Local roofing challenge — Luton Borough Council has one of the fastest building-notice turnarounds in the region — typically 3-4 working days — and we build that responsiveness into programme dates for LU work.
On the ground — LU1 Victorian terraces along Wellington Street and Castle Street share party-wall stacks in soft London-stock brick — most are past repointing and we quote stack rebuild with neighbour agreement.
Microclimate — Luton sits in the Lea valley — ground humidity is significant and airborne pollution from the M1 and airport corridor accelerates soiling on light-coloured concrete tile.
Site access — LU1-LU4 is a 25-mile run from HP13 — we batch Luton work with Dunstable or Harpenden in programme weeks.
