What should Chesham homeowners know?

The old town around Church Street and the Market Square has older buildings in brick, flint and timber frame under clay peg tiles. Victorian terraces in red brick, often with flint or decorative banding, run up the valley sides under Welsh slate. Interwar and post-war estates on the higher ground mix plain and concrete tiles.

What goes wrong on Chesham roofs?

Slate terrace nail sickness. Chesham’s Victorian terraces share the classic nail sickness problem: sound slates, failed nails.

Steep streets, difficult access. Steep, narrow streets mean scaffold and access need careful planning.

Valley damp. The Chess valley holds moisture, and moss grows quickly on north slopes.

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.
