Housing stock — Central RG9 has Welsh slate on the Georgian townhouses and handmade clay peg-tile on the older cottages; river-front properties carry heavy lead detailing.

On the ground — RG9 river-front Regency terraces on Thames Side have shared lead-rolled parapet gutters — we re-lay in code 7 lead in single bays not soldered, which is the only spec approved by the conservation officer.

Henley-on-Thames roof leak repair in buckinghamshire — your questions
What's your busiest time of year in Henley-on-Thames?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first A4155-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book RG9 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.
Can you find the leak if it's not obvious?+
Almost always. We trace from inside (loft staining, daylight, damp lines) then verify outside. On RG9 roofs the entry point is often a metre or more from the visible stain.
Will the repair last on a Henley-on-Thames property?+
We spec to the local stock — like-for-like materials, proper mechanical fixings, code 4 or 5 lead at flashings — and back it with a written workmanship guarantee.
Will my insurer accept your Henley-on-Thames report?+
Yes — we provide photo-documented reports with the cause, scope and quoted repair. We've done this for most major UK insurers on jobs around River & Rowing Museum.
Who's the local authority for Henley-on-Thames roofing work?+
South Oxfordshire District Council. We handle notifications and conservation submissions on your behalf — particularly relevant for properties near River & Rowing Museum.
