The roofs we see most in Dunstable
Dunstable's housing stock is dominated by interwar and post-war development, from long runs of 1930s semis through to the estates built out in the 1960s and 70s. Most of those were covered in concrete interlocking tiles, and a great many are now at the point where the covering has outlived the felt and battens underneath it.
The pattern is consistent: the tiles still look serviceable from the pavement, but the bituminous felt beneath has gone brittle and torn at the eaves, so wind-driven rain gets past. That is a re-roof rather than a repair, and it is the single most common survey outcome we record here.
Sitting below the Downs, this is also an exposed spot. Ridge tiles bedded in mortar decades ago work loose in high winds, and we are called out to loose and slipped ridges across the town after every serious storm.

On roofs of this age it is almost always the felt underneath. Concrete tiles outlast the bituminous felt beneath them by decades, and once that felt tears at the eaves, driving rain gets past a covering that still looks sound from the ground.
Yes. Both are a short distance from our base near Dunstable, and we work across them regularly, along with Toddington and the villages around Dunstable.
