h1 tag positioning on mobile browser - css

Question

I cant seem to figure out why the h1 tag is showing differently on mobile browsers.
The site is www.jd-financialservices.co.uk When I view the site on my desktop everything is fine. When I view it on my Nexus 4 however, the 10px gap between h1 and the .topbar div has gone. It's the same on Opera, Firefox and Chrome.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you in advance.

I would advise against using position:relative; and negative top on all of your elements.
With some minor changes to your css you will probably find that it fixes itself: here is my updated version of your css. See if that fixes things.
I updated: aside nav h1 .welcome and footer. By changing some of the header elements to use position:absolute and then using margin to space elements out. You will probably find the css is more compatible cross-browser/device.
#font-face { font-family: 'Constantia'; src: url('constantia/constantia.eot'); src: url('constantia/constantia.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('constantia/constantia.svg#Constantia') format('svg'), url('constantia/constantia.woff') format('woff'), url('constantia/constantia.ttf') format('truetype'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;}
