Local roofing specialists covering Longwick Close and all of Aylesbury. 1950s–60s residential. Free surveys, no call-out fee, 10-year guarantee. Call 0129 670 6028.
Longwick Close and connecting streets on the southern edge of the Southcourt development combine early 1950s post-war properties with some later 1960s infill. Both property types share the Southcourt characteristic of a high proportion of flat-roofed rear extensions.
The flat roof stock across Longwick Close and surrounding streets is the same age and condition profile as Coronation Avenue — 60–70 year-old felt extensions that have had multiple repair layers and are now genuinely at end of viable patch-repair life. Full replacement with GRP or EPDM is the correct recommendation on most examples.
We cover Longwick Close from our Aylesbury base — under 15 minutes for emergency call-outs. Free surveys, written quotes, no call-out fee. Call 0129 670 6028.
Not sure what your Quarrendon roof needs? Here are the signs that point to each of the common jobs — and when a roof is fine as it is.
Damp patches or stains on upstairs ceilings after rain — usually a repair
Slipped or missing tiles visible from the ground — a repair, or re-fix if widespread
Green moss thick on the slopes — a clean, not a replacement
Overflowing or sagging gutters — guttering work
Repeated repairs on an ageing roof — time to consider replacement
When it is not the answer: A weathered but sound roof with no leaks does not need work just because it looks old — we will tell you honestly if it is fine to leave. Read the full guide.

Good to know
What It Is Like While We Work
Most jobs are external with minimal disruption; you do not need to be home for external work once access is agreed. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
We work year-round, planning around sustained rain and keeping roofs weathertight between working days. Sitting on higher, more open ground to the north-west, Quarrendon's gable ends take the prevailing wind most directly.
