Roofing in Llanishen
Llanishen runs from 1930s semis near the station up to larger post-war and 1960s housing towards Thornhill. Plenty of hipped tile roofs with mortar ridges, and a good number of flat-roofed extensions and garages from the sixties and seventies that are due their next covering. Being higher up, it also catches more wind than the centre of the city.
In and around Llanishen we regularly work in Llanishen Reservoir, Fidlas Road, Thornhill, Lisvane and the surrounding streets.
What Llanishen 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.
1930s semi-detached houses
Hipped roofs in clay or early concrete tile, deep eaves and generous timber roofline. The usual issues are mortar-bedded ridge and hip tiles losing their pointing, tired verges on the gable end, and the original timber fascias finally rotting behind the gutters.
Post-war and 1960s–70s estates
Interlocking concrete tiles, simple gable roofs and, very often, a flat-roofed garage or rear extension. The tiles themselves last well but shed their surface with age, and the flat roofs are usually on their second or third covering by now.
