Cyncoed and Lakeside Roofing Contractor Redland Roofing Cardiff

What does a 1930s semi on Cyncoed Road have in common with a post-war detached house a few streets from Roath Park Lake? Quite a lot, once you look up. Both are likely to have concrete interlocking tiles, a garage with a felt flat roof, and very often a conservatory added somewhere along the way. Redland Roofing Cardiff, a family-owned roofing contractor run by John Owen from Trecinon Road in Rumney, knows these houses well, and Cyncoed and Lakeside are only a short drive away through Penylan. Concrete tiles are tough, but they aren't forever. After decades of Cardiff weather, the mortar bedding the ridge tiles cracks and loosens, the undercloth or felt beneath the tiles can perish, and a single slipped tile can let rain onto the timbers below. Garage roofs are another common headache in Cyncoed and Lakeside. Old felt splits, blisters and sags, and water sits in the dips until it finds a way through. Redland Roofing Cardiff replaces tired flat roofs with an EPDM rubber membrane over new tongue-and-groove sterling board decking, and flat roof replacement is one of the jobs customers mention most in the firm's Google reviews. Conservatories bring their own problems. Many were added to 1930s and post-war homes around Lakeside and Cyncoed decades ago, and their roofs can leak at the joints, go brittle or simply make the room too cold in winter and too hot in summer. The team carries out conservatory roof replacement alongside all the usual work on these houses, including new ridge tiles, dry verge caps, vent covers, lead work where extensions meet the main wall, and new gutters, fascias and soffits. Street trees along Cyncoed Road and the parkland around the lake mean gutters here fill fast every autumn, so it's worth having them cleared and checked before the winter rain sets in.

Every quote is free and written down before any work starts, so there are no surprises. How can I tell a dodgy roofer from a good one?

If anything isn't right after the job, the team come back and put it right. How do I know if a roofer is any good? Check recent reviews, ask how long they have been trading and see whether they explain the problem clearly before quoting. Redland Roofing Cardiff customers often mention being shown photos of the issue, quick next-day repairs and tidy, polite teams. A roofer who recommends a repair rather than an unnecessary replacement is usually a good sign. What questions should I ask my roofer before work starts?

For a full re-roof, ask how the house will be kept dry overnight. Redland Roofing Cardiff leave roofs watertight at the end of every working day and give a clear timeline before starting. How long does a roof last in Wales? Welsh rain, coastal winds and freeze-thaw cycles all shorten roof life. A well-installed concrete or clay tile roof can last 40 to 60 years with maintenance, and good slate can outlast the building. Felt flat roofs tend to last 10 to 15 years, while EPDM rubber, which Redland Roofing Cardiff specialise in, can last 25 to 30 years or more. What usually causes a roof to leak? The most common culprits on Cardiff homes are slipped or missing tiles, cracked flashing around chimneys, blocked gutters, worn valleys and failed lead joints. On extensions and garages, flat roofs often leak where the surface has cracked or a joint has opened. Redland Roofing Cardiff trace the source first so you only pay to fix the real problem. Do I need planning permission to replace my roof in Cardiff? A like-for-like replacement on a standard house usually falls under permitted development.
