What this changes for a job
- Exposed or coastal roofing: ask about the building and access, then assess actual conditions before promising roof work.
- Cold-weather heating work: prepare the common consumables you actually use and confirm appliance details before travelling.
- Flood or tidal context: confirm the current situation and access; a town tag does not establish that a particular property is affected.
These tags are a preparation prompt, not a current forecast or a reason to promise more calls in that town.
Source and limitations
Tags are derived from the authored housing/weather descriptions in our city catalogue using the curated vocabularies in the geo-tag generator. They are qualitative inference, not a measured climate or callout dataset. Census figures on regional pages carry their own source, year and geographic scope.
