What kind of roofs are in Marlow?
The High Street, West Street and St Peter Street hold Georgian and older buildings with clay tiles and slate, plenty of them listed. Victorian and Edwardian villas around the centre use Welsh slate and plain clay tiles. Large interwar and modern detached homes fill the hillsides towards Marlow Bottom and the riverside roads.

What we see in Marlow
What typically goes wrong with Marlow roofs?
Damp river air
The Thames keeps the air damp, speeding moss growth and rot at fascias and eaves.
Hidden parapet gutters
Georgian buildings often hide lead or felt gutters behind parapets that block and leak into the top floor.
Nail sickness on Victorian slate
Slate villas around the centre are at the age where iron nails fail and slates slip in patterns.

Roof repairs in Marlow
Marlow repairs include parapet and valley gutters on Georgian buildings, slipped slates on Victorian villas, chimney leadwork and flat roofs on extensions near the river.
Roof cleaning and moss removal in Marlow
River damp means moss returns quickly here. We remove it by hand, soft wash and apply biocide, never pressure washing slate or clay.
Gutter cleaning in Marlow
Riverside trees and damp air keep gutters wet and blocked, rotting fascias if left. Parapet gutters need checking at the same time.

Local questions
Marlow roofing questions
Can you repair the parapet gutter on my Georgian house?
Yes. We clear and inspect it, and renew the lead or lining where it has failed.
Is moss worse near the river?
Often, yes. Damp air helps it grow. Biocide after cleaning slows it down.
Do you cover Marlow Bottom?
Yes, and the villages around Marlow.
