Natural Welsh and Westmorland slate is common on Rowledge's older housing stock and can last 100 years or more with correct maintenance. We repair, re-nail and re-slate period properties across Rowledge, sourcing matching natural slate where required.
Rowledge's Victorian and 1930s housing includes natural slate roofing on The Square and surrounding streets where Victorian and Edwardian properties are concentrated. These roofs often have decades of life remaining with targeted repairs.
Village character with Victorian and Edwardian cottages in the centre, 1930s semis on the outskirts. Natural slate and clay tile dominant on older properties.
Wind-driven rain penetration on west-facing clay tile roofs. Nail sickness on Victorian slate. Lead flashing failure at dormers. Ridge mortar failure from wind exposure on elevated plots.
Rowledge sits on elevated ground south of Farnham on the Surrey-Hampshire border. Exposed to south-westerly weather — wind-driven rain is a persistent challenge on west-facing elevations.
Rowledge's elevated position means ridge and hip mortar fails faster than in sheltered valley properties. We see more wind uplift damage here than almost anywhere else in the Farnham area.
We cover Rowledge (GU10) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

Rowledge's elevation on the Surrey-Hampshire border creates wind loading conditions unlike sheltered valley properties. The south-westerly exposure means ridge and hip mortar on west-facing elevations deteriorates faster here than anywhere else in the Farnham area. After any significant Atlantic storm, Rowledge properties should be checked from ground level for displaced ridge tiles.

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 Rowledge'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 Rowledge's pre-1950 slate properties. Re-nailing extends the roof's life 40–60 years without full replacement.
