What should Harefield homeowners know?

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 goes wrong on 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.

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 Harefield: FAQs

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.
