New Roofs & Re-roofing in Aberdare

Draft scope: owner must confirm this service, its materials and exclusions before launch.

Who this is for

Owners of homes where repeated repairs are no longer worthwhile, where the covering is at end of life, or where an extension or conversion needs a new roof.

Signs you may need it

Repeated leaks in different places
Widespread slipping, cracking or crumbling tiles or slates
Sagging roof lines or rotten battens
Old felt that is brittle or torn
Changing the roof covering as part of other building work

What is included

Stripping the existing covering
Checking and replacing battens and minor timbers as agreed
New underlay and battens
New tiles or slates, with ridge, hip and verge details
Flashings, valleys and associated roofline details as quoted
Removal of waste

What is not included

Major structural alterations
Scaffolding if not itemised in the quote
Planning or building-regulation applications unless agreed in writing

Options and materials

Concrete or clay tiles. Typically lower cost and a wide range of profiles and colours.
Natural or fibre-cement slate. Matches many traditional Valleys terraces; cost and weight differ between types.
Reusing existing slates or tiles. Possible where they are sound, but it depends on condition and fixings.

How the job runs

Enquiry. Tell us what you can see and where the property is. Photos help but are not required at this stage.
Site assessment. We assess the roof, loft access and surrounding access for scaffold, and note the existing structure.
Written quote. You receive the scope, materials and price in writing so you can compare it like for like.
Preparation and work. Access, protection of the surrounding area and timing are agreed before work begins.
Handover. We walk through what was done, tidy up and remove waste. Ask us for any paperwork you need.

What affects the cost

We do not publish fixed prices because every property differs. The main factors are:

Roof area and complexity (dormers, valleys, chimneys)
Choice of covering
Scaffolding and access
Condition of timbers beneath
Waste removal and disposal

Price guidance

We only publish prices the owner has approved, and none are published for this service yet. Every quote is based on the factors above.

Access, disruption and weather

A roof is open while it is stripped, so work is staged and weather-watched.
Plan for noise, some dust and scaffolding on the property for the duration.
Building-regulation requirements can apply to re-roofing; we will say what we think applies and what to check with the council.
