How do I know if I need a new roof?

Book Adam to inspect the covering and supporting layers. Repeated leaks need an explanation of the cause before you agree to replacement.

Can you reuse my existing roof tiles?

Yes, sound tiles were reused on the Leighton Buzzard re-roof over TLX Gold. Adam checks your tiles before specifying reuse.

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.

Does a new roof include new rafters?

Rafter replacement is specified from their condition. Adam identifies your timber work separately from membrane, battens and covering.

Who will inspect and quote for my roof?

Adam Lee quotes every job. You receive photographs and a written explanation with the quote.

What guarantee comes with the work?

A 10-year workmanship guarantee on all work. Stormshield is fully insured, and you receive daily progress updates with photos and videos.

New roofs in Dunstable

On a Dunstable roof that has been re-covered once already, a replacement is the chance to check whether the rafters suit the tile weight before you choose slate, clay or concrete.

Dunstable's conservation appraisal records original slate roofs replaced with concrete tiles, changing both their appearance and the load carried by the structure. Adam checks your installed covering before proposing another change. On an older house, he looks for movement and examines the timber beneath, then photographs the findings for your written repair explanation.

Beyond the central crossroads, interwar and postwar streets bring tiled semis, bungalows and garage additions with their own recurring faults. Adam checks your eaves felt, ridge bedding and extension junctions together. A leak where the addition meets the house receives a traced diagnosis, with the damaged component identified before the repair is priced.

Rising chalk ground towards Dunstable Downs and Kensworth leaves some properties facing open land, making exposure part of your inspection after wind driven rain. Adam examines verge security and flashing closely. For central buildings, he also establishes the material match and working space beside neighbouring premises, so your quotation accounts for the practical work required.

West of the town, Totternhoe sits below the chalk of Totternhoe Knolls, where the soft building stone known as Totternhoe clunch was quarried for centuries. Older cottages there combine clunch, brick, clay tiles and slate, so Adam checks the wall tops, chimney stacks and lead junctions as carefully as the covering itself, and photographs each one for your quote.

Adam sets out your replacement roof from the rafters upwards. Your specification identifies timber work, breathable membrane, batten replacement and the chosen covering, with the junctions at walls and chimneys explained alongside them. Eaves trays, roof vents and a dry ridge system belong in that discussion alongside the visible tiles.

Our re-roof work includes rafters, membrane, battens, tiles and ventilation. TLX Gold is specifically evidenced on the Leighton Buzzard project, rather than assumed for every roof. Adam explains the proposed build-up for your home so you can see what is being replaced and what remains in place.
