What 5-star means to us

Five stars is not about luck. It is the result of a simple promise kept on every job: do what we said we would do, to the standard we agreed, and tidy up properly. Customers tell us they value the following most:

• Fast responses for leaks, storm damage, and urgent issues, often same day or next day.
• Owner involvement. Luke checks quality, safety, and finish on works in progress and at handover.
• Plain English advice. We show photos, explain causes, and outline options before you decide.
• Work done to manufacturer guidance and industry best practice, not shortcuts.
• Respect for your home. Protection, tidy sites, and careful disposal are built into our method.
• Aftercare that answers the phone. If you need us, we come back.

From first call to aftercare

1. Quick contact – Call 07311091804 or email sales@miltonkeynesroofing.uk. We gather a few details and plan a convenient visit. Urgent leak or storm damage? We aim for same day or next day attendance where possible.
2. Inspection – Visual checks from the ground, at roof level, and from the loft where accessible. We can use drones when it is the safest option and airspace rules allow.
3. Diagnosis – We identify the root cause, not just the symptom. Expect photos and a simple summary of what is wrong and what will put it right.
4. Options and quote – Itemised quote with options by material and lifespan so you can balance budget and durability. Timing, access, and protection are included in writing.
5. Scheduling and prep – We agree dates, scaffolding or access, delivery, and protection for gardens, driveways, and interiors where needed.
6. Works – Trained roofers complete the agreed scope to best practice. We keep you updated as we go and tidy the site throughout.
7. Quality checks – Final inspection by Luke or a senior roofer. We walk you through the result with photos and care advice.
8. Handover – You receive written details of the work done, product info, and any applicable guarantees.
9. Aftercare – We check you are happy and resolve snags quickly if they arise.

Workmanship standards that last

Good roofing saves money by preventing repeat issues. Our standards are designed for longevity, safety, and compliance with UK conditions.

Pitched roofs: tiles and slate

• Battens graded and sized to BS 5534 with correct fixings and spacing.
• Breathable underlay installed with proper laps, drape, and eaves support trays.
• Correct headlap for the tile or slate type, secured to manufacturer guidance.
• Ridge and hip systems mechanically fixed with ventilation where required.
• Verges finished with secure dry systems or neat wet work where specified.
• Lead flashing formed to the right code with joints for thermal movement.

Flat roofs: EPDM, GRP, torch-on felt, single ply

• Substrate checked and prepared for a clean, dry, level base.
• Falls created to avoid ponding. Drains and outlets correctly detailed.
• Perimeters and penetrations finished with manufacturers own trims and accessories.
• Fire performance considered for proximity to boundaries and openings, with Broof(t4) systems where required.

Ventilation and moisture control

• Ventilation balanced to manage condensation risk in line with BS 5250 principles.
• Breather membranes used appropriately and not relied on as a standalone ventilation strategy when it is not suitable.

Roofline, skylights, and details

• Fascia and soffits fixed securely with correct spacing, tidy joints, and adequate ventilation.
• Gutters set to suitable falls with sealed joints and outlets that actually drain to where they should.
• Skylights and roof windows fitted per manufacturer instructions with insulation and weathering to prevent cold bridges and leaks.
• Chimneys repointed, reflashed, or rebuilt with attention to lead codes, trays, and weep vents.

Safety and site care

• Risk assessments and method statements where appropriate.
• Scaffolding and edge protection arranged where needed.
• Waste removed under Duty of Care with disposal receipts available.

Materials and systems we trust

We source from established manufacturers with proven systems and clear guidance. It is not just about the product name. Correct installation is what protects your home.

• Tiles and slates – Clay, concrete, and natural slate selected to suit pitch, exposure, and look of the property. Fixing schedules followed for the wind zone.
• EPDM – Durable, low maintenance single piece membranes where possible, with proper adhesive systems and trims for a neat finish.
• GRP – Cold applied systems with compatible resins and topcoats, laid in the right conditions for a pinhole free finish.
• Torch-on felt – Multi layer systems installed by trained roofers with full bonding and correct lap widths.
• Leadwork – Right code for the job, correct lap, welt, and expansion detailing to avoid cracking or creep.

If you want us to match existing materials or advise on a better lifespan to budget balance, we will show you options and explain the trade offs clearly.

Building Regulations and compliance

Roofing often triggers parts of the Building Regulations. We advise you if approvals are needed and help you through the process. Typical areas include:

• Part A – Structure – We consider structural load if changing tile type or adding weight, and we highlight any timber issues found during strip.
• Part B – Fire safety – Appropriate fire performance for flat roofs near boundaries or openings, including Broof(t4) where required.
• Part C – Resistance to moisture – Weathering details and moisture management to prevent water ingress and damp.
• Part F – Ventilation – Sufficient airflow to prevent condensation, particularly on insulated or converted lofts.
• Part L – Energy efficiency – If more than 25 percent of the roof is refurbished, insulation upgrades are usually required. We will advise and install to the current standard.

We also coordinate with Building Control when needed and provide photo evidence of the build-up to make inspections smooth and straightforward.

Questions about compliance or insulation upgrades? Call 07311091804 and we will walk you through what applies to your project.

Clear quotes and fair pricing

Our quotes are itemised and easy to understand. You will see what is included, how we will access the roof, what protection we will use, how we will handle waste, and the expected timescales. We often present options so you can choose the right balance of lifespan and cost:

• Good – Cost effective materials with solid performance for the expected lifespan.
• Better – Upgraded products or systems for improved durability and finish.
• Best – Premium systems for maximum lifespan and aesthetics.

If we uncover hidden defects such as rotten timbers, we will show you photos, explain the risk, and agree any variation in writing before we proceed. No surprises.

Communication, cleanliness, respect

• Daily updates – You will know what is happening next and when.
• Property protection – Driveways, gardens, and interiors protected where needed. We treat your home like our own.
• Considerate working – Thoughtful access and timing, mindful of neighbours and shared spaces.
• Clean as we go – We tidy daily and remove all waste responsibly.
• Proof of finish – Before and after photos and documentation so you can see what you paid for.

Local expertise around Milton Keynes

Being local helps. We know the building styles, exposures, and weather patterns across MK and nearby towns, and we stock materials accordingly for faster turnarounds. Areas we work in include:

• Milton Keynes, Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell, Bletchley, Great Linford, Bradwell
• Northampton, Bedford, Luton, and surrounding villages

From tiled semis in Bletchley to slate in Newport Pagnell and modern EPDM extensions across MK estates, we tailor methods to the property. When high winds pick up or heavy rain tests older detailing, we know what usually fails and how to put it right for good.

Mini case studies

Bletchley – same day leak made safe

Problem – Wind displacement of ridge tiles caused a leak over the landing.

Action – Same day attendance. Temporary waterproofing fitted. Later, ridge re-bedded with a mechanical system and damaged underlay replaced. Photos supplied at each stage.

Result – No further ingress. Customer praised speed, clarity, and tidy work.

Newport Pagnell – pitched re-roof with ventilation upgrade

Problem – Ageing concrete tiles, poor ventilation, repeated minor leaks.

Action – Full strip. Breathable membrane and graded battens to BS 5534, new tiles with vented ridge system to improve airflow.

Result – Warmer, drier loft space and a neat, durable finish. Customer appreciated the daily updates and site cleanliness.

Bedford – EPDM flat roof with improved drainage

Problem – Felt blistering and ponding around roof penetrations.

Action – Substrate repairs and formed falls to outlets, single piece EPDM with compatible trims, attention to fire performance near boundary.
