Local roofing challenge — Welwyn Hatfield building control is stricter on original truss survey than surrounding districts — we survey structural adequacy at quote stage for any full reroof on Development Corporation stock.
On the ground — AL10 estates around South Hatfield were built to identical Development Corporation spec — one full reroof survey typically fits the whole terrace and we quote batch work.
Microclimate — Hatfield sits on the Mimram valley — ground humidity puts algae growth on north-facing slate faster than the higher ground at Welwyn Garden City.
Site access — AL10 access from HP13 is via A414 and A1(M) — 45 minutes so we batch Hatfield with Welwyn Garden City in programme weeks.
