What kind of roofs are in Harefield?
The green and High Street hold brick cottages and older buildings under clay peg and plain tiles, some listed. Victorian and Edwardian houses line the roads into the village, with 1930s semis and post-war estates around them using plain and concrete tiles. Detached homes on the edge of the village are often more exposed.

What we see in Harefield
What typically goes wrong with Harefield roofs?
Exposure on open ground
Homes on the edge of the village and facing the Colne Valley catch wind that lifts tiles and verges.
Damp from the lakes
Damp valley air speeds moss and rots fascias and eaves.
Old cottage roofs
Peg tile cottages slip as pegs decay, and chimneys lose their lead.

Roof cleaning and moss removal in Harefield
The damp Colne Valley means moss grows quickly. Soft wash and biocide slow regrowth without damaging tiles.
Gutter cleaning in Harefield
Trees and damp keep gutters wet and blocked, rotting fascias if not cleared each year.

Local questions
Harefield roofing questions
Do you cover Harefield even though it is so rural?
Yes. Harefield is part of our regular area along with Ickenham and Northwood.
My verge tiles keep coming loose. What can be done?
On exposed roofs, a dry verge system or re-bedding with fixings stops them lifting.
Can you repair the roof on a listed cottage?
Yes, with matched materials, and we check with Hillingdon first if needed.
