Access, scaffold days and tile matching for the HP4 housing stock all push the number around. That's the kind of local factor a national price calculator misses, which is why we quote on site.

Site access — HP4 High Street loading bays are 20-minute limited so we schedule material drops before 9am and use a Dacorum-issued skip permit for anything running beyond a day.
