Our clay tile roofing process for Lane End properties
Lane End cottages around the village pond have rubble-core flint walls that absorb pointing mortar inconsistently — we use a slower-setting NHL2 lime mix here rather than NHL3.5 to give the wall time to draw the mortar properly. On a typical Lane End property we'll scaffold or use a tower depending on access from B482, trace the fault to its real source, and quote in writing before work starts. Most Lane End repairs we book within the same week.

Local roofing challenge — Flint cottages have irregular wall planes and rubble cores — lead trays need bespoke bossing rather than off-the-shelf cover flashing to actually seal.
On the ground — Lane End cottages around the village pond have rubble-core flint walls that absorb pointing mortar inconsistently — we use a slower-setting NHL2 lime mix here rather than NHL3.5 to give the wall time to draw the mortar properly.
Microclimate — Lane End sits on the same Chiltern ridge as Stokenchurch and catches similar wind exposure — but the village dips into a small bowl that holds frost on the green well into March.
