T & T Roofing fits new roofs across Bridgend and the villages around it. Whether the old covering has simply run its course or the timbers underneath need attention, we survey first and quote in writing.
Bridgend is a town where almost every kind of house sits within a few minutes of the next. Older terraces near the centre, interwar semis, and larger estates built through the second half of the last century all end up needing a new roof sooner or later, and the reasons differ from street to street. Slipped tiles, sagging ridges and damp patches on bedroom ceilings are the usual prompts.
We install new roofs on homes in Bridgend itself and in places like Brackla, Coity, Laleston and Pencoed. That means stripping the old covering, checking the timbers beneath, fitting new membrane and battens, then laying tile, slate or fibre cement to suit the house. Leadwork, fascias, soffits and guttering are done in the same visit, so the roof is finished properly rather than half-done.

On these houses the trouble is often hidden: a roof that looks acceptable from the pavement can have tired battens, split slates held on by habit, and lead flashings that have lifted around chimneys and party walls.
Further out, the interwar semis and the big spread of estate housing from the 1960s to the 1990s make up most of the town. Many of these carry concrete interlocking tiles, and the early ones were often laid on felt that has perished with age. Verges and ridge mortar tend to crack first, and wind can then work underneath the tiles along the edges.
Bridgend sits open enough to catch the wind coming up from the coast, and rain arrives often and sideways. Newer edges toward Brackla, Coychurch and Sarn are more exposed still, with fewer older buildings to shelter them. That steady battering is hard on fixings and flashings, so we pay close attention to how a new roof is secured, not only what it is covered with.
For most estate and interwar houses in Bridgend, a modern concrete or clay-effect interlocking tile is the sensible choice. It suits the pitch, it is light enough for the existing timbers, and it looks right alongside neighbouring homes. Natural slate is worth considering on older terraced properties, where it often matches what was there originally and lasts well when fixed properly.
Fibre cement slate sits between the two. It gives the look of slate on a house where the structure points away from the real thing, and it is lighter to carry. We will tell you honestly which suits your roof after the survey, and we will say so if an option would not serve you well in the long run.
New roof installations in Bridgend and the neighbourhoods and villages close by.
Yes, as far as any roof job allows. We work along the shared line carefully, protect party walls, and renew the flashings where the roofs meet. We will tell the neighbours what is happening and keep the noise and mess as low as we can.
Not always. Newer estate roofs usually have a sound structure and need the covering and felt renewed. Older homes more often need timber repairs as well. The survey tells us which it is, and we explain the difference before you agree to anything.
Not necessarily. Wind-driven rain often finds a lifted ridge, cracked verge or failed flashing, and those can sometimes be fixed. If the felt is perished or many tiles are slipping, a new roof is the better route. We will say which applies.
A standard semi usually takes several days once the scaffold is up, depending on the weather, the size of the roof and how much timber work turns up underneath. We give you a sensible timeframe in the quote and keep you updated as we go.
Yes, and it makes sense to. The roofline is easiest to renew while the scaffold is already up, and new gutters sit properly against a new roof edge. We can quote the whole job together so everything is finished in one go.
