Slate & Tile Roofing Specialists in Aberdare
The Cynon Valley is slate country. From the terraces of Aberaman and Trecynon to family homes in Cwmbach and Llwydcoed, most roofs here are slate or concrete tile - and after decades of valley weather, most of them need attention sooner or later.
The slates themselves often outlive everything around them. It is usually the nails, battens or mortar that give up first, which is why slipped slates keep coming back if the underlying cause is never dealt with.
We diagnose the actual problem before quoting – a genuine repair where a repair will last, and honest advice when it will not. As the local roofer Aberdare homeowners rely on, we will never sell you a re-roof you do not need.

Signs Your Slate or Tile Roof Needs Attention
Spotted early, most of these are quick, affordable repairs. Ignored, they let water into the roof timbers.
Slipped or Missing Slates
Gaps where slates have slipped or blown off let water straight into the roof.
Nail Fatigue
When slates keep slipping across the roof, the original fixings have reached the end of their life.
Cracked or Broken Tiles
Frost and impact damage crack tiles and let water through to the felt beneath.
Crumbling Ridge Mortar
Loose mortar on ridges and verges drops into gutters and leaves tiles unsecured.
Leaking Valleys
Wear and debris in roof valleys channel water under the slates instead of into the gutter.
Daylight in the Loft
If you can see daylight through the roof from inside, water is getting in too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about slate and tile roofing in Aberdare.
Can you match the slates on my Aberdare terrace?
Almost always – we source reclaimed Welsh slate and matching tiles so repairs blend in rather than shout. On older Cynon Valley terraces that matters for the whole street’s look.
Why do my slates keep slipping?
Usually nail fatigue – the decades-old nails rust through while the slate itself is still good. One or two slips is a repair; slips appearing all over the roof means re-fixing or re-slating is the honest answer.
Is Welsh slate worth repairing rather than replacing?
Yes – good Welsh slate can last well over 100 years. If the slate is sound we reuse it, which keeps costs down and keeps the roof looking right.
Do you fix storm damage on slate roofs?
Yes – it is one of our most common winter jobs in the valley. We make the roof safe quickly and can provide photos and reports for your insurer.
How much do slate roof repairs cost in Aberdare?
A few slipped slates is a small, affordable job; costs rise mainly with access and scaffold. Every quote is free, written and itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
