What should Great Missenden homeowners know?
The High Street has timber-framed and Georgian brick buildings under old clay peg tiles, with some listed coaching inns. Victorian and Edwardian houses sit near the station, and the slopes towards Prestwood and Little Kingshill hold large interwar and post-war detached houses with plain or concrete tiles.
What goes wrong on Great Missenden roofs?
Damp valley air. The Misbourne valley holds damp, so moss and lichen grow fast and timber at the eaves rots.
Old peg tile roofs. Peg tiles on the High Street slip as pegs and nails decay, and handmade tiles need matched reclaimed replacements.
Chimney leadwork. Older stacks have worn lead flashings and cracked flaunching, a common cause of damp chimney breasts.
How do we do roof repairs?
Most roofs that leak or shed a slate need a repair, not a new roof. We find the actual cause, show you photographs of it, and fix that, whether it is a single slipped slate on a tingle or a slope suffering nail sickness.

Does Great Missenden’s conservation status affect repairs?
The village centre is a conservation area within the Chilterns National Landscape, with many listed buildings. Traditional materials are expected; like-for-like repairs usually need no consent.
Our process
What you get
- 01
Survey and photograph
We go up, photograph every defect and the condition of the surrounding roof.
- 02
Repair vs re-roof, honestly
If a repair will last, we repair. If the fixings have failed across the slope, we tell you why with photos.
- 03
Match the material
Reclaimed slates and tiles matched for size, colour and thickness so the repair disappears.
- 04
Photos of the finished work
You see what was done, even on the slopes you can’t see from the garden.
Questions
Roof repairs in Great Missenden: FAQs
Can you match the old tiles on my High Street cottage?
Yes. We source reclaimed handmade clay tiles to match colour and size so the repair blends in.
Why is moss so bad on my roof?
The valley stays damp and shaded. Biocide after cleaning slows regrowth for years.
Can you replace just one slate?
Yes. A single slipped or broken slate is refixed or replaced using a copper or lead tingle, with a reclaimed slate matched to the rest of the roof.
