Roof Replacement Conwy

Do You Actually Need Roof Replacement?

A roof usually asks to be replaced rather than repaired when the failures are widespread rather than isolated — and on older stock the fixings often go before the slate does — as anyone with a roof near Berry Street in Conwy will recognise.

• Slates lifting by hand across the whole roof (nail sickness)
• Repeated repairs in different spots every year
• Perished, brittle underlay visible in the loft
• Widespread cracked, delaminating or bowed tiles

When it is not the answer: If the covering and underlay are sound and only a small area is damaged, a full re-roof is oversell — a targeted repair is the honest answer — which on Conwy roofs is worth taking seriously given the exposure here. Read the full guide.

What to Expect: Roof Replacement in Conwy

Typical Timescales

A roof is never left open overnight; sustained wet or high wind can extend the programme by a day or two — particularly near Castle Street where the older stock shows its age.

Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Conwy

A full re-roof always needs scaffold for safe access and to load out the old covering — particularly on the older Conwy properties off Castle Street. Scaffold is specified for: the entire job — strip, re-lay and clearance all run from full scaffold - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

Conwy's walled-town terraces and listed stock inside the medieval walls mean tight access and conservation-sensitive materials. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Conwy County Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, Castle Street, Berry Street where space is tight.

Roof Replacement Prices in Conwy

What moves the price

• Roof size and number of slopes
• Slate vs concrete tile vs clay
• How much existing slate is reusable
• Scaffold complexity and lead work

Worked example: A a full re-roof on a terrace inside the town walls worked out around £7,200 including access and waste removal.

Staged payments tied to progress on re-roofs — nothing up front before materials are on site.

What the 10-Year Guarantee Actually Covers

The full re-roof carries a 10-year written workmanship guarantee, transferable if you sell, plus manufacturer warranties on the new covering and underlay — something we see constantly on Conwy properties around High Street.

• Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
• On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
• Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.

Living Around the Work

A week or more of scaffold and skip on site, some noise during strip and nailing — you do not need to be home, and we protect drives, planting and boundaries throughout — and on an exposed Conwy roof that is not a detail to cut corners on. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.

Re-roofs run year-round with the roof kept weathertight stage by stage; we plan the strip around the forecast. Estuary humidity off the Conwy river keeps north-facing slopes damp and moss-prone through winter.
