On the ground — Cookham is the only village in our patch governed by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead — Building Control standards and rain-water run-off rules are stricter than Bucks, and we spec EPDM with 150mm upstands as default here.
Microclimate — Cookham's riverside elevation and mature canopy mean morning mist sits on roofs until late, and north-facing slate runs ahead of the area on moss accumulation — we treat on 3-year cycles in SL6 rather than the 5-year norm.
Site access — Cookham High Street is narrow and frequently busy with gallery and pub trade — we book delivery slots before 9am midweek and avoid weekends entirely to keep village access flowing.
