Roofing in Cranfield

Out along the A421

Cranfield is about twenty minutes west of Bedford, out past the Marston Vale. It is part of MK43, and MK43 is where we have done more work than almost anywhere else: re-roofs, repairs and a good number of spray foam removals across the villages.

A village with a university next door

Cranfield is best known for its university and airfield, and the village has grown a lot around them. You will find older brick cottages, postwar houses and bungalows, and newer estates on the edges. Each brings its own jobs:

• older cottages where the battens have rotted and the felt has gone, and a strip-and-relay is the honest fix
• postwar roofs on original underlay that is now tearing and letting damp into the loft
• newer homes with loose ridge tiles, cracked verge mortar or gutters that overflow in heavy rain

Spray foam that is stopping a sale

Many homes around here had spray foam put on the underside of the roof, and mortgage lenders and surveyors now often refuse it. We remove it carefully, check the timbers underneath, and leave the loft clean. If you have solar panels, we can arrange an electrician to disconnect and reconnect them safely. One customer told us her surveyor commented on the quality of the job afterwards.

Every job starts the same way: we look, take photos, and give you a written quote with every item listed. Where a re-roof needs Building Control sign-off, we arrange the inspection. With the roof open, it is also a good time to top up the loft insulation.
