Roofer in Clydach, undefined

Clydach sits where the Clydach river joins the Tawe at the mouth of the Swansea Valley, and its roofs sit between two very different conditions: sheltered valley floor and exposed hillside above.

Where the valley opens out

Clydach is in the Swansea district, SA6, on the A4067 about six miles north of Swansea city centre, with the Mond nickel works a defining part of its industrial history.

Housing runs from nineteenth-century workers' terraces near the river to substantial post-war and modern estates on the higher ground towards Craig Cefn Parc and Vardre.

The Lower Clydach valley is wooded, and the hillside above the village is open and windy.

Two sets of problems in one village

Down by the river, blocked gutters and valleys from leaf fall dominate.
On the higher estates, wind damage to ridges, verges and roofline is the more common call.
Older terraces here have the same nail-sickness pattern as the rest of the valley.

Do older Clydach terraces need a full re-roof once slates start slipping?

Not automatically. If the slate is sound and only the nails have failed in areas, patch repair is reasonable. If it is widespread, re-covering is the honest option.

Which nearby areas do you cover from Clydach?

Craig Cefn Parc, Trebanos, Rhos, Glais, Ynysforgan, Morriston and Pontardawe.

Why does my valley gutter overflow rather than the normal gutter?

A valley carries the water from two slopes at once. Once debris builds in it, it backs up under the tiles rather than spilling over the front like a gutter does, which is why it shows inside.

Which half of Clydach you live in usually tells us what the roof needs.
