Housing stock — MK2 and MK3 are dominated by 1950s-70s concrete-tile roofs now at reroof age — original Marley Ludlow and Redland Stonewold are the common tiles we're replacing.
Local roofing challenge — Bletchley's post-war housing was built to Milton Keynes Development Corporation specs with tight tolerances on original truss spacing — we survey structural adequacy before quoting full reroofs, as some HP2 spec substitutions won't fit.
On the ground — MK3 estates around Water Eaton were built between 1962 and 1968 to an identical spec — one full reroof survey typically fits the row and we quote batch neighbouring properties for scaffold sharing.
Microclimate — The MK grid roads create wind-tunnel effects on the open Bletchley estates — ridge-tile uplift on isolated detached homes is measurably worse than the older Fenny Stratford village core.
