Flat roof work in Dunstable: replacement and repair in torch-on felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, from Reliable Roofers Ltd five miles away in Luton. Rotten decking replaced, falls corrected, edges and upstands finished properly, rooflights and lanterns built in, priced in writing before we start.
Dunstable's post-war estates came with flat-roofed garages, and the rear extensions added since the 1970s to the semis around Priory, Northfields and Beecroft are nearly all flat too. Most were felted once and never again, and the wind that comes over the Downs lifts old felt at the edges and drives rain under it. When we strip them the chipboard deck is usually soft and the insulation, where there is any, is wet.
We replace the deck and the covering together, with the falls corrected so water reaches the outlet, insulation where the room below is heated, and felt, GRP or EPDM depending on the roof. Edge trims are mechanically fixed rather than glued, because glued trims are what the wind takes first in Dunstable. A garage is normally a day; an extension one to three days.

Tell us what the roof is doing. A photo of the outside and of any damp inside is usually enough for a price range.
We find the cause, not the stain, and tell you whether it is a repair or a replacement.
Itemised, with materials named and dates set. Nothing starts until you have it.
Our own team does the work, photographs each stage and leaves the site clean.
Any of the three when the edges are fixed properly. We use mechanically fixed trims and bonded systems so the wind has nothing to get hold of.
Usually, yes, for a single garage in felt or EPDM.
Yes. Lanterns and flat rooflights are built in and sealed as part of the job.
If you are replacing the roof over a heated room, building regulations generally require insulation to be upgraded. A warm roof puts the insulation on top of the deck under the covering. We build to the regulations and advise on whether building control needs to be notified.
Yes. We build the upstand, fit the lantern or rooflight and seal it into the roof covering. Several of the flat roofs on this page have them.
