Typical garage roof jobs in Upper Lambourn
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Pieces of broken roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Sheet garages
Around Seven Barrows, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.
