Covering Prestwick and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
From Kilmarnock to Prestwick is roughly 10 miles — all part of the Ayrshire area we cover.
