The drainage isn't too bad but we had so few proper frosts here this winter and so much rain that the moss was just allowed to take over.
This is the first time i have resorted to these sort of tactics but i have a deal with the Mrs that is the lawn isn't tip top this year then it's going to be dug up and paved, which i do not want.

nice to know, ta. i think aerating could be a good idea for you (from my limited research, it sounds like drainage is an issue).
i was hoping to avoid chemicals too much because the grass is a key sanity restorer for my toddler and me during this lockdown! i think i have some organic stuff somewhere though. i tried scarifying but it just yanked up the moss carpet completely, leaving... er... soil.
