Why Windsor sagging roof diagnosis & repair is its own kind of job
Windsor sits low on the Thames flood plain — ground humidity and mist keep north-facing slate damp through winter, and we specify slate hooks in preference to nails on any full re-lay to avoid future nail-sickness. We work across SL4 and the surrounding villages. Most weeks the same van is in maidenhead, slough and datchet on adjacent jobs.
What's driving sagging roof diagnosis & repair on SL4 roofs
SL4 Crown Estate cottages use a specific handmade peg-tile from a Sussex works — we hold contact details and lead time (typically 8 weeks) at quote stage so programme dates hold. On a typical Windsor street near Windsor Castle we'd expect the same handful of failure points to show up — slipped ridges, dry-perished mortar, lead splits at the chimney apron. We know what to look for before the scaffold even goes up.

Will my insurer accept your Windsor 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 Windsor Castle.

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.
