Roofers in Mold
We cover Mold, Buckley and the villages of Flintshire around them, travelling through Chester and along the A494. Mold is the county town of Flintshire, with a Georgian and Victorian high street, slate roofs everywhere and the Clwydian Range to the west, so roofs here deal with the weather coming over the hills.

Mold's houses and roofs
Mold's wide High Street climbs to St Mary's church and Bailey Hill, lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings, many roofed in Welsh slate with brick and stone chimneys. The town grew as a market and administrative centre, and its terraces and villas sit alongside twentieth-century estates on the edges of town.
Buckley, nearby, was a centre of pottery and brickmaking, with terraces built for its workers. To the west, the villages on the slopes of the Clwydian Range are more exposed, with stone cottages and farmhouses.

Yes. We repair and relay slate roofs in matching Welsh slate, with lead and chimney work, and consent where a listed building needs it.
