What should Amersham homeowners know?

Amersham Old Town is a near-complete historic market town of timber-framed and Georgian-fronted buildings under handmade clay peg tiles, many listed. Amersham-on-the-Hill was built up from the 1890s to the 1930s with Edwardian and interwar houses in plain clay tile, and post-war estates around it. There is also notable modernist housing nearby with flat roofs.

What goes wrong on Amersham roofs?

Old Town peg tiles. Handmade peg tiles on centuries-old roofs slip as pegs and nails decay and frost breaks the tile faces.

Metroland hips and valleys. Interwar roofs on the Hill commonly have loose hips and worn valleys.

Flat roofs on modernist homes. Flat roofs need regular maintenance at edges and outlets.

How do we do gutter cleaning?

We clear gutters with a gutter vacuum, working from the ground where possible and to working-at-height rules where not. Because we are roofers, we also photograph the gutters and roof edge and tell you if anything needs attention.
