Roofers in Kempston, on the south-west edge of Bedford and twenty miles up the A6 from our Luton office. Reliable Roofers Ltd repairs and replaces roofs across Kempston's Victorian streets, its 1930s and post-war estates and the new houses at Kempston Hardwick and Wixams, with a written price before any work starts.
Kempston is really two places. Up-End and the streets off Bedford Road and High Street are Victorian, built for the brickworks and the railway, with slate roofs on terraces and semis that have now reached the nail-sick stage. The rest, from the 1930s Cutcliffe estate through the post-war houses around Hillgrounds and Halsey Road to the 1970s and 1980s estates, is concrete interlocking tile on hipped and gabled roofs, with flat-roofed garages between them.
The Stewartby brickworks chimneys have gone but the clay is still under the ground, and the older cottages in Kempston Rural, Wootton and Stewartby carry local clay tiles. Great Denham and Wixams are new-build, with the dry verge and ridge faults that come up a few years after the developer has left.
Kempston is worked with Bedford, so a slate repair in Up-End and a re-roof in Hillgrounds can be seen on the same day, and we cover Wootton, Stewartby, Bromham, Biddenham and Elstow with it.
