Housing stock — Original Development Corporation housing across HP2 and HP3 used Marley Ludlow concrete tile that's now at end of life; the Old Town and Boxmoor carry Victorian slate and handmade clay; newer estates have flat-roof porches and dormers ripe for EPDM upgrades.
Local roofing challenge — The 1950s-60s Commission-built estates in Adeyfield and Bennetts End are all reaching reroof age at once — original 3x3 lath spacing was tight, so a strip-and-relay to modern breathable membrane (Klober Permo) is the only compliant spec.
On the ground — HP2 and HP3 estates share a Development Corporation build spec — once we've measured one three-bed terrace we can price the row with confidence, and we run repeat-terrace work as programme quotes.
Microclimate — The Gade valley through Boxmoor holds mist late into the morning through autumn — moss return on north-facing pitches is faster here than on the exposed HP2 estates uphill.
Site access — Hemel estate roads are narrow with resident parking bays only — we book pavement licences through Dacorum for any scaffold that oversails the footway, typically 10 working days ahead.
