Housing stock — Big handmade clay tile and natural slate roofs with elaborate dormer, valley and turret detailing — bespoke lead work is 40%+ of what we do here.
Local roofing challenge — Chorleywood Common is a SSSI so scaffold, welfare and material storage on any property backing the Common is restricted — we route deliveries via Rickmansworth Road rather than Common-side lanes.
On the ground — WD3 Chorleywood detached homes around Shire Lane commonly have four-pitch hipped tile roofs with lead-rolled bay tops — we replace lead-look flashband on bay tops with proper bossed code 5 lead as the standard remedial spec.
