Housing stock — HP17 Haddenham has handmade clay peg-tile and lead-flashing detail on the older witchert-walled cottages; the modern estates carry concrete tile with 15-20 years remaining.
Local roofing challenge — Haddenham's witchert-walled cottages need lime-based mortars and specialist detailing at the wall-head — sand-cement mortars damage the witchert and fail conservation officer inspection.
On the ground — HP17 Haddenham modern estates around Rosemary Lane were built by Bovis and Bloor in the 1990s-2000s — first-reroof cycle is 5-10 years away and we're doing more repair-and-inspect work here than reroofs.
Microclimate — The Vale of Aylesbury is flat and exposed with no shelter from the south-west — mechanical dry-ridge is essential and lime mortar bedding on chimneys outperforms sand-cement.
Site access — HP17 is a 25-minute run from HP13 via the A4129 — we batch Haddenham with Thame or Long Crendon in programme weeks.
