Materials & methods we'd use here

Most St Neot properties we treat have granite and painted render walls and a Cornish slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Aluminium roof ladders sized for the pitch typical of Cornish slate

  • Method

    Ridge re-bedding in NHL hydraulic lime on older granite cottages and farmhouses where mortar has failed

  • Method

    Solar arrays worked around without disturbing fixings - common on newer St Neot builds

  • Method

    £5m public liability and working-at-height paperwork on file for every moorland village site
