Before you ask
Questions people ask
Why is your quote longer than the others I have had?
Because we list everything: scaffold, materials, skip, membrane, lead and welfare. You can see what you are paying for and compare it line by line.
Do I need to tell the council about a new roof in Kempston?
Replacing more than a quarter of a roof is notifiable to Building Control. We arrange the inspection and the sign-off for you as part of the job.
Can you top up my loft insulation while the roof is off?
Yes. It is the easiest time to do it. We can top it up to 300mm or more, and it is listed as its own line on the quote.
Ready when you are
It takes about 30 seconds to ask, and you are not committing to anything.

Getting quotes for a new roof in Kempston
Kempston runs straight into Bedford's south-west side, so it is one of the shortest trips we make. If you are pricing a new roof here, you will probably get two or three quotes. They can be hard to compare, because one roofer gives a single figure and another gives a page of detail. This page explains what should be in a re-roof quote, so you can judge ours, and anyone else's, fairly.
Six questions to ask any roofer
- Is the scaffold included? It is a big part of the cost and should be on the quote, not added later.
- What goes under the tiles? Ask for the membrane by name. We use BBA-approved breathable membranes, and TLX Gold insulated membrane where it suits the house.
- Are the battens new and treated? Reusing old battens saves money now and causes slipped tiles later.
- How are the ridge and verges fixed? A dry ridge and dry verge system has no mortar to crack.
- Who arranges Building Control? Replacing more than a quarter of a roof needs it. We arrange the inspection and sign-off.
- Where does the old roof go? The skip should be on the quote too.
What our quotes itemise
Customers often tell us our quote was the most detailed they had. That is on purpose. A typical re-roof quote from us lists:
- Scaffold, put up and taken down
- Stripping and disposal, with the skip
- Membrane, battens and counter-battens
- The tiles or slates, with ridge, verge and eaves details
- Lead to chimneys and abutments where needed
- Loft insulation top-up to 300mm or more, if you want it
- Welfare on site, down to a portable toilet on a bigger job
One customer in the Bedford area said we kept our word and did exactly what the written quote said. That is the whole idea.
Kempston houses
Kempston has a real mix, from older terraces towards the Bedford side to post-war semis and newer estates further out. On the older houses we look at matching slate or tile to the street. On post-war houses, it is usually the original felt that has failed. On newer ones, it is often a detail like the verge.
Every new roof comes with a written company guarantee. If you have any problems, we come back and fix the fault.
