Housing stock — WD17 and WD18 are dominated by Victorian slate terraces with London-stock brick chimney stacks; WD19 Oxhey has 1930s clay-tile semis; WD24/25 estates carry a lot of failed 1960s concrete tile.
Local roofing challenge — Watford Borough enforces stricter Article 4 controls than surrounding Three Rivers on the Cassiobury and Nascot Wood conservation areas — like-for-like natural slate and lead soakers are non-negotiable on any WD17 conservation reroof.
On the ground — WD18 Victorian terraces share party-wall stacks that mostly need rebuild not repoint — we serve the Party Wall Notice at quote stage so the six-week statutory clock runs in parallel with scaffold booking.
