Roofing across Luton and Bedfordshire
How local roofs are built, why they fail, and what putting them right involves.

In brief
About this guide
Roofs in this part of Bedfordshire cover a lot of ground: Victorian terraces in Luton, postwar semis in Dunstable, and older stone and clay-tiled homes out towards Leighton Buzzard. What keeps one weathertight isn't always what suits the next.
We write about the practical side of it. How a pitched roof is layered, what separates EPDM from fibreglass on a flat roof, how a leak gets traced back to its actual source rather than the spot where the water shows up inside.
The idea is to help you understand what you're looking at before anyone climbs a ladder. When you know how the parts fit together, conversations about your own roof get a lot clearer.
