Housing stock — UB8 town centre carries Victorian slate; UB10 Hillingdon is 1930s clay tile; UB9 Denham border has larger detached inter-war and post-war properties.
Local roofing challenge — Uxbridge falls under Hillingdon's stricter London Borough building control — building notice fees and inspection lead times are longer than Bucks next door, and we build that into the programme for UB jobs.
On the ground — UB8 town-centre Victorian terraces have shared valleys running the length of a row — a proper valley re-lay needs neighbour agreement to lift a metre onto adjoining slopes, which we negotiate at quote stage.
