Housing stock — Central OX10 carries Welsh slate on Georgian and Victorian properties; the town has an unusually high concentration of listed roof structures needing specialist repair.
Local roofing challenge — Wallingford's medieval core is a Scheduled Ancient Monument zone in places — even scaffold anchor points on some Castle Street properties need pre-app archaeology sign-off, which adds 3-4 weeks to programme.
