What should Great Missenden homeowners know?
The High Street has timber-framed and Georgian brick buildings under old clay peg tiles, with some listed coaching inns. Victorian and Edwardian houses sit near the station, and the slopes towards Prestwood and Little Kingshill hold large interwar and post-war detached houses with plain or concrete tiles.
What goes wrong on 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.
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 Great Missenden: FAQs
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.
