What Kings Langley customers tell us about clay tile roofing
The Gade valley funnels frost overnight — sand-cement bedded ridge tiles fail here 5-7 years earlier than mechanical dry-ridge, which is now our default WD4 spec. We work across WD4 and the surrounding villages. We're regularly in abbots langley, hemel hempstead and watford too, so Kings Langley call-outs rarely come from a cold start.
