Roofers in Harpenden, AL5, six miles from our Luton base

Roofers in Harpenden, six miles south of our Luton office down the A1081. Reliable Roofers Ltd repairs and re-roofs the slate, clay-tile and plain-tile roofs of Harpenden's Edwardian and 1930s houses, replaces flat roofs on extensions and garages, and renews chimneys, fascias and guttering, with a written price before any work starts.

Harpenden's houses are bigger, older and more valuable than most of what we roof, and they were built to match: Edwardian villas along Milton Road, Station Road and around Rothamsted with Welsh slate, tall chimneys and ornate ridge tiles; Arts and Crafts and 1930s houses on the Avenues and around East Common with hand-made clay plain tiles, sweeping catslide roofs and dormers; and post-war houses in Southdown and Batford in concrete tiles. Every one of those needs a different tile, a different lap and a different lead detail.

The work we do in Harpenden is mostly the careful kind: re-slating with the original slates sorted and reused, plain-tile repairs matched with reclaimed tiles, lead valleys and chimney flashings on multi-gabled roofs, and dormer cheeks. Conservation area rules apply in the centre and around the commons, and we specify like for like so they are not an issue.

Redbourn, Wheathampstead, Flamstead and Markyate come under our Harpenden run. All of them have village cores with plain-tile and slate cottages and estates of later housing around them.
