little Kingshill?
Yes, along with the rest of the Missenden area.
