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.
Local roofing challenge — South Oxfordshire's conservation team is stricter than Bucks next door on chimney-pot replacement — original Victorian bishop or crown pots must be reinstated like-for-like on any RG9 conservation area stack rebuild.
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.
Microclimate — Thames mist and the hills above Henley trap humidity in the town centre until midday most autumn days — moss and algae recovery on north-facing slate is markedly faster than upstream at Marlow.
Site access — Regatta week (early July) closes most of central Henley to lorries — we programme RG9 work around Regatta dates and never quote a delivery window in early July.
Every Henley-on-Thames job we quote we'd be happy to put on our own house — that's the spec test we apply before sending pricing.
