Dealing with Damp or Structural Damage?
South Wales homes — especially older properties — often suffer from hidden damage under the roofline. We’re experienced in identifying and repairing:
- Rotten timbers and sagging rafters
- Poor ventilation and condensation issues
- Leaks caused by failed flashing or membrane
- Historic water ingress leading to internal damp
We’ll investigate the cause, not just the symptoms — and complete the work to a high standard, making sure your home is watertight and structurally sound.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof needs repairing or replacing?
Look out for missing tiles, leaks, sagging areas, or damp patches in the loft. Flat roofs often show signs of blistering or pooling water. We offer honest inspections — if a repair will do, we’ll say so. If a replacement is the better long-term fix, we’ll explain why.
Can you repair flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?
Yes. We repair and replace both flat and pitched roofs. For flat roofs, we often use rubber membrane systems (EPDM) or high-quality felt — both known for durability and waterproofing. We’ll recommend the best option based on your budget and the building’s use.
Do you work with traditional roofing materials for period properties?
Absolutely. We understand the importance of preserving the look and character of older buildings. Where possible, we repair using reclaimed slate, matching tiles, or compatible timbers — especially when working on listed or heritage properties.
What if you find rotten wood or hidden damage during the job?
We check roof timbers during every re-roof or major repair. If we find rot in rafters, joists, or other structural elements, we’ll discuss the options before carrying out any further work. We’re experienced in replacing and reinforcing roof structures as needed.
Can you help with leaks that appear after heavy rain or storms?
Yes. Sudden leaks often indicate displaced tiles, cracked flashing or damaged felt. We offer responsive patch repair services to get things watertight quickly, with long-term repair or replacement options if needed.
Are you insured and qualified to work on roofs?
Yes. We carry full public liability insurance, and Ian has over 30 years of hands-on trade experience. We also adhere to current health and safety standards and are members of the Federation of Master Builders.
Can you inspect and maintain my roof even if there’s no visible problem?
Definitely. Regular maintenance can prevent small issues from becoming costly problems. We offer roof health checks to identify early signs of wear — ideal for landlords or homeowners wanting peace of mind.
Do you offer guarantees on roofing work?
Yes. All our roofing work is guaranteed. The length and terms vary depending on the type of system installed, but we stand by the quality of our workmanship and materials.
Will my home be exposed to the elements during a re-roof?
No — we plan each stage to minimise disruption and exposure. Roofs are stripped and covered in sections, and we only work when the weather allows for safe, dry progress. We also use protective sheeting as needed.
Can you repair gutters, fascias and soffits as part of the job?
Yes. These elements are often replaced or upgraded during roof work. We install durable, low-maintenance UPVC systems, or can match existing styles on older properties where appropriate.
