Do you remove moss as part of a repair?

Where moss is causing the problem — blocking valleys or gutters, or lifting tiles — we clear it from the affected areas. We avoid aggressive pressure washing, which can damage older tiles.

My Wimborne house is in the conservation area — does that change anything?

Mainly the materials. We'll match the existing tiles or slates as closely as possible and let you know if anything needs checking with the council.

How quickly can you repair storm damage?

It depends on demand after a storm. We'll always aim to make a leaking roof safe first and come back for the permanent repair when materials and weather allow.

Can you repair a roof without scaffolding?

Small repairs can often be done with ladders or roof ladders. Larger jobs, high roofs or work near the edge need scaffolding for safety, and we'll include that in the quote.

Do you look at the gutters too?

Yes. Overflowing or leaking gutters often get mistaken for roof leaks, so we check the whole route the water takes.

Roofs around Wimborne

Wimborne sits where the Stour and the Allen meet, and the damp, sheltered spots near the rivers and the many mature trees mean moss and blocked valleys are a common cause of leaks here. In the historic centre, many properties sit in the conservation area, so like-for-like materials matter.

Out in Colehill, Merley, Corfe Mullen and Pamphill, the typical jobs are concrete-tiled roofs with tired mortar ridges and verges, flashing on extensions and the odd flat roof that has had its day.
