Roofing in Rumney
Rumney is mostly inter-war and post-war housing running up the hill from Newport Road, which means a lot of hipped tile roofs with mortar-bedded ridges. That mortar is the thing that goes — sixty or seventy years of frost and it starts letting go, usually at the hip ends first. It is a cheap job caught early and a much bigger one after a windy winter.
In and around Rumney we regularly work in Rumney Hill, Llanrumney, Newport Road and the surrounding streets.
What Rumney 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.
