Housing stock — Welsh slate and clay peg-tile dominate the High Street terraces; the 1930s properties around Kitsbury Road and Shrublands still carry original clay tile with lead soakers now failing.
Local roofing challenge — Conservation-area rules run tight along the High Street, Castle Street and the canal-side lanes — Dacorum's conservation officer will refuse concrete substitutes on slate roofs, so we spec Welsh Penrhyn as standard for HP4 heritage work.
On the ground — Berkhamsted stack rebuilds along the ridge above Kingshill are unusually tall (three-storey plus original chimney) and need mobile-tower access with kentledge — we quote crane-lift on stacks over 8m rather than hand-carry bricks.
Microclimate — The Bulbourne valley funnels a steady south-westerly along the canal — north-facing slates on the High Street terraces stay damp into late morning and moss re-establishes within 3 years of treatment.
