Working in Rickmansworth
Metro-land roofs where three rivers meet.
Metro-land homes
Rickmansworth grew fast after the Metropolitan Railway arrived, and much of it is 1920s and 1930s Metro-land housing. These semis and detached homes have hipped clay tile roofs, tile-hung bays and gables, and tall chimneys. Many are nearing a century old, so the original tiles and battens are often tired. Careful repairs can keep them going, but some need a full re-roof in matching tiles.
Moor Park and Croxley Green
Moor Park is a private estate of large houses, and like the green at Croxley Green, parts of it are conservation areas. Work there often comes with estate rules, as well as council controls on materials and appearance. We check what applies before quoting, so there are no surprises halfway through the job.
Near the water
With the Aquadrome lakes, the canal and three rivers, lower parts of Rickmansworth hold a lot of water after heavy rain. Gutters, downpipes and soakaways that keep up with it matter here. We also lay driveways and patios with the drainage built in.

Questions from Rickmansworth homeowners.
Can you work on houses on the Moor Park estate?
Yes. We'll check any estate rules and conservation area controls that apply to the house, and plan access with you before the job starts.
My 1930s roof is losing tiles. Do I need a new roof?
Not necessarily. If the tiles are sound but the nails or battens have failed, a strip and re-lay with new battens and membrane, re-using the original tiles, can keep the look of the house for a lower cost.
