Roof Maintenance in Eton, Windsor and Maidenhead

If you've noticed green clumps of moss appearing on your roof, you aren't alone. With the humidity we get around the Thames Valley, moss thrives here. While it might look a bit rustic, it's actually acting like a sponge, soaking up rainwater and holding it against your tiles. When that water freezes in winter, it expands, causing tiles to crack or "spall." Our moss removal service doesn't just clear the mess; we use specialist biocidal treatments to inhibit future growth. It’s a simple way to protect your slates and tiles while keeping your property looking its best.

Have you checked your gutters lately? It’s one of those jobs everyone puts off until the water starts cascading down the walls. In areas like Eton and Windsor, where we have plenty of beautiful mature trees, gutters and valleys get clogged with leaves and debris remarkably fast. When a valley—the internal angle where two roof sections meet—gets blocked, water has nowhere to go but inside your home. We'll clear the blockages and check your fascias and soffits to make sure everything is draining exactly as it should, keeping your walls bone dry.

Most leaks don't actually start in the middle of the roof; they start at the joints. We pay special attention to the lead flashings and abutments, which is where the roof meets a wall or chimney. These are the most vulnerable spots on any property. Over time, the mortar pointing and bedding that holds your ridge tiles in place can crumble and let moisture in. We'll check the verge and ensure your breathable underlay is doing its job by keeping condensation out of your loft space. It's this level of detail that keeps our customers' homes secure.

Chimneys in the Windsor and Maidenhead area take a real beating from the wind and rain. If you’ve spotted bits of mortar on your lawn or driveway, it’s a sure sign the pointing on your chimney stack is starting to fail. We’re experts at chimney repairs in Eton, from repointing the brickwork to fitting new cowls that keep the birds out and stop rain from coming down the flue. It’s far easier and much cheaper to fix a few loose bricks now than to deal with a crumbling stack during a winter gale.
