Local context — flat roofing in Dunstable
Flat-roof work in Dunstable (LU5) is dominated by single-storey rear extensions, garage roofs, dormer cheeks and porch roofs. Dunstable is directly below the Chiltern escarpment — wind uplift on ridge tiles is the dominant failure pattern and mechanical dry-ridge is essential on every LU5 reroof. For new flat roofs notifiable to Central Bedfordshire Council we provide the system spec, U-value calculation and fire-class evidence as standard — not an extra.
We work across LU5, LU6 with easy access from M1 Junction 11 and A5.

Local knowledge counts. We know the housing stock in Dunstable — what the original roof detailing looks like, what tends to fail, and which materials match best. That means a more reliable repair, a longer-lasting reroof and a quote you can trust.
Frequently asked — Flat Roofing in Dunstable
EPDM rubber or felt — which is better?+
For most extensions in Dunstable we recommend single-ply EPDM rubber: one-piece installation, 25+ year life and no seams to fail. Torch-on felt is still the right call for some applications and budgets.
How long does a flat roof last?+
A properly installed EPDM rubber flat roof in Dunstable should give 25-30 years; high-performance torch-on felt 15-20 years.
Can you overlay my existing flat roof?+
Sometimes — only if the deck and existing covering are sound. We'll always inspect and recommend a strip-and-refresh where overlay would just store up problems.
Can you insulate during a flat-roof renewal?+
Yes — a warm-roof build-up with 100mm+ PIR insulation transforms an old extension's energy performance and is now standard under Part L for notifiable jobs.
How quickly can you fix a leaking flat roof in LU5?+
Emergency patch repairs in LU5 are usually a same-week visit. We tarpaulin if needed, then quote properly for a long-term fix.
