Moss on Roof — Removal & Treatment — a local view from Datchet
Datchet is prone to Thames flooding (the 2014 floods hit hard) — ground-level humidity keeps low-elevation tile damp longer than average, and we recommend stainless steel valley trays rather than lead on any reroof below the 2014 flood line. We work across SL3 and the surrounding villages. Our Datchet jobs usually sit alongside work in windsor and slough.

On the ground — SL3 Datchet properties on Horton Road commonly have flat-roof rear extensions built in the 1980s with three-layer felt — we're replacing these systematically with EPDM single-ply as the felt reaches end of life.
