Housing stock — Original Development Corporation housing across HP2 and HP3 used Marley Ludlow concrete tile that's now at end of life; the Old Town and Boxmoor carry Victorian slate and handmade clay; newer estates have flat-roof porches and dormers ripe for EPDM upgrades.
Local roofing challenge — The 1950s-60s Commission-built estates in Adeyfield and Bennetts End are all reaching reroof age at once — original 3x3 lath spacing was tight, so a strip-and-relay to modern breathable membrane (Klober Permo) is the only compliant spec.
