Working in Abbots Langley
An old village with newer homes all around it.
The village centre
The centre of Abbots Langley grew up around St Lawrence's Church, and the older High Street has cottages and period buildings. Around it are post-war semis and short terraces, many with hipped or gable roofs. These houses usually need ridge and verge mortar redone, slipped tiles fixed and tired guttering replaced.
Leavesden's newer estates
Leavesden has a lot of newer housing on land that once held the hospital and the aerodrome, next to the film studios. Newer roofs have their own common faults: dry verge caps that crack or blow off, ridge tiles on mortar that has shrunk, and plastic gutters that sag at the joints. Most of these are quick repairs, as long as they're done before water gets in.
Bedmond and the lanes
Bedmond and the lanes around the village have older cottages and outbuildings, often with clay tiles and lead valleys. Where a building is listed, the repair needs to use like-for-like materials. We'll tell you before we quote if we think the job needs listed building consent.

Good to know
Questions from Abbots Langley homeowners.
My Leavesden house is fairly new. Why is the roof already giving trouble?
Newer roofs usually fail at the edges, not in the middle. Dry verge caps, ridge fixings and gutter joints are the usual culprits. We check them all on the visit and fix what's needed, often in a day.
Do you cover Bedmond?
Yes. Bedmond, Hunton Bridge and the lanes between Abbots Langley and Kings Langley are all within our area.
