Local context — new roofs & reroofs in Berkhamsted
Reroofs in Berkhamsted are notifiable to Dacorum Borough Council under Part L when more than 25% of the roof slope is being recovered — that means insulation usually needs upgrading at the same time. Conservation-area rules run tight along the High Street, Castle Street and the canal-side lanes — Dacorum's conservation officer will refuse concrete substitutes on slate roofs, so we spec Welsh Penrhyn as standard for HP4 heritage work. Access typically comes off A41 so we coordinate scaffold and skip delivery to minimise disruption.
We work across HP4 with easy access from A41 and A4251.

Frequently asked — New Roofs & Reroofs in Berkhamsted
How long does a reroof take in Berkhamsted?+
A typical semi-detached reroof in Berkhamsted takes 4-7 working days; larger detached homes or properties with complex valleys and chimneys take 1-2 weeks.
Do I need scaffolding?+
Yes — every reroof we carry out in Berkhamsted is on full scaffolding for safety and to allow proper detailing at the eaves, verges and chimneys.
Will you upgrade my insulation?+
On any reroof in Berkhamsted we'll discuss insulation upgrades to current Part L standards — most older roofs gain serious thermal performance from a properly specified upgrade.
What underlay do you use?+
Standard spec is a Class W3 breathable membrane (e.g. Klober Permo Air or equivalent) over treated softwood batten — never bitumen 1F felt, which is now obsolete.
Can you fit Velux windows during the reroof?+
Yes — adding rooflights during a reroof in Berkhamsted is the most cost-effective time to do it. Scaffold's up, the slope's open and the flashings tie in cleanly.
