Working in Chesham
Valley terraces and hillside homes in the Chilterns.
The Old Town and the valley
Chesham sits in the valley of the River Chess, at the end of the Metropolitan line. The Old Town around Church Street is a conservation area, with older timber-framed and brick buildings. In the valley and around Newtown there are streets of Victorian terraces, many with slate or clay tile roofs, shared chimney stacks and small rear roofs.
Hills, flint and brick
The roads out of the town centre climb steeply, so scaffolding and skips need more thought than on a flat street. Chiltern flint and brick are common in garden walls and older buildings around Chesham. When we repair brickwork or flint walls, we use a lime mortar that matches the original, so the wall can breathe.
Post-war homes on the hills
Pond Park, Hivings Hill and the edges of town have more post-war and later homes. The usual jobs here are ridge and verge repairs, flat roofs on extensions, gutters, fascias and soffits.

Good to know
Questions from Chesham homeowners.
Chesham is in Buckinghamshire. Do you still cover it?
Yes. Chesham is about seven miles from our Hemel Hempstead base and well inside our area. For anything that needs planning advice, the local council is Buckinghamshire Council.
Can you repair an old flint and brick garden wall?
Yes. We rebuild loose sections and repoint in a lime mortar, re-using the original flints and bricks where we can, so the repair blends in.
