Natural Welsh and Westmorland slate is common on Wrecclesham's older housing stock and can last 100 years or more with correct maintenance. We repair, re-nail and re-slate period properties across Wrecclesham, sourcing matching natural slate where required.
Wrecclesham's 1930s–1950s housing includes natural slate roofing on School Hill and surrounding streets where Victorian and Edwardian properties are concentrated. These roofs often have decades of life remaining with targeted repairs.
Semi-detached and detached properties built in the 1930s to 1950s. Mix of concrete interlocking tile and original clay tile on older stock.
Moss accumulation on north-facing clay tile roofs. Concrete tile surface carbonation on 1950s stock. Timber fascia rot on unmodernised properties. Lead valley failures on tree-covered plots.
Wrecclesham sits in the Wey valley floor south of Farnham. The low-lying position creates higher ambient humidity — moss growth on north and east facing slopes is above average.
Wrecclesham's valley floor position creates a frost pocket — freeze-thaw cycles hit harder here than on elevated Farnham, accelerating pointing failure and tile cracking.
We cover Wrecclesham (GU10) and all Farnham postcodes. Same-day surveys Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7. Call 0125 244 7622.

"Excellent slate roofing work on our 1930s–1950s property. Came when they said they would, did exactly what was quoted, left the place clean. Would recommend to anyone in Wrecclesham."
"Really impressed with the knowledge of local properties. They understood exactly what our Wrecclesham house needed and specified the job correctly first time."
"Free quote, no obligation, fair price. The work was done to a high standard and they explained everything clearly. Exactly what you want from a local roofer."
Valley-floor humidity and frost pocket conditions mean roofs here need specific attention. The combination of persistent morning damp and harder freeze-thaw cycles than elevated Farnham accelerates mortar deterioration and moss growth on north-facing slopes. Properties on Sandrock Hill Road and Lower Weybourne Lane consistently present with more advanced moss colonisation than equivalent properties on the ridge above.

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