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 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.
Full details on our roof repairs page.
Does Wendover’s conservation status affect repairs?
Wendover’s centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings. Traditional materials are expected there. (Thatch is a specialist trade; we do not re-thatch.)
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 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.
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.
