Aston Clinton High Street and the older roads around St Michael’s Church retain a number of Georgian brick and flint properties and Victorian terraces with clay plain tile or Welsh slate roofs. The village was historically an important coaching stop on the London–Aylesbury road, and the older buildings reflect this modest prosperity in their scale and material quality. Lead valleys and chimney flashings on these properties are the most frequent repair we carry out here.
The large private residential development south of the High Street — the roads off London Road and towards the Buckland roundabout — consists of 1960s and 1970s detached and semi-detached properties under concrete interlocking tile. These properties are slightly more exposed than Aylesbury town due to the open valley position of the village and the funnelling effect of the road corridor. Ridge mortar failure and nail sickness are both active issues across this housing generation. The old Aston Clinton Watermill creates a localised humidity zone for properties on the western edge of the village, with moss growth notably heavier on west-facing pitches near the watercourse.
