Local context — new roofs & reroofs in Downley
Reroofs in Downley are notifiable to Buckinghamshire 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. Properties around the Common back onto National Trust land and have restricted skip and scaffold access from the rear — we plan front-of-property loading at quote stage to avoid surprises. Access typically comes off Plomer Hill so we coordinate scaffold and skip delivery to minimise disruption.
We work across HP13 with easy access from Plomer Hill and Coates Lane.

Frequently asked — New Roofs & Reroofs in Downley
How long does a reroof take in Downley?+
A typical semi-detached reroof in Downley 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 Downley 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 Downley we'll discuss insulation upgrades to current Part L standards — most older roofs gain serious thermal performance from a properly specified upgrade.
Do you remove the old roof in one go?+
We strip in manageable sections, never the whole roof in one hit. The property stays watertight every night, even if the weather turns.
Can I stay in the house during a reroof in Downley?+
Yes — almost every reroof we do in Downley is on occupied homes. We sheet up internally where needed, work weather-dependent days and keep the property watertight overnight.
