Housing stock — Handmade clay peg tile and natural slate dominate. Many listed properties need traditional repointing and code 5 lead flashings.
Local roofing challenge — Properties in the conservation area need handmade peg-tile sourced to match — we keep stocks of common Chiltern profiles and source reclaimed where the planners require it.
On the ground — Cottages along the village green and around Milton's Cottage frequently have hipped roofs with mitred hip tiles bedded in lime — we re-bed in NHL3.5 mortar rather than gun-applied silicone, which planners insist on at consent stage.
Microclimate — The Misbourne valley holds damp under the tree canopy well into spring — north-facing roofs in HP8 carry the heaviest moss load of any village in the area, and treatment cycles run on 3-year intervals rather than 5.
Site access — Village-green properties have shared verges that are protected — scaffold legs sit on spreader boards over board pads, and we coordinate with the parish council on any work touching the green.
