What kind of roofs are in Wendover?
The High Street and Aylesbury Road hold old brick, flint and timber-framed buildings under clay peg tiles, with some thatch. Victorian and Edwardian houses fill the roads near the station, and 1960s–80s estates spread north towards the vale with concrete tiles. The Chilterns setting means wind exposure on the edges.

What we see in Wendover
What typically goes wrong with Wendover roofs?
Exposure at the foot of the hills
Roofs on the edges of town catch wind coming off the Chilterns, lifting tiles and verges.
Old peg tile roofs
Old roofs in the centre slip as pegs and nails decay.
Estate ridges and verges
1960s–80s concrete roofs have cracked mortar ridges and verges.

Wendover repairs include storm-lifted tiles on exposed roofs, peg-tile repairs in the old town and ridges and verges on the estates, where dry systems are often the answer.
Roof cleaning and moss removal in Wendover
Wooded hillsides around Wendover mean moss on shaded slopes. Soft wash and biocide clean without damaging tiles or slate.
Gutter cleaning in Wendover
Leaf fall from the Chilterns woods fills gutters each autumn, and older cottages have small, low gutters that overflow easily.

Local questions
Wendover roofing questions
Do you repair thatched roofs?
No, thatch is a specialist trade. We do repair chimneys and leadwork on thatched buildings, and tiled roofs around them.
My roof loses tiles in westerly winds. Why?
Exposure from the hills. Mechanical fixing or a dry verge can stop it.
Do you cover the whole of Wendover?
Yes, including the estates and nearby villages.
