Local context — tile & slate roofs in Dunstable
Across Dunstable (LU5, LU6) we work on every type of pitched roof — natural Welsh slate, handmade clay peg-tile, plain clay tile and modern interlocking concrete. 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. Building Control sits with Central Bedfordshire Council, and any full reroof needs a competent-person notification or building notice — we handle the paperwork as part of the quote so the job is signed off properly.
We work across LU5, LU6 with easy access from M1 Junction 11 and A5.

Frequently asked — Tile & Slate Roofs in Dunstable
How much does a new tile roof cost in Dunstable?+
Most reroofs in Dunstable land between £6,000 and £14,000 depending on roof size, complexity and tile type. We provide a free written quote after a proper inspection — no rough phone estimates.
Do you repair single slipped tiles in Dunstable?+
Yes — single tile repairs in Dunstable are usually a same-week call-out. We diagnose the cause (failed nail, slipped batten, ridge issue) rather than just refit the one tile.
Can you match my existing tiles?+
In nearly all cases yes — we hold stock of common clay, concrete and reclaimed tiles and can source most original profiles found on Dunstable properties.
Will you upgrade to a dry-ridge system?+
Yes — on every reroof in LU5 we fit a dry-ridge mechanical fixing system as standard. Mortar-bedded ridges are no longer compliant under BS 5534 and tend to lift in Chiltern winds.
Can you re-bed just my ridge tiles?+
If the tiles themselves are sound, yes. We strip the old mortar, replace the ridge battens where needed and re-bed in a dry-ridge system rather than fresh mortar.
