Long Crendon: what to expect on the day
HP18 Long Crendon stone-slate roofs use diminishing courses (larger at eaves, smaller at ridge) — this is skilled work and we quote day-rate plus materials rather than per-square-metre. Recent work spans HP18, including jobs near St Mary the Virgin Church and Court House. Materials are stocked locally so we don't run dry mid-job; offcuts go back to our High Wycombe yard rather than left on site.
