Broken Roof Tile Replacement — a local view from Windsor
Windsor sits low on the Thames flood plain — ground humidity and mist keep north-facing slate damp through winter, and we specify slate hooks in preference to nails on any full re-lay to avoid future nail-sickness. We work across SL4 and the surrounding villages. Most weeks the same van is in slough, datchet and maidenhead on adjacent jobs.
