PROPERTIES WE WORK ON
Property types we look after in Berkhamsted
Berkhamsted roofs split into three groups. High Street cottage roofs carry handmade clay tile or natural slate with hand-formed lead. Victorian terraces near the railway carry Welsh slate with original lead at the chimneys and shared stretcher-bond stacks. Hillside detached and semi-detached homes through Berkhamsted Common and Castle Village carry larger, more complex roofs with multiple slopes and substantial lead detail. Each group ages in its own predictable way.

EXPERTISE
Roofing work on Berkhamsted's mix of period and Victorian stock
Berkhamsted roofs ask for different approaches across the property mix. High Street cottage roofs are typically small and close to the neighbours, with handmade clay tile or natural slate, original lead at the chimneys and pitched valleys that need careful repair. Victorian terraces near the railway carry Welsh slate with original lead detail and tall stretcher-bond chimneys.
The larger hillside detached and semi-detached homes carry bigger, more complex roofs with multiple slopes, valleys and chimneys. Lead at the valleys and back gutters tends to fail first; the slate or tile is often still sound at 80 years. We strip in sections so the building stays weathertight and reuse the original material where it is sound.
Lead is hand-formed in milled lead with stepped flashings worked into the brick joint. Ridge tiles bed back in lime mortar so they move with the seasons. Vents go in at eaves and ridge in line with current guidance. See chimney repair for the related stack work.
