Moss on Shortheath roofs retains moisture, blocks valleys and accelerates freeze-thaw damage. We remove moss using a dry soft-brush method — no pressure washing — and apply biocide treatment to prevent regrowth for 3–5 years.

Properties backing onto Farnham Park in Shortheath face above-average leaf fall volume every autumn from the park's mature deciduous boundary planting. For these properties, annual autumn gutter clearance is critical — a single blocked winter season consistently causes more damage than years of normal weathering. We see more gutter overflow and fascia saturation damage on park-adjacent Shortheath properties than anywhere else in the neighbourhood.
