Roofing in Milton Keynes
Housing built from the 1970s onwards, with flat roofs and conservatories now reaching the age where they need replacing rather than repairing.
A young housing stock hitting its first major roof work
Milton Keynes was designated a new town in 1967, so most of its housing is younger than the rest of our area. That does not mean the roofs are trouble-free; it means they are hitting their first significant roofing work now, and often all at once across a grid square.
Flat and shallow-pitched roofs were used widely in the original development, on the houses themselves as well as on garages and links between buildings. Many were originally felt, and felt of that generation has long since reached the end of its service life. Re-covering them in a modern single ply or EPDM system, with the fall corrected, is a large part of what we do here.
Conservatories are the other constant. The estates built through the 1980s and 90s acquired conservatories in enormous numbers, and those polycarbonate roofs are now at the point where replacement with a solid insulated roof makes the room usable again.

Milton Keynes questions
Coverings and underlays have different lifespans. A concrete tile may have decades left while the felt and battens beneath it are finished, and flat roofs of that era were built with materials that have long since passed their service life. Age of the house is not the test; condition of the components is.
