Things Brackley customers ask first
Will the repair last on a Brackley 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.
What's your busiest time of year in Brackley?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first A422-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book NN13 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.
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 NN13 roofs the entry point is often a metre or more from the visible stain.
Is this a common issue on Brackley roofs?+
Yes — it's one of the more frequent NN13 call-outs we get, particularly on roofs near Brackley Town Hall.
How far are you from Brackley?+
Our yard is in High Wycombe — about 32.8 miles, roughly 79 minutes off-peak via A43. That keeps travel charges down and return visits painless.
