Housing stock — HP18 Brill has handmade clay peg-tile on the older cottages; modern housing carries concrete tile.
Local roofing challenge — Brill sits at 200m on an isolated hilltop with 360-degree wind exposure — ridge lift is a documented problem and mechanical dry-ridge is essential.
On the ground — HP18 Brill cottages around the green commonly have unusually tall brick chimneys built for the hilltop draught — most stacks need rebuild rather than repoint by the third generation of pointing failure.
Microclimate — The hilltop position gives Brill some of the highest wind exposure in the whole catchment — freeze-thaw and ridge lift both run harder here than any surrounding village.
Site access — HP18 Brill lanes are narrow with restricted passing — we route scaffold lorries from the B4011 rather than village-centre approaches.
