Things Buckingham customers ask first
Can you find the leak if it's not obvious?+
Almost always. We trace from inside (loft staining, daylight, damp lines) then verify outside. On MK18 roofs the entry point is often a metre or more from the visible stain.
Will the repair last on a Buckingham property?+
We spec to the local stock — like-for-like materials, proper mechanical fixings, code 4 or 5 lead at flashings — and back it with a written workmanship guarantee.
How far are you from Buckingham?+
Our yard is in High Wycombe — about 27.6 miles, roughly 66 minutes off-peak via A413. That keeps travel charges down and return visits painless.

Yes — Buckingham is one of our regular areas. We work across MK18 weekly from our High Wycombe base (27.6 miles via A413). Building control notifications go through Buckinghamshire Council where required.

Local roofing challenge — Lead-lined parapet gutters on Georgian terraces in the town centre are the single biggest source of leaks — we strip, re-board and re-lay in code 6 lead with proper drips and rolls.
On the ground — Properties around Castle Street and Market Hill have Welsh slate from the original Georgian builds — we source like-for-like Penrhyn or Cwt-y-Bugail rather than imported Spanish for any conservation repair.
Microclimate — Open countryside to the north means MK18 takes the full force of north-easterly winter weather — north-facing slates pick up freeze-thaw damage that we rarely see further south in the patch.
Site access — MK18 jobs are a 30-mile run from our High Wycombe yard so we typically batch Buckingham and Winslow work in the same week to keep travel costs out of the quote.
