Natural Welsh and Westmorland slate is common on Shortheath's older housing stock and can last 100 years or more with correct maintenance. We repair, re-nail and re-slate period properties across Shortheath, sourcing matching natural slate where required.
Shortheath's 1960s–1980s housing includes natural slate roofing on Shortheath Road and surrounding streets where Victorian and Edwardian properties are concentrated. These roofs often have decades of life remaining with targeted repairs.
1960s–1980s semi-detached and detached housing on the eastern edge of Farnham. Concrete interlocking tile throughout. Generally well-maintained compared to some post-war estates.
Concrete tile aging on 1960s–70s properties. Gutter blockages from Farnham Park tree canopy on eastern boundary properties. Flat garage roofs needing replacement. Open ridge mortar joints.
Shortheath occupies flat ground on the eastern edge of Farnham towards Farnham Park. The park boundary creates significant tree coverage on eastern plots with attendant gutter blockage issues.
Properties backing onto Farnham Park face above-average leaf fall every autumn. Annual autumn gutter clearance is strongly recommended — a single blocked winter causes water to back up under tiles.
We cover Shortheath (GU9) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

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.

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