New roofs in Bedford
A Bedford Victorian slate roof and a recently completed Wixams house call for different evidence before a replacement recommendation is made.
Around Bedford's Embankment and De Parys, Victorian houses carry slate and clay roofs with prominent chimney stacks, dormers and intersecting slopes. Adam examines corroded slate fixings and tired lead valleys before deciding which materials your roof needs. He considers sound slates for retention, photographing the affected covering and supporting layers.
Where your Embankment dormer sits beside a chimney, rain passes through several lead junctions before reaching the eaves. Adam follows each connection. Mature trees in the older residential streets shed leaves into valley gutters, so he checks for build-up alongside splits and damaged laps, then explains which detail is letting water through.
Putnoe and Brickhill add twentieth century tiled housing with ageing eaves felt and garages that need separate attention. For your Putnoe garage, Adam examines the deck, perimeter trim and outlet beneath the main house roof. On Brickhill's tiled slopes, he checks the eaves felt and gutter alignment together to establish where runoff leaves its intended route.
Great Denham and Wixams bring newer roof assemblies with their own handover information, ventilation details and warranty cover. Adam checks these before planning alterations to your home. The installation record helps him compare the intended construction with your roof, then describe the proposed work in writing.
Bedford's river setting does not explain how rain reaches your ceiling, so Adam traces it from the covering through the outlets and downpipes. He photographs the relevant junction. Your written quote connects that finding to a particular repair, including its access and materials, before work starts.
The useful question is how much of your existing roof can stay. Sound tiles are a different issue from failed supporting timber or worn membrane, so Adam separates them in your quote. On the Leighton Buzzard re-roof, existing tiles were reused over TLX Gold.
For your roof, Adam photographs the condition he can inspect and explains the proposed scope in writing. If the faults are confined to one area, he explains the repair option alongside replacement. You then choose with the roof components in view, including battens, ventilation, flashing and ridge details, rather than judging from a distant photograph.
What the work includes
- Specify timber repairs, breathable membrane, battens and eaves trays.
- Detail lead flashing, ventilation, dry ridge and dry verge systems.
- Strip the agreed roof area and inspect exposed rafters.
- Relay sound tiles or fit the agreed tiles or slate.

Customer reviews
Adam was great to communicate with, turned up when he said he would to quote. A storm delayed the start of work, but we were kept informed. Roof cleaned, gutters facia and soffits replaced, solar panels pigeon proofed.
When estimating they were the only ones to actually inspect the roof! Provided photos and full explanation of the rework required to resolve the issue. Carried out the repair as planned, when planned with minimal disruption and no damage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business.
Excellent, job was done well without too much distraction as I work from home, job came in under quote - 11/10

How much does a new roof cost?
Your written quote sets out the inspected scope, access and materials. Adam photographs the covering and supporting layers, then identifies the retained tiles, timber repairs, membrane, ventilation and junction work included in your replacement price.
