ROOFERS Chesham
Slate, tile and lead roofing across Chesham
Chesham roofs run from Victorian slate on the town-centre terraces to larger tile and slate roofs on the Chiltern hillsides through Pednor and Asheridge. Each calls for a different specification. JP Building Services are roofers in Chesham covering the whole of HP5. For non-roofing work see property maintenance in Chesham.
OUR PROCESS
How we run a Chesham roofing job
Hillside Chesham roofs are slow to inspect on a ladder, so drone scans give a clearer first look; here is how a typical HP5 roofing job runs.
Inspection by ladder or drone
Hillside Chesham roofs are slow on a ladder. A drone scan gives a complete photo record before any quote lands.
Written quote with materials named
Slate or tile, underlay grade, ventilation route and lead spec all named. Fixed price.
Scheduled with a weather window
Roofing in winter needs honesty about the weather. Scaffold and skip permits with Buckinghamshire Council are arranged in advance.
PROPERTIES WE WORK ON
Property types we look after in Chesham
Chesham roofs split into three groups. Town-centre Victorian terraces carry Welsh slate with original lead at the chimneys. Hillside detached houses through Pednor and Asheridge carry larger, more complex roofs with multiple slopes and chimneys. The Waterside and modern stock along the River Chess valley carry contemporary tile profiles. Each group ages in its own predictable way.

EXPERTISE
Re-roofing on Chesham's town-centre and hillside properties
A Chesham town-centre Victorian terrace and a hillside detached house need different re-roof approaches. The terraces typically carry Welsh slate with original lead at the chimney back, sometimes with no underlay or brittle torch-bedded lime that has crumbled. A strip-and-recover with breathable membrane and new hand-formed lead is usually the right answer.
Hillside houses through Pednor and Asheridge carry larger, more complex roofs with multiple slopes, valleys and chimneys. Lead at the valleys and chimney back gutters tends to fail first; the slate or tile itself is often still sound. We strip in sections so the building stays weathertight, sort the original material carefully, and reuse what is sound, blending reclaim where partial replacement is appropriate.
Ventilation goes in at eaves and ridge in line with current guidance. See chimney repair for related stack work that often comes up on the same scaffold.
