Housing stock — Riverside properties get serious damp pressure; we replace a lot of fatigued chimney flashings and tired flat roofs on extensions here.
Local roofing challenge — Flood-zone properties around the marina need flat-roof extensions specced with raised upstands and EPDM single-piece membranes — we install systems rated for ponding rather than budget felt.
On the ground — Riverside properties in Wakeman Road and Marina Way regularly need EPDM flat roofs upgraded with 150mm upstands rather than the standard 75mm — flood-zone insurance providers now expect that spec at renewal.
Microclimate — The Thames-Wye confluence at Bourne End creates morning mist that sits on roofs until late morning ten months a year — moss and lichen growth on shaded slopes is consistently heavier than 2 miles inland.
Site access — The level crossing on Cores End Road controls our delivery timing — we avoid 7-9am and 4-6pm windows when barrier downtime stacks up traffic for half a mile.
