A bungalow has more roof and more driveway per room than any other house type, and the roof is close enough to the ground that people notice its condition from the street.
Roof area dominates
With the whole floorplan under one shallow pitch, roof growth is the biggest visual factor. It is also easier and safer to reach than on a two-storey house, which helps.
This guide sits under our Roof Cleaning work, covering 20-mile radius of Plymouth.
Long gutter runs
More perimeter means more gutter, more outlets and more chances for a blockage. It is worth having every run camera-checked rather than only the visible front.
Driveways and turning areas
Bungalow plots often have generous hardstanding, which is usually the second-biggest job. Pricing driveway and roof together in one visit avoids two call-outs.
