Damp air, tree cover and slow-drying slopes make moss growth heavier here than in most places we cover. The town grew substantially through the second half of the twentieth century, so alongside older property there is a large stock of concrete-tiled estate housing now at the age where underlay and ridge mortar are due attention. It is a short run from Newbury, so it fits naturally into our working week rather than being an occasional trip. We work throughout Thatcham and the surrounding area, including Colthrop, Henwick, Cold Ash, Crookham, Midgham. Normal working hours are 8am–5pm and we respond outside them wherever we can; for emergency call-outs we aim to be with you within 3 hours, depending on your location and our availability. ### Property types we work on in Thatcham - 1960s–80s estate housing with concrete interlocking tiles on original bitumen felt - Older village property near the centre with clay and plain tiles - Bungalows with low-pitched, heavily shaded roofs that hold moss - Newer developments where roof window and flashing details are the usual fault ## Free quote in Thatcham Tell us what's happening and we'll come and look: no charge, no obligation. ## What Thatcham calls us for most ### Roof cleaning and moss removal in Thatcham Moss cleared, tiles checked The most requested job in Thatcham: valley damp and shade mean moss builds up faster here than in drier, more open parts of our area.

More detail ### Free roof inspections in Thatcham Photographic reports where required A proper look at the roof at no charge, with photographs where required, so you can see the condition for yourself. More detail ## Roof problems we see again and again in Thatcham ### Low-lying, damp and slow to dry Roofs that never fully dry out are roofs that stay green. Moss holds moisture against the tile surface, which then freezes, expands and breaks the face down, ageing the covering far faster than sun and wind ever would. Low-pitched bungalow roofs are worst affected, because water drains slowly and debris stays put instead of washing off. ### Gutters that fill from above Moss clumps break off and land in the gutters. Blocked gutters overflow down the wall, and damp appearing on an inside wall gets blamed on the roof covering when the real cause is an outlet full of debris from the tiles. We leave gutters clear of what comes off the roof and take all the waste away rather than leaving it in a heap for you to deal with. ### Estate-era underlay Original felt on Thatcham's expansion-era housing is now decades old. It hardens, tears at the nail lines and sags between rafters, and once it has gone the tiles alone are not a waterproof roof. Re-felting and re-battening with the existing tiles re-laid is usually the right-sized answer, and it costs considerably less than a full replacement. ## Why Thatcham homeowners call us We are owner-operated, so the person who quotes your roof is the person responsible for it.
