A Village We Have Worked In Repeatedly
Betws-y-Coed sits in the Conwy valley inside Eryri, and it is one of the wettest inhabited places we work. It is also one of the most architecturally protected: a great deal of the village is old stone, much of it listed, and the roofs on those buildings are original Welsh slate laid in diminishing courses on structures that predate every modern roofing convenience.
We have worked on multiple listed buildings here. That experience is why we are comfortable quoting on a property where the covering has to be reclaimed Welsh slate, the flashings have to be dressed lead rather than tape, and the finished roof has to look exactly as it did before anyone touched it.
The village is a run up the valley from the A55 for us, and we take in the surrounding settlements on the same trip: Capel Curig, Penmachno, Dolwyddelan, Llanrwst and the properties scattered along the valley road.
Getting To Betws-y-Coed
Betws-y-Coed is further inland than most of our patch, so we plan valley visits properly rather than promising an hour that the road will not allow. Free surveys are normally arranged within days, at a time that suits you.
The 24/7 emergency call-out service covers the valley. Call-outs are typically £150 to £250 depending on time of day and location, and because of the distance we agree the figure with you before setting off.
In a village where a leak and a week of Snowdonia rain can ruin a room, getting there and making the roof safe comes first; the permanent repair is quoted afterwards as a fixed price.

07538 586813Betws-y-Coed Property Types
Listed stone houses and cottages
Original thick Welsh slate, often in diminishing courses, on stone walls with no felt. Work has to respect both the structure and the listing.
Victorian hotels and guest houses
Large, complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers and stacks, and a trading season that means the work has to be planned around bookings.
Valley farmhouses and outbuildings
Exposed, hard-worked roofs where the covering may be sound but the battens, nails and flashings are long finished.
Modern extensions on old buildings
The join between a new flat-roofed extension and a 150-year-old stone wall is where the water gets in almost every time.

Why Choose Us In Betws-y-Coed
Listed building work already done here
Multiple listed buildings in Betws-y-Coed have been completed by this team. It is not a first for us and it is not something we subcontract out.
Reclaimed Welsh slate specialists
The right slate, sorted and laid the way the roof was originally built, so a repair or re-roof does not date the building.
Written findings before any commitment
Free survey, photographs of every defect and a plain explanation of what is causing the water ingress, which matters on a building where guesswork is expensive.
Fixed price and a real guarantee
A fixed price rather than a day rate, workmanship guaranteed, and 25 years on a new roof.
What Makes Betws-y-Coed Roofs Fail
Roofs fail differently in different places. These are the conditions that decide how a roof in Betws-y-Coed wears out, and what a repair here has to be built to survive.
Book the free surveyRainfall volume
This is Snowdonia. Gutters and valleys that would be adequate on the coast simply cannot carry the water here, so they overflow behind the fascia and rot the timber from the back.
Damp, sheltered, tree-lined sites
Valley properties sit in shade with leaf fall from surrounding woodland. Blocked valleys and gutters, moss build-up holding water against the slate, and permanently damp north elevations are routine.
Building age and original detailing
Stone walls, no cavity, no felt, and mortar detailing where lead should be. Once a cement fillet cracks, water runs straight down inside the wall.
Heritage constraints
You cannot simply lift a listed roof off and put concrete tiles back. The materials, the coursing and the detail all have to match, which rules out most of the cheap answers.

Betws-y-Coed Roofing Questions
The questions we are asked most by customers in Betws-y-Coed: coverage, timing, cost and what happens out of hours.
Ask us directly on 07538 586813Do you cover Betws-y-Coed?
Yes. We have worked on multiple listed buildings in the village and cover the surrounding valley including Llanrwst, Capel Curig, Dolwyddelan and Penmachno.
How quickly can you reach Betws-y-Coed?
It is further inland than most of our patch, so we plan valley visits properly. Free surveys are normally arranged within days, and emergency call-out is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Do you have listed building experience?
Yes, specifically in Betws-y-Coed. William's own listed home in Llangefni has also been fully refurbished by the team.
What does an emergency call-out to the valley cost?
Typically £150 to £250 depending on the time of day and your location. Because of the distance we agree the figure on the phone before we set off.
Can you source reclaimed Welsh slate?
Yes; it is a specialty. On a heritage roof it is usually the only correct answer, and matching the existing coursing matters as much as the slate itself.
My gutters overflow every time it rains hard. Is that a roof problem?
Often it is a capacity or fall problem rather than a blockage. In this rainfall, undersized or badly set guttering overflows behind the fascia and rots the timber out of sight. We survey it free and tell you which it is.
Can you work around a guest house season?
Yes. Programme dates are agreed in the quote before the work starts, so you know exactly which days we are on site.
Do you do roof surveys for buyers of old property here?
Yes. A free survey with photographs and written findings is exactly what you want before committing to a stone building with an original slate roof.
What guarantee applies to heritage work?
All work carries a workmanship guarantee. Where the job is a full new roof it is guaranteed for 25 years.
