Roofing in Canton
Canton is dense Victorian terracing with slate roofs and a chimney stack on nearly every party wall. Those stacks are the source of most of the leaks we get called to here — perished flashing and open mortar joints letting water track down inside the breast. A lot of Canton roofs have also been patched repeatedly over the decades, so it is worth knowing whether you are looking at another repair or a re-roof.
In and around Canton we regularly work in Cowbridge Road East, Victoria Park, Pontcanna and the surrounding streets.
What Canton roofs are built like
Knowing the era tells you most of what you need to know about how a roof will fail
— and what it will cost to put right.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Natural slate on timber rafters, shared party walls, and a chimney stack every few houses. Typical problems are nail sickness — the original iron fixings finally corroding through, so slates slip one after another — failed stack flashing, and valley gutters between the back additions that block and back up.
What we do in Canton
Why use a local firm
We’re a Cardiff company, not a national lead-generation site that sells your details on.
When you ring, you speak to the people who will be on your roof. That means straight answers
about what your roof actually needs, a written price before anyone lifts a slate, and someone
who can be back if something isn’t right.
