Borehamwood moss on roof — removal & treatment — your questions

Almost always. We trace from inside (loft staining, daylight, damp lines) then verify outside. On WD6 roofs the entry point is often a metre or more from the visible stain.

Is this a common issue on Borehamwood roofs?+
Yes — it's one of the more frequent WD6 call-outs we get, particularly on roofs near Aberford Park.
Will the repair last on a Borehamwood property?+
We spec to the local stock — like-for-like materials, proper mechanical fixings, code 4 or 5 lead at flashings — and back it with a written workmanship guarantee.
