Local context — new roofs & reroofs in St Albans
Reroofs in St Albans are notifiable to St Albans City and District 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. St Albans has one of the most active conservation-area regimes in the region — the Roman city, cathedral precinct and Fishpool Street conservation areas all require pre-app consultation for any external roof change, and we handle those submissions. Access typically comes off M1 Junctions 6/7 so we coordinate scaffold and skip delivery to minimise disruption.
We work across AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4 with easy access from M1 Junctions 6/7 and M25 Junctions 21A/22.

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