Complete Strip & Re-Tile Services in Merthyr Tydfil
Many roofs around Merthyr Tydfil - especially the terraces of Dowlais, Penydarren and Troedyrhiw - are still on their original coverings, with felt and battens long past their best. Our strip and re-tile Merthyr Tydfil service takes the roof back to the timbers and rebuilds it properly: new breathable membrane, new treated battens, and slates or tiles that will see out generations.
South Wales weather shows an old roof no mercy. Once the underfelt has perished, every slipped slate lets water straight in; once nail fatigue sets in, slates slide with every gale. There comes a point where repeated repairs cost more than doing the job once, properly.
We will tell you honestly when that point is reached – and when it is not. A full re-roof is a big decision, and as the roofer Merthyr Tydfil homeowners rely on, we back every re-tile with a written guarantee, clear pricing and a tidy, well-managed site from scaffold up to scaffold down.
