Cardiff's housing stock, from a roofer's point of view

Cardiff grew fast on coal money, and the legacy is street after street of Victorian terraces in Roath, Canton and Cathays, most originally roofed in Welsh slate from the quarries that once roofed the world. Much of that slate is now 120 years old or more, and the question on any re-roof is whether to match it in natural slate or switch to a cheaper alternative. Weather is the other local factor: storms driving up the Bristol Channel hit chimney stacks, ridge lines and gable ends hard, so wind-lifted slates and damaged flashings are staple Cardiff call-outs every winter.

Finding a good roofer in Cardiff

The checks are the same everywhere, and most cowboy jobs fail them all: proof of public liability insurance, a verifiable trading history under a real business name, a written itemised quote rather than a figure over the phone, references or photos from recent local jobs, and a written guarantee on workmanship. For terrace slate work, ask how they will match the existing slate. Our guide to choosing a roofer walks through each check, and every roofer in our network has already passed them.
