Housing stock — Concrete tile roofs from the 60s and 70s are reaching end of life; we do a lot of dry-ridge and dry-verge upgrades during reroofs.
Local roofing challenge — Hillside aspect means a lot of split-level roof junctions where bungalow extensions meet original ridge — these need careful step-flashing and aren't a job for generic flashband.
On the ground — Flackwell Heath properties along Heath End Road and Daws Hill Lane sit on a steep south-facing slope — UV degradation on south-facing tile coatings runs roughly a decade ahead of north-facing slopes on the same roof.
Microclimate — The Heath sits at 130m AOD with no real shelter from the south — wind-driven rain hits ridge tiles from the M40 side year-round, so we mechanically fix every ridge during reroof as a default.
Site access — Steep driveways across the village mean wheeled scaffold deliveries get refused on grounds of slope — we hand-carry tube and fittings from the road on roughly half the HP10 jobs here.
