Background
Oxford House in Aylesbury required a complete pitched roof renewal to improve thermal performance, weather resistance, and overall aesthetic appeal. JR Roofing Contracts was appointed by MCR Property to deliver a high-quality installation that would enhance both the function and appearance of the building while meeting all current building regulations.

- Quality control: All works were carried out to current British Standards, with continuous supervision to maintain high workmanship standards.
Results
The project was completed to specification, on time, and with zero defects. The new roof offers significantly improved insulation, weatherproofing, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring long-term performance and reduced maintenance requirements.
