Housing stock — Central SL4 Georgian and Victorian terraces carry Welsh slate and handmade clay tile; the Crown Estate cottages towards Windsor Great Park have hand-cut clay peg-tile that requires specialist matching.
Local roofing challenge — Anything visible from the castle sightlines is subject to World Heritage buffer-zone consultation — we've handled enough Windsor conservation submissions to know which streets need pre-app and which sit outside the buffer.
On the ground — SL4 Crown Estate cottages use a specific handmade peg-tile from a Sussex works — we hold contact details and lead time (typically 8 weeks) at quote stage so programme dates hold.
Microclimate — Windsor sits low on the Thames flood plain — ground humidity and mist keep north-facing slate damp through winter, and we specify slate hooks in preference to nails on any full re-lay to avoid future nail-sickness.
Site access — Windsor town-centre streets are heavily tourist-restricted — scaffold drops on the High Street, Peascod Street and Church Lane need Royal Borough licences and out-of-hours delivery windows.
