We work across MK18 and the surrounding villages. We're regularly in milton keynes and winslow too, so Buckingham call-outs rarely come from a cold start.

Housing stock — Plain clay tile, handmade tile and natural slate on listed properties. Lead-lined parapet gutters and box gutters are frequent jobs.
Local roofing challenge — Lead-lined parapet gutters on Georgian terraces in the town centre are the single biggest source of leaks — we strip, re-board and re-lay in code 6 lead with proper drips and rolls.
On the ground — Properties around Castle Street and Market Hill have Welsh slate from the original Georgian builds — we source like-for-like Penrhyn or Cwt-y-Bugail rather than imported Spanish for any conservation repair.
