Our leaking flat roof repair process for Slough properties
SL1 Trading Estate terraces off Farnham Road have a specific 1930s tile-and-render bay detail that leaks at the tile/render junction — the fix is a stepped lead cover flashing, not more sealant, and we spec that as default. Our Slough jobs follow the same flow: loft inspection where possible, scaffold or drone for the outside, written quote within 48 hours, work scheduled within 1-3 weeks for non-urgent jobs. Slough Borough Council notifications handled by us.

Housing stock — SL1 and SL2 are dominated by inter-war and post-war housing stock — original clay tile in the older estates, concrete tile from the 1960s-70s reroof cycle now failing on the newer post-war blocks.
Local roofing challenge — Slough Borough has one of the highest urban population densities in the country — party-wall notices, resident consultation and CPZ permits are essential and we build them into every quote.
On the ground — SL1 Trading Estate terraces off Farnham Road have a specific 1930s tile-and-render bay detail that leaks at the tile/render junction — the fix is a stepped lead cover flashing, not more sealant, and we spec that as default.
Microclimate — Slough sits on the Thames flood plain with major road corridors on all sides — traffic film and airborne pollution soil light-coloured concrete tile faster in SL1 than in surrounding villages, so post-clean silicone seal is worthwhile.
