On the ground — WD6 estates around Cowley Hill were built by Wates in the 1960s with Marley Ludlow concrete tile — first-reroof cycle is well underway and we batch neighbouring properties efficiently.
Microclimate — Borehamwood sits on relatively flat ground with limited wind exposure — freeze-thaw and moss growth are more common failure modes than ridge lift here.
Site access — WD6 access from HP13 is via the M25 J23 — a 40-minute run so we batch Borehamwood work with Bushey or Radlett in the same programme week.
