Local roofing challenge — St Albans has one of the most active conservation-area regimes in the region — the Roman city, cathedral precinct and Fishpool Street conservation areas all require pre-app consultation for any external roof change, and we handle those submissions.
On the ground — AL1 city-centre Georgian townhouses commonly have concealed lead-lined parapet gutters between the pitch and the parapet — leak diagnosis needs internal roof-void inspection which we do at survey stage.

Site access — St Albans is 25 miles from HP13 — we batch AL work with Harpenden or Hemel Hempstead in the same week to keep travel cost out of the quote.
