Local context — new roofs & reroofs in Dunstable
Reroofs in Dunstable are notifiable to Central Bedfordshire 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. 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. Access typically comes off M1 Junction 11 so we coordinate scaffold and skip delivery to minimise disruption.
We work across LU5, LU6 with easy access from M1 Junction 11 and A5.

Frequently asked — New Roofs & Reroofs in Dunstable
How long does a reroof take in Dunstable?+
A typical semi-detached reroof in Dunstable 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 Dunstable 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 Dunstable 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 Dunstable is the most cost-effective time to do it. Scaffold's up, the slope's open and the flashings tie in cleanly.
