Fairwater, Cardiff CF5 Roofing

FAIRWATER

In 2025, when those westerly gales hit Cardiff, we received 47 emergency calls from Fairwater alone.

Lifted tiles on Heol y Cerddin. Damaged flashing near Fairwater Park. A worrying leak in a 1960s semi backing onto the River Ely.

We attended every single one, often preventing what could have been
thousands of pounds in water damage.

If you’ve noticed a damp patch spreading across your ceiling, felt that cold draft in the spare room, or heard tiles rattling during recent storms, you’re right to be concerned.

We’ve been fixing roofs in Fairwater for over 40 years, and we know exactly how Cardiff’s weather tests the roofing in this area – particularly on properties
built in the post-war era, when building standards weren’t what they are today.

Here’s what you need to know: most roofing problems get worse, not better. A small leak becomes structural damage. A few loose tiles become a major replacement.

The good news? Caught early, most issues are straightforward and affordable to fix.

Our team consists of experienced Cardiff roofers  and we provide acomplete range of roofing options:

    • 24/7 Emergency Roof RepairsStorm damage doesn’t wait for Monday morning. Call us any time, day or night, and we’ll be there fast – usually within the hour for Fairwater properties. We can secure your roof immediately and prevent further damage. No call-out charges for genuine emergencies.
    • Expert Roof Repairs That LastFrom a handful of slipped slates to leaks around chimneys and valleys, we fix it properly the first time. We don’t patch problems—we solve them. We’ll always tell you honestly if a repair makes sense or if you’re throwing good money after bad.What Fairwater homeowners tell us they appreciate most: We turn up when we say we will, we explain everything in plain English and we clean up thoroughly afterwards.
    • Complete Roof Replacements If your roof is beyond sensible repair—and many 1950s-1970s Fairwater roofs are reaching that point—we’ll guide you through replacement options that match your property and your budget. Slate, tile, or flat roofing.

      We work with all matireals annd methods common to this area.Recent

      Fairwater project: Complete re-roof of a 1967 semi near Pentrebane Road. New concrete tiles,
      replaced felt and battens, upgraded ventilation. Cost: Less than £7000. Timeline: 4 days including cleanup. Customer comment: “Wouldn’t know they’d been here except for the beautiful new roof.

    • Chimney Repairs & Repointing
      Traditional chimneys need regular maintenance, especially pointing which deteriorates in Cardiff’s wet
      climate. We handle everything from repointing to lead flashing replacement, keeping your chimney
      weathertight and structurally sound.
    • Guttering, Fascias & Soffits
      Blocked gutters cause more roofing problems than almost anything else. We clean, repair, and replace the whole drainage system – and if those old wooden fascias are rotting, we’ll replace them with modern uPVC that never needs painting again.

Q: How do I know if I need a repair or full replacement?

Honest answer: it depends on your roof’s age and condition. We’ll inspect it thoroughly and give you both
options with costs. If a repair will last another 5-10 years, we’ll tell you. If you’re just delaying the inevitable,
we’ll tell you that too.

Yes. We work with all major insurers and can help with claims for storm damage. We provide detailed
reports and photographs for your insurer.

Q: How much does a new roof cost?

For a typical Fairwater semi-detached house in 2026: £5,500-£8,500 depending on size and materials. We provide detailed written quotes – never an estimate that mysteriously increases later.

Q: How long does a roof last?"

Concrete tiles: 50-60 years. Clay tiles: 60-100 years. Slate: 80-100+ years. It depends hugely on
maintenance, installation quality and Cardiff’s weather exposure.
