Badshot Lea sits in the flat plain east of Farnham adjacent to the River Wey. Low-lying with high water table — properties near the river experience higher moisture affecting moss growth.
Badshot Lea's proximity to the Wey floodplain creates moisture conditions that accelerate moss growth and gutter blockage. Twice-yearly gutter cleaning recommended for riverside properties.

The combination of river valley humidity and the dense suburban planting on estate roads means annual autumn gutter and valley clearance is not optional here — it's essential maintenance.

If less than 20% of slates are damaged and the rest are sound, repair or re-nailing is almost always better value than full replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment at the survey stage.
Yes in most cases. We source from suppliers carrying Welsh Blue, Welsh Grey and Westmorland Green slates common on Badshot Lea's period housing. For small repairs we find a close match.
Nail sickness is corrosion of original iron nail fixings causing slates to slip. It's common on Badshot Lea's pre-1950 slate properties. Re-nailing extends the roof's life 40–60 years without full replacement.
