Why Thame epdm rubber flat roofing is its own kind of job
Thame's medieval one-way system channels heavy vehicles onto Cornmarket and North Street only — we brief scaffold delivery drivers on route before every OX9 job. We work across OX9 and the surrounding villages. Most weeks the same van is in princes risborough, aylesbury and chinnor on adjacent jobs.
EPDM Rubber Flat Roofing on a OX9 roof — the local fit
Thame sits in a bowl below the Chiltern escarpment — cold air drainage puts frost harder here than surrounding villages, so lime mortar for chimney pointing outperforms sand-cement. Get the material wrong and you'll know within two winters; get it right and you've added 30+ years. We talk through trade-offs on site with real samples.

Housing stock — High Street OX9 carries Welsh slate and handmade clay tile; the surrounding 1980s-2000s estates have concrete tile that's now approaching first-reroof age.
Local roofing challenge — South Oxfordshire District conservation officer requires colour-matched handmade clay for any High Street conservation-area reroof — Marley Acme is not accepted as a like-for-like substitute in Thame.
On the ground — OX9 estates around Chinnor Road were built by Bovis and Wimpey in the 1990s to a shared spec — original Redland Stonewold concrete tile is fading and cracking uniformly across the estates and reroof runs are efficient to batch.
Microclimate — Thame sits in a bowl below the Chiltern escarpment — cold air drainage puts frost harder here than surrounding villages, so lime mortar for chimney pointing outperforms sand-cement.
Site access — Thame's medieval one-way system channels heavy vehicles onto Cornmarket and North Street only — we brief scaffold delivery drivers on route before every OX9 job.
Every Thame job we quote we'd be happy to put on our own house — that's the spec test we apply before sending pricing.
