Why leaking velux & roof window repair keeps coming up in Chalfont St Peter
The valley between Chalfont St Peter and Gerrards Cross funnels prevailing south-westerlies along the A413, so wind-driven rain on south-facing elevations is the dominant failure mode on tired tile. On a typical Chalfont St Peter street near St Peter's Church we'd expect the same handful of failure points to show up — slipped ridges, dry-perished mortar, lead splits at the chimney apron. We know what to look for before the scaffold even goes up.
