Egham Wick is a charming riverside village where the Thames creates both character and specific environmental challenges. Beautiful riverside setting brings special requirements for roof assessment understanding waterside moisture, humidity, and water management.

Egham Wick's charm comes from Thames riverside location. This creates specific roof challenges different from inland properties. Water management, humidity levels, and environmental exposure all differ significantly from standard suburban homes.
