About Bangor, Gwynedd and the LL57 area

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.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

Close by, we also cover Llangefni (8 miles), Caernarfon (8 miles), Llandudno (14 miles).
