How we run leaking flat roof repair jobs in SL6
SL6 Taplow detached properties around Berry Hill commonly have four-elevation hipped tile roofs with lead-rolled bay tops on all faces — we quote full lead upgrade rather than face-by-face patches, which is the only spec that outlasts the tile. Crew arrives via A4, sets up between 7:30 and 8:00, and we keep the same lead roofer on the job from start to finish. No subcontracted handovers.
