Roath is Victorian and Edwardian terrace country, and almost everything is natural slate over timber. The single most common job we do here is nail sickness — the original fixings finally rusting through, so slates start slipping in ones and twos with no storm to blame. The back additions also create valley gutters that silt up and back water into the bedrooms below. Access is the other Roath factor: many of these streets have no rear lane, so scaffolding needs planning.
In and around Roath we regularly work in Roath Park, Albany Road, Wellfield Road, Penylan and the surrounding streets.
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.
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.
Complex roofs with valleys, dormers and multiple stacks, often in natural slate or handmade clay tile. More detail means more places to fail, and leadwork tends to be the weak point rather than the covering.
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.
No. Roath is well inside our normal working area — we’re based in St Mellons in Cardiff and it is about 15 minutes away. There is no call-out fee and no travel charge, and the quote is free whether you go ahead or not.
For a genuine emergency we aim to be with you the same day, and we answer the phone 24 hours. Ring 029 2010 0576 — during a storm we’ll tell you honestly where you are in the queue and what to do meanwhile.
All of them. Roath has a mix of victorian and edwardian terraces and larger detached and period properties, and we work on natural slate, fibre cement, clay and concrete tile, plus flat roofs in GRP, EPDM and felt.
