Odiham's timber-framed High Street is a conservation area, and foam on that timber is a heritage problem as well as a mortgage one. We work by hand throughout.

Odiham has one of the best preserved high streets in Hampshire, a long run of timber-framed and Georgian buildings inside a conservation area, with the ruins of King John's castle on the Basingstoke Canal just outside the village. Housing here is old enough that a retrofit foam job has been sprayed onto timber measured in centuries rather than decades. On a building like that, careless removal risks more than a mortgage decline. It risks permanent damage to the fabric the conservation area exists to protect, and on a listed property it can put the owner in breach. We work entirely by hand on Odiham's older roofs, chisels and scrapers along the grain, and we check the property's status before agreeing a method rather than after. Where consent is needed for ventilation openings or covering changes, that gets raised at survey. Newer housing in North Warnborough and around the village edges is surveyed as ordinary work, with no need to treat a 1990s roof as though it were listed.
On a timber-framed building the aim is not to clear the roof as fast as possible, it is to leave the original structure no worse than we found it while making it visible again. Those are different jobs and they call for different methods. Hand tools throughout, no solvent, no heat, and a willingness to stop and ask the local authority where a property's status is unclear. Fifteen years of roofing across Hampshire's oldest housing is what makes that the default here rather than an exception we have to argue for.
