ROOFING POINTERS
Worth knowing before you plan the work, set a budget and hire a Roofer.
WORTH KNOWING
Adding a skylight to an existing roof means cutting into the structure and properly flashing around the new opening — a common source of future leaks if not done to the window manufacturer's fitting instructions exactly. Existing roof pitch and rafter spacing affect what size window can go where.
USEFUL TO KNOW
Slipped, cracked or missing tiles, sagging in the roofline, daylight visible through the roof from the loft, and damp patches on ceilings are all signs worth having checked. A few slipped tiles is usually a repair; sagging or widespread wear across the whole roof usually points toward a full re-roof being better value than repeated repairs.
USEFUL TO KNOW
A south-facing roof slope generally gets the most useful sun for solar panels, though east/west-facing roofs can still work reasonably well. A roofer or solar installer assessing suitability will look at pitch, orientation, shading from nearby trees or buildings, and roof structural capacity together.
GOOD TO KNOW
Natural slate is durable and often required on period or listed properties for appearance reasons, but costs more than concrete or clay tile. Metal (zinc) roofing suits modern extensions and flat/low-pitch areas. The right material often depends as much on the property's style and any planning restrictions as personal preference.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
An insurance-backed guarantee protects you if the roofing company goes out of business during the guarantee period — a separate product from the roofer's own workmanship guarantee. Not every roofer offers this; worth asking specifically for larger jobs like a full re-roof.
USEFUL TO KNOW
Lead flashing seals the joins where a roof meets a chimney, wall, or valley — a very common source of leaks when it perishes or is poorly installed, even if the roof tiles themselves are fine. If a leak keeps recurring in the same spot near a chimney, it's often the leadwork rather than the tiles that needs attention.
GOOD TO KNOW
A leaning or spalling (crumbling brick) chimney is a structural safety issue, not just cosmetic — some roofers handle chimney repointing and rebuilding themselves, others work alongside a bricklayer. If the chimney is still in use for a flue, check whether it needs to stay swept and functional during the work.
PROTECTING YOUR HOME
For a leak during a storm, contain the water inside (a bucket, moving belongings) rather than attempting a repair on a wet or high-wind roof yourself. Photograph any visible damage from the ground for an insurance claim before it's repaired. Tarping over a damaged section is a common temporary fix while a full repair is arranged.
AREA GUIDE
Bletherston (Welsh: Trefelen) is a small settlement and parish in eastern Pembrokeshire, administered by Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro) local authority and lying in the SA63 postcode district. The parish includes the village of Penffordd and, together with Llys y Fran and New Moat, forms the community of New Moat. Distances noted in local descriptions place it roughly six miles north of Narberth and eight miles northeast of Haverfordwest, indicating a rural parish setting within reach of larger towns. For tradespeople searches, the SA63 postcode directs you to contractors who serve central‑eastern Pembrokeshire. In practice, that rural character means you should check access for vans and equipment, expect possible travel surcharges or longer lead times, and confirm whether properties have off‑mains drainage or other site‑specific constraints that affect plumbing, drainage and external repair work.
Roofing work in the rural SA63 parish often involves older stone or slate roofs and properties where traditional materials and careful flashing are needed to retain weather resistance. Narrow rural access and restricted parking mean roofers must plan for scaffold delivery and material handling, and in some cases smaller crews or local hire of smaller plant is needed.
Period properties commonly need slate matching and lead flashing repairs, while some outbuildings or extensions may have felt or GRP flat roofs that require different replacement techniques. Choose contractors with recognised trade membership such as NFRC or the Competent Roofer scheme to ensure standards and guarantees. Ask for a site visit to inspect access and scaffold requirements, request photographed examples of similar rural work, and confirm who will manage debris removal and any temporary protection to yards or lanes.
