Local roofing challenge — Bushey Heath is in Hertsmere's conservation area — like-for-like handmade clay and Code 5 lead is required for any visible-elevation work, and Hertsmere's planning officers are stricter than neighbouring Three Rivers on colour matching.
On the ground — WD23 detached properties around Merry Hill and Chalk Hill often carry twin lead-rolled bay tops that were re-covered in felt in the 1990s — we're now removing failed felt and re-laying in bossed code 5 sheet as the definitive fix.
Microclimate — Bushey Heath is one of the higher elevations in Hertfordshire — south-westerly wind loads on the ridge line above Merry Hill are noticeably heavier than lower WD24 Watford, so mechanical fixing is essential here.
Site access — WD23 High Street has weekend market restrictions — scaffold lorries need weekday drops and we plan accordingly.
