Roof repairs in Morriston

A leak rarely starts where the water shows on the ceiling. We get up on the roof, find where the water is getting in and repair it, whether that is a few slipped or cracked tiles, a damaged section of underlay or a patch of roof that has given up after years of wind and rain.

If a repair is the right answer, that is what we quote for. If the roof underneath has reached the end of its life, we will show you what we found and talk you through the options, so you can decide.

We repair

  • Roof leaks
  • Slipped and broken tiles
  • Damaged underlay
  • Weather damage

Re-roofing and roof replacement

When a roof has been patched once too often, a re-roof puts it right for good. We strip the old tiles and the old felt or underlay back to the rafters, then build the roof back up: breathable membrane first, new treated battens fixed in straight, evenly spaced rows, and the tiles on top.

The photos on this site are from our own re-roofs, taken part way through, with the new membrane and battens on and the roof ready for its tiles.

What a re-roof covers

  • Old tiles stripped off
  • Old felt or underlay removed
  • New breathable membrane
  • New treated battens

Then

  • Tiles laid and fixed
  • Edges and ridge finished
  • Every slope done the same way
  • The roof watertight again

Breathable roof membrane and new battens

The tiles get the attention, but the layers under them do much of the work. A breathable roofing membrane stops wind-driven rain that gets past the tiles while letting moisture out of the loft, which helps to stop condensation. The battens on top of it hold every tile in line.

Older roofs often have felt that has gone brittle or torn, and battens that have rotted or split. We replace them with a breathable membrane, lapped and fixed properly, and new treated battens, whether that is part of a full re-roof or a section of roof being put right.

We fit

  • Breathable roofing membrane
  • New treated battens
  • Part of a roof or all of it
  • Membrane at the edges and verges

Signs it is due

  • Torn or brittle felt
  • Rotten or split battens
  • Damp in the loft
  • Tiles that will not sit right

Tiled roofs and roofing services

Concrete tiles are on a great many houses around Morriston and Swansea. They last well, but they slip when their fixings fail, crack when something hits them and grow heavy with moss as they age. We replace broken tiles, re-fix slipped ones and strip and re-lay whole slopes when the battens underneath need renewing.
