Will my insurer accept your Ivinghoe 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 St Mary's Church.
Will the repair last on a Ivinghoe 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.
What's your busiest time of year in Ivinghoe?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first B488-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book LU7 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.
