Roofing in Newport
Newport is a straight run east along the A48 or M4 and we cover the whole city. The stock is broad — Victorian terraces in Maindee and Pill, inter-war semis through Allt-yr-yn and Malpas, and large post-war estates around the edges. Slate on the older stock, concrete tile on the newer, and the usual pattern of tired ridge mortar and perished stack flashing.
In and around Newport we regularly work in Maindee, Caerleon, Rogerstone, Bassaleg, Malpas and the surrounding streets.
What Newport 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.
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.
