Lead is ubiquitous on The Bourne's older housing stock at chimneys, valleys, bay tops and dormers. We repair and replace lead flat roofs, flashings and valleys across The Bourne using Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead sheet.
The Bourne's 1920s–1960s housing stock means lead work is a regular requirement. Very high moss growth rate due to tree canopy and valley shade. Valley and gutter blockages every autumn. Concrete tile erosion on post-war properties. Flat roof garage additions needing replacement. Thermal cycling on The Bourne properties means expansion provision is critical — we always specify correct sheet dimensions and bay widths.
Mix of 1920s–30s detached properties and post-war semis in a wooded setting south of Farnham. Clay tile dominant on older stock, concrete on post-war. Heavy tree canopy throughout.
Very high moss growth rate due to tree canopy and valley shade. Valley and gutter blockages every autumn. Concrete tile erosion on post-war properties. Flat roof garage additions needing replacement.
The Bourne runs along a wooded valley south of Farnham. Heavy tree canopy creates significant leaf fall and persistent shade on north-facing slopes — highest moss growth rate of any Farnham neighbourhood.
The Bourne has the highest moss growth rate of any Farnham neighbourhood due to valley humidity and heavy deciduous tree canopy. Annual gutter and valley clearance is essential — twice yearly for heavily canopied plots.
We cover The Bourne (GU10) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

The Bourne's wooded valley setting creates the highest moss growth rate of any Farnham neighbourhood. The combination of valley humidity, north-facing slopes, and heavy deciduous canopy means roofs here can become significantly colonised within 3–4 years of the last treatment. For The Bourne properties, annual autumn gutter clearance and 4-yearly moss treatment is our minimum maintenance recommendation.

Properly installed lead sheet typically lasts 60–100+ years. The most common cause of premature failure on The Bourne properties is incorrect installation — sheets fixed without room for thermal expansion.
Often yes. Small splits, lifting edges and failed joints can frequently be repaired. We assess whether repair or replacement is better long-term value and give you an honest recommendation.
Code 4 is the minimum for most flashings and valley work. Code 5 for flat roofs and larger spans. We always specify the appropriate code in our written quote.
