Roof repairs in Luton and across Bedfordshire, priced before we start. Slipped and broken tiles, leaking valleys, cracked flashings, loose ridge tiles, storm damage and the leak nobody else could find. Reliable Roofers Ltd comes out, finds the actual cause, and fixes that, not the symptom.
Most roof leaks are small. A tile slips because the nib has broken, a lead valley has split along a fold, the mortar has fallen out of a ridge, or the flashing where the roof meets the chimney has pulled away from the brickwork. Water gets in at that one point, runs along the felt and shows up on a ceiling two rooms away. Finding the real entry point is the skill; fixing it is usually quick.
We repair every kind of pitched roof found around Luton and Bedfordshire: clay plain tile roofs on the older terraces, concrete interlocking tiles on the post-war estates, Welsh slate on the Victorian villas, and the hipped, valleyed and dormered roofs of the 1930s semis. We carry the common tiles on the van and can source discontinued patterns for a match.
If a roof is beyond sensible repair we will say so, show you why, and quote a new roof instead. We do both, so we have no reason to push you either way.

A photo of the roof and of the damp patch inside tells us a lot. For most repairs we can give a price range straight away.
We look at the roof from a ladder or the scaffold and inside the loft, and find the entry point rather than guessing.
You get a written price before any work. Most repairs are done the same visit or within days.
We photograph the repair so you can see what was done without going up a ladder.
The two reviews on Google at the time of writing are both repairs: broken tiles that kept falling onto a driveway, fixed the day the customer rang, and a leak sorted the next day. That is the job, most weeks.
Small repairs such as a few slipped tiles or a re-bedded ridge tile are usually priced as a fixed call-out plus materials. Larger repairs such as a new lead valley or a chimney re-flash are quoted after we have looked. We always give the price in writing before we start.
Usually, yes. We look from inside the loft as well as from the roof, and we check the boring things first: laps in the felt, nail holes, cracked tiles near valleys and the back of chimneys. Water rarely enters where the stain is.
Yes. See our emergency roofing page. We make the roof safe and weathertight first, then price the permanent repair.
We carry the common Bedfordshire tiles and can source reclaimed or discontinued patterns. A close match is normal; an exact match on a 70-year-old weathered roof is not always possible, and we will tell you if that is the case.
If the felt and timbers are sound and the problem is local, yes, a repair is far cheaper than a new roof and will last. If the felt has gone and tiles are failing across the whole roof, repairs become a subscription. We will tell you which you have.
Yes. Felt, GRP and EPDM flat roof repairs are on our flat roofs page.
