What's driving porch roof repair & replacement on RG4 roofs
Sonning is an affluent Thames-side village east of Reading — historic core around the church, brick-and-tile cottages along the High Street and large detached homes on the river frontage. On a typical Sonning street near St Andrew's Church we'd expect the same handful of failure points to show up — slipped ridges, dry-perished mortar, lead splits at the chimney apron. We know what to look for before the scaffold even goes up.
