Broken Roof Tile Replacement in Datchet
Round Datchet the broken roof tile replacement pattern is consistent enough that we can often guess the cause over the phone. Datchet is prone to Thames flooding (the 2014 floods hit hard) — ground-level humidity keeps low-elevation tile damp longer than average, and we recommend stainless steel valley trays rather than lead on any reroof below the 2014 flood line.
