Chinnor: how we approach natural slate roofing

We work across OX39 and the surrounding villages. Recent Chinnor bookings sit between work in princes risborough, stokenchurch and thame.

On the ground — OX39 estates around Lower Icknield Way were built on the former cement works site with restrictive covenants on external appearance — we check covenants at quote stage rather than at planning submission.
