Roofers Cardiff Guarantees and Insurance Explained

A new roof or a repair is only as good as the promise standing behind it.

Redland Roofing Cardiff is an independent, family-run business that has served Cardiff and South East Wales for over 30 years, and we believe customers deserve a plain explanation of the protection that comes with our work. Insurance comes first. Redland Roofing Cardiff is fully insured, which matters on any job involving ladders, scaffolding and work at height above your home and your neighbours' properties. It is always worth checking that any roofer you are considering is properly insured before work starts. Next comes the workmanship guarantee. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and the terms are set out clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what is covered before you agree to anything. There is no small print waiting to be discovered later. Materials are protected too. Where applicable, the products we use carry manufacturer warranties, which sit alongside our own workmanship guarantee. That applies across the range of work we do, from tiled and slate roof replacements to EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass flat roofs, Metrotile lightweight conservatory roofs, guttering, fascias and dry verge. Guarantee terms depend on the job. One customer, for example, received a five-year guarantee on chimney repointing and plant removal work. Your written quote will always confirm the exact terms for your project.

As a rough guide, Redland Roofing Cardiff price minor jobs such as replacing a few broken tiles from around £150 to £300, while storm damage or new flashing usually runs from £300 to £800 or more. Every quote is free and written down before any work starts, so there are no surprises. How can I tell a dodgy roofer from a good one?

A reputable Cardiff roofer will give a written quote, explain the guarantee, confirm they are insured and show you photos of the problem. Redland Roofing Cardiff do all of this as standard on every job. Who are some reputable roofers in Cardiff? Look for an established local firm with a long track record and plenty of genuine reviews. Redland Roofing Cardiff are an independent, family-run business that has served Cardiff and South East Wales for over 30 years and holds a 4.8-star rating from more than 200 Google reviews. They are based at 1 Trecinon Road in Rumney and cover the whole city. Does my roofer have to give me a guarantee in writing? You should always ask for it. Redland Roofing Cardiff set out the guarantee on labour in every written quote, and materials carry manufacturer warranties where applicable. If anything isn't right after the job, the team come back and put it right. How do I know if a roofer is any good? Check recent reviews, ask how long they have been trading and see whether they explain the problem clearly before quoting. Redland Roofing Cardiff customers often mention being shown photos of the issue, quick next-day repairs and tidy, polite teams. A roofer who recommends a repair rather than an unnecessary replacement is usually a good sign. What questions should I ask my roofer before work starts? Ask what exactly is wrong and how they know, what the written quote includes, how long the job will take, whether they are insured and what guarantee you get. For a full re-roof, ask how the house will be kept dry overnight. Redland Roofing Cardiff leave roofs watertight at the end of every working day and give a clear timeline before starting. How long does a roof last in Wales? Welsh rain, coastal winds and freeze-thaw cycles all shorten roof life. A well-installed concrete or clay tile roof can last 40 to 60 years with maintenance, and good slate can outlast the building. Felt flat roofs tend to last 10 to 15 years, while EPDM rubber, which Redland Roofing Cardiff specialise in, can last 25 to 30 years or more. What usually causes a roof to leak? The most common culprits on Cardiff homes are slipped or missing tiles, cracked flashing around chimneys, blocked gutters, worn valleys and failed lead joints. On extensions and garages, flat roofs often leak where the surface has cracked or a joint has opened. Redland Roofing Cardiff trace the source first so you only pay to fix the real problem. Do I need planning permission to replace my roof in Cardiff? A like-for-like replacement on a standard house usually falls under permitted development. In conservation areas such as Pontcanna, parts of Roath and Llandaff, on listed buildings, or if you are changing materials, you may need consent from Cardiff Council. Redland Roofing Cardiff can advise on this during the free assessment. How quickly can a roofer come out in an emergency? Redland Roofing Cardiff run a 24/7 emergency service across Cardiff and South East Wales for storm damage and sudden leaks. The aim is to get someone to you as quickly as possible and make the roof watertight. Call 07884 013048 at any time of day or night. How long does a full roof replacement take? A standard terraced or semi-detached house in Cardiff typically takes 2 to 4 days, weather permitting. Larger detached homes, such as many in Cyncoed and Lisvane, or roofs with complex shapes usually take 4 to 7 days. Redland Roofing Cardiff confirm the timeline in writing before work begins.
