Complete Re-Roofs Done Properly in Aberdare
Many Aberdare roofs are original to houses built a century or more ago. When slates slip faster than they can be fixed and every storm claims a few more, a strip and re-tile stops the cycle for good - one investment instead of an endless string of repairs.
A proper re-roof is mostly about what you never see: the breathable membrane that keeps wind-driven rain out, the treated battens everything hangs on, and the timber repairs done while the roof is open. Skimp there and the prettiest new tiles will not save you.
We strip and re-cover in sections so your home is never left open to the weather, and we agree any timber work with you before it happens. It is the biggest job a roofer in Aberdare can do on your home – and the one where choosing carefully matters most.
What Our Re-Roofs Include
Everything from the timbers up - specified in writing before we start.
Full Strip-Off
Old coverings stripped and cleared away, with salvageable slate set aside.
Timber Inspection & Repair
Rafters and boards checked while the roof is open - agreed with you before any extra work.
Breathable Membrane
Modern membrane that keeps wind-driven valley rain out while letting the roof breathe.
New Treated Battens
Graded, treated battens fixed to spec - the skeleton every slate hangs on.
Slate or Tile Covering
Reclaimed Welsh slate, new slate or interlocking tiles - matched to your home and budget.
Dry Ridge & Verge
Mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems - no mortar to crack and drop out.
Leadwork & Flashings
Chimney and abutment lead renewed while everything is accessible.
Insulation Upgrades
The ideal moment to bring loft insulation up to modern standards.

Signs a Re-Roof Beats Another Repair
One repair is a repair. This pattern is a roof asking to be renewed.
Repairs Every Year
When the roofer is out every winter, the fixings have failed roof-wide.
Slates Slipping All Over
Widespread slipping means nail fatigue - refixing one slate just queues up the next.
Sagging Roofline
A dip in the ridge or plane usually points to tired timbers underneath.
Rotten Battens
Slates pulling free with the nail still attached mean the batten has gone.
No Underfelt
Many older valley roofs have nothing under the slates - one slip is an instant leak.
Daylight & Draughts in the Loft
Light and wind in the loft mean the covering no longer seals the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about re-roofing in Aberdare.
How long does a re-roof take in Aberdare?
A typical valley terrace or semi takes one to two weeks depending on size, weather windows and any timber repairs found once the roof is open. We give you a realistic programme with the quote.
Will my house be open to the rain during the work?
No – we strip and re-cover in sections and sheet everything down overnight. Your home is never left exposed, whatever the forecast does.
Can you reuse my existing Welsh slate?
Wherever it is sound, yes – reusing good slate keeps costs down and the character intact, and we blend in matching reclaimed slate for the shortfall.
What is included in your re-roof quote?
Everything, itemised: strip-off and disposal, membrane, battens, covering, ridge and verge systems, leadwork, scaffold access and an allowance approach for timber repairs agreed before any extra work.
Do I need planning permission to re-roof my house?
Usually not for like-for-like re-roofing. Building regulations can apply to full re-covers and we handle the notifications where needed.
Which areas do you cover?
