Most roof repairs announce themselves the same way: a damp patch after rain, a slipped tile visible from the pavement, or debris in the gutters after a storm.
When it is not the answer: If more than about a third of the covering has failed across the slopes, repairing tile-by-tile is money wasted — a re-roof works out cheaper per remaining year. Read the full guide.
We handle all repair types on all roof types common to Llandudno's housing stock — from original Victorian slate to 1970s concrete interlocking tiles.
Slipped, cracked or nail-sicked Penrhyn Blue slate is the most common repair call across Llandudno's period housing. We carry reclaimed matching stock and re-fix with correct copper disc rivets.
Get a quote →Lime mortar bedding on Victorian ridgelines erodes over decades. We re-bed or mechanically fix ridge and hip tiles to current standards — particularly important on the storm-exposed North Shore properties.
Get a quote →Salt air accelerates lead oxidation and mortar joint failure around chimneys and abutments. We repair or replace flashings using BS EN 12588 code-grade lead with correct step and soaker details.
Get a quote →Blocked or failed valleys cause the majority of internal leak damage. We clear, re-line with lead or GRP valley tray and relay surrounding slate to a watertight finish.
Get a quote →Where original sarking felt has failed under the slate, we can carry out targeted felt and batten replacement without a full re-roof — saving significant cost where the slates themselves are still good.
Get a quote →Same-day response for storm-related damage across Llandudno. We make the roof safe and watertight first, then schedule the full repair at your convenience.

"Valley repair on the rear of our Victorian terrace. Previous patch had failed after 18 months. This team stripped it back, replaced the lead and relaid the surrounding tiles. Solid job."
"Noticed a dark stain spreading across the bedroom ceiling. Called Monday, they were up on the roof Wednesday, found the cracked ridge section and had it sorted same day."
Llandudno's housing stock spans over 150 years of building eras, and each brings its own repair profile. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces clustered around the promenade, Gloddaeth Street and the church streets were originally laid with Penrhyn Blue slate — a material that, where sound, is genuinely superior to modern alternatives. The challenge on these roofs is nail sickness: the original iron nails corrode and allow slates to slip without the slate itself being damaged. In these cases, we strip, re-nail with copper, and relay the original slates wherever possible.
The 1930s semi-detached properties in the Bodafon and Craig-y-Don areas were built with plain concrete interlocking tiles and are now approaching 90 years old in some cases. These roofs commonly need re-bedding of ridge lines, valley relining and occasional batten replacement where the original softwood has softened. The post-war estates further east in Craig-y-Don used heavier concrete interlocking tiles that are now entering the failure phase — nail corrosion again is the primary driver.
Much of the Victorian town centre falls within the Llandudno Conservation Area. Permitted development rights for roof materials are restricted — if your property is within the conservation boundary, any re-roofing or significant repair using different materials may need prior approval from Conwy County Borough Council. We navigate this regularly and can advise on what applies to your specific address.
All prices subject to survey. Free written quote provided before work begins.
We inspect the roof and, where we can, the loft, to find the actual source — leaks often track along timbers far from where they show inside.
You get a written quote separating access, materials and labour, so you can see exactly what the repair involves.
Tower, roof ladder or scaffold as the job needs — arranged and itemised by us.
We refix or replace the failed slates, re-bed ridges or renew the flashing, matching your existing covering.
Debris cleared, gutters checked, and the finished repair walked through with you before the guarantee is handed over.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tile refix | 1–2 hours |
| Ridge re-bedding (per section) | Half a day |
| Flashing renewal at a chimney | Half to full day |
| Rear valley rebuild | 2–3 days |
| Storm damage make-safe | Same day |
Wet or high-wind days pause tiling work — we build weather margin into every booking on this exposed coast.
Most repairs run from towers or roof ladders; scaffold is quoted only where the job needs safe standing time. Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side repairs, full valley rebuilds and anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Craig-y-Don and the town centre often mean rear-access scaffold and permit-controlled pavement space near the promenade. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Conwy County Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Mostyn Street, Madoc Street, Builder Street where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slipped tile refix | £150–£250 | Per visit including access |
| Multiple tiles / small area | £250–£450 | Depends on height and pitch |
| Ridge re-bedding | £350–£750 | Per ridge line |
| Chimney flashing renewal | £350–£650 | Code 4 lead |
| Valley rebuild | £600–£1,200 | Depending on length |

No deposit on repairs under £500; payment on completion. Nothing before materials are on site.
Workmanship on the repaired section is covered for 10 years in writing; replacement slates and tiles carry manufacturer warranties on top.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A day of ladder or scaffold work and a small amount of tile debris — we sheet below the work area and clear everything before we leave. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Repairs run year-round and temporary weatherproofing goes on the same day if rain stops play. Salt-laden Irish Sea wind off the Great Orme drives rain into west-facing elevations and speeds corrosion of fixings.
If fewer than 25–30% of your tiles or slates are failing and the underlying timbers and felt are sound, repair is usually the right call. On Llandudno's Victorian terraces with original Penrhyn slate, a repair-first approach often extends the roof life by 15–20 years. We survey and give you an honest assessment — no upsell to a replacement you don't need.
Yes. We source reclaimed Penrhyn Blue slate to match original stock on Llandudno's period properties. Where the Conwy conservation area requires material matching, we have established suppliers and can document compliance for planning purposes.
Minor repairs — a handful of slipped slates, re-bedding a ridge tile, resealing a flashing — typically cost £150–£400. More extensive work such as valley replacement or a half-slope repair runs £400–£900. We provide a written quote before any work begins.
Yes — we repair GRP, EPDM and felt flat roofs in addition to all pitched roof types. Flat-roofed rear extensions are common on Llandudno's Victorian terraces and often need attention every 10–15 years. See our flat roofing page for more detail.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Llandudno roofer who turns up when they say they will.
