Our fallen tree on roof — make-safe & repair process for Marlow Bottom properties
Thames mist sits in the lower town until late morning most autumns — moss growth on north-facing slate is noticeably heavier than in SL7 properties up on the hill towards Bovingdon Green. Site visit first, written quote second, work third. That order matters in Marlow — what looks minor from the ground can turn into a fortnight's work, or the other way round. We don't price blind.

Fallen Tree on Roof — Make-Safe & Repair FAQ for SL7
How quickly can you get to Marlow?+
Most Marlow call-outs we reach the same day during normal hours — typically under 2 hours via A404 (M40-M4 link).
Will you make it watertight on the first Marlow visit?+
In almost every case, yes — temporary tarp, common SL7 replacement tiles from the van, or a lead patch on a chimney flashing. Permanent repair is quoted in writing afterwards.
What's your busiest time of year in Marlow?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first A4155-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book SL7 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.
What if the storm damage is bigger than a single visit?+
We secure the roof first, document everything for your insurer (photos, scope, written cause), and schedule permanent repair within days rather than weeks. 4.2 miles from our yard means return visits aren't a problem.
Who's the local authority for Marlow roofing work?+
Buckinghamshire Council. We handle notifications and conservation submissions on your behalf — particularly relevant for properties near Higginson Park.

Housing stock — River-front properties get hammered by damp and wind off the Thames — chimney flashings, lead valleys and ridge re-bedding dominate the repair calls here.
Local roofing challenge — Riverside humidity and the prevailing south-westerly off the Thames accelerate mortar erosion on chimney stacks — we routinely repoint and re-flaunch listed-area stacks every 15-20 years here.
On the ground — Properties between West Street and the river have shared boundary walls and party-wall chimneys — every stack rebuild in SL7 needs a Party Wall Notice served before scaffold, which we draft as part of the quote.
Microclimate — Thames mist sits in the lower town until late morning most autumns — moss growth on north-facing slate is noticeably heavier than in SL7 properties up on the hill towards Bovingdon Green.
Site access — Marlow Bridge has a 3-tonne weight limit so material deliveries to the south side route via Bourne End — we plan delivery windows around the Saturday market to keep the High Street clear.
