A scaffold day, a tile match decision and any lead detailing are the levers. Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead handles building control notifications; we route those for you.

Frequently asked — Lead Flashing Cost (2026) in Eton
Why might a Eton quote come in higher than a national average?+
Access, scaffold days and tile matching for the SL4 housing stock all push the number around. That's the kind of local factor a national price calculator misses, which is why we quote on site.
How far are you from Eton?+
Our yard is in High Wycombe — about 11.5 miles, roughly 28 minutes off-peak via A308. That keeps travel charges down and return visits painless.
Which parts of Eton do you actually work in?+
All of it — SL4 and surrounding postcodes. We're also in windsor and slough most weeks.
What's your busiest time of year in Eton?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first Eton Wick Road-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book SL4 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.
Do you do fixed-price quotes for Eton jobs?+
Yes — once we've surveyed the roof, we issue a written fixed-price quote. Only genuinely hidden issues (rotten timbers under intact tiles) ever move the figure, and we always show you first.
If a quick chat would help, the mobile rings straight through — no gatekeepers between you and the roofer running your Eton job.
