Things Thame customers ask first
Which parts of Thame do you actually work in?+
All of it — OX9 and surrounding postcodes. We're also in princes risborough, chinnor and aylesbury most weeks.
Will the repair last on a Thame 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.
Is this a common issue on Thame roofs?+
Yes — it's one of the more frequent OX9 call-outs we get, particularly on roofs near St Mary's Church.
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 OX9 roofs the entry point is often a metre or more from the visible stain.
What's your busiest time of year in Thame?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first B4011-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book OX9 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.

Housing stock — High Street OX9 carries Welsh slate and handmade clay tile; the surrounding 1980s-2000s estates have concrete tile that's now approaching first-reroof age.
Local roofing challenge — South Oxfordshire District conservation officer requires colour-matched handmade clay for any High Street conservation-area reroof — Marley Acme is not accepted as a like-for-like substitute in Thame.
On the ground — OX9 estates around Chinnor Road were built by Bovis and Wimpey in the 1990s to a shared spec — original Redland Stonewold concrete tile is fading and cracking uniformly across the estates and reroof runs are efficient to batch.
Microclimate — Thame sits in a bowl below the Chiltern escarpment — cold air drainage puts frost harder here than surrounding villages, so lime mortar for chimney pointing outperforms sand-cement.
Site access — Thame's medieval one-way system channels heavy vehicles onto Cornmarket and North Street only — we brief scaffold delivery drivers on route before every OX9 job.
Every Thame job we quote we'd be happy to put on our own house — that's the spec test we apply before sending pricing.
