Roofers in Farnham

Farnham is an elegant Surrey town with one of the finest Georgian high streets in the county, built largely in the warm local "Farnham" brick, with a castle and a well-preserved historic core. The older stock is roofed in clay tile and natural slate, so repairs call for matching traditional materials and lime-based detailing, while the surrounding housing runs to clay and concrete tile with flat-roofed additions.

Set inland on the River Wey at the western edge of the North Downs, Farnham is spared salt but takes a wet climate, and mature trees around the town bring leaves into gutters and valleys. The fine Georgian frontages carry period detailing that rewards an experienced roofer. Owners of the historic stock should match clay tile or slate bedded in lime, work with a conservation-experienced roofer, and settle consent before any visible change in the protected centre. On the newer housing the usual overhaul-or-replace judgement applies, with rainwater goods kept clear and flashings sound.
