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.
Microclimate — Open countryside to the north means MK18 takes the full force of north-easterly winter weather — north-facing slates pick up freeze-thaw damage that we rarely see further south in the patch.
Site access — MK18 jobs are a 30-mile run from our High Wycombe yard so we typically batch Buckingham and Winslow work in the same week to keep travel costs out of the quote.

Buckingham sagging roof diagnosis & repair — your questions
What's your busiest time of year in Buckingham?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first A421-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book MK18 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.
Which parts of Buckingham do you actually work in?+
All of it — MK18 and surrounding postcodes. We're also in milton keynes and winslow most weeks.
Will my insurer accept your Buckingham 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 Old Gaol.
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 MK18 roofs the entry point is often a metre or more from the visible stain.
How far are you from Buckingham?+
Our yard is in High Wycombe — about 27.6 miles, roughly 66 minutes off-peak via A413. That keeps travel charges down and return visits painless.
