Roofing Services in Dunstable
Roof repairs, new roofs and roof replacement for homeowners in Dunstable — from a single slipped tile to a complete re-roof.
Elgar Roof covers Dunstable and its neighbours — the old market-town core along High Street North and South, the interwar and post-war estates around it, and out towards Houghton Regis, Kensworth and Totternhoe.
Roofing on the edge of the Downs
Dunstable sits hard against the Chiltern scarp, and the weather notices: wind coming over the Downs works on ridge lines, verges and anything mortar-bedded harder than it does a few miles east. That shows in the jobs — re-bedded ridges, slipped tiles after named storms, and gutters asked to cope with rain arriving sideways. The housing is mostly interwar and post-war family stock in clay and concrete tile, with an older core along the crossroads where clay-tiled and slated roofs deserve matching materials rather than the nearest thing on the van.
What we do in Dunstable
Roof repairs — including ridge work and storm damage, both regulars here — re-roofing and new roofs, flat roofing, chimneys and leadwork, and fascias, soffits, guttering and dry verge. Dry-fix ridge and verge systems earn their keep in exposed spots like this: no mortar to weather out, nothing for the wind to work loose.
