What to notice around historic roof coverings
Identify the work needed around historic roof coverings using the inspection photographs Adam supplies with your written quotation.
Older roof character
Tell Adam about worn tiles beside older parapet and chimney details; an inspection needs to establish which perimeter details must be retained in the new specification before the visible problem is priced.
Look beyond the historic detail
The reason for looking closely at historic roof coverings is that the covering and its perimeter need a compatible renewal plan, with the adjoining parapet weathering forming part of the inspection.
Previous work needs explaining
Bring any records relating to your historic roof coverings, including photographs or descriptions of earlier work, so Adam can compare the previous scope with the roof now.
A clear scope is missing
Before agreeing your replacement roof, ask the roofer to explain which perimeter details must be retained in the new specification and identify the proposed work at the adjoining parapet weathering.

Older roof character in Buckingham
The clay tiled roofs near the Old Gaol and the town's older slate slopes and parapets give Buckingham a mixture of roof forms to consider when inspecting historic roof coverings. Your historic roof coverings need to be checked against that particular building and its parapet weathering. For a concealed gutter behind a parapet, the inspection follows the construction beyond the visible parapet weathering before work is priced. Adam is based in Buckingham and records the findings about historic roof coverings himself, giving you photographs and a written explanation to support the decision.
