What we get called to most.
Bedford has a lot of older housing, and older roofs fail in predictable places. A good share of our inspections here end with us telling someone their roof is sound, and to call us again in a couple of years.
When work is needed, it's usually the ridge, the chimney, a valley, or the felt under the bottom row of tiles. Extensions and garages on old felt flat roofs come up a lot too.
And more of our damp call-outs in Bedford trace back to gutters than to roofs. On older solid-wall houses, water down the brickwork reaches the inside quickly.
What we fix most in Bedford
- Loose ridge tilesThe most common repair we do, and the one with a real safety risk in a gale.
- Chimney flashing and pointingBehind a large share of upstairs damp in older homes.
- Failed valleysWhere two slopes meet, so the leak often shows well inside the house.
- Torn felt at the eavesDamp in the loft with no damage you can see from outside.
- Old felt flat roofsExtensions, garages and dormers with water standing on them.
What we usually tell people they don't need
This is the more useful half. Be wary of anyone who sells you these without a good reason.
Moss removal, most of the time
Moss usually looks worse than it is. Pressure washing a roof can do more damage than the moss ever did.
A full re-roof for one leak
If the tiles are sound and one valley has failed, you need a valley repair, not a new roof.
Roof coatings and sealing treatments
Often sold hard to older homeowners. On most roofs they don't solve anything.
