Roofers in Kington
On the Welsh border, Kington takes a beating from prevailing weather. APS Roofing keeps HR5 properties — from town terraces to hill farms — properly weather-tight.
Roofs built for Kington's weather.
Kington is wild, green and exposed. A small market town surrounded by big hills, with stone cottages, slate-roofed terraces and a lot of weather to contend with year-round.
Welsh slate and natural stone tile dominate, with some plain clay tile in town and profiled sheeting on agricultural buildings out toward Hergest and Lower Hergest.
Why homeowners in Kington choose APS
- Happy to travel into HR5 — no remoteness surcharge
- Specialists in Welsh slate and traditional lead detailing
- Used to working safely in exposed, windy conditions
- Honest, clear quoting — no Kington upcharge
Common roof issues in Kington.
Driving rain ingress at flashings
Wind-driven rain off the Welsh hills finds every weak flashing. We re-dress lead in one piece around abutments rather than relying on lead-flash sealants.
Slate slip from frost cycles
HR5 sees harder frosts than the rest of the county. Old slate nails (nibs) corrode and tiles slip — we copper-hook re-fix as a permanent fix.
Moss and lichen build-up
Damp, shaded north pitches around Kington grow moss heavily, blocking the laps and forcing water sideways under tiles. We soft-clean and treat.
Aged lead valleys on stone properties
Many HR5 stone cottages still have original lead valleys — once they split, we replace with code 5 and properly boarded substrates.
