What should Wendover homeowners know?

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 goes wrong on 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.

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.

Questions

Gutter cleaning in Wendover: FAQs

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.
