Gutter Cleaning Cardiff

Professional Gutter Cleaning in Cardiff – Dragon Shield Roofing

Dragon Shield Roofing recently carried out a full
gutter cleaning service in Cardiff, helping a local homeowner restore proper drainage and protect their property from water damage.
Gutters play a vital role in directing rainwater away from your roof and walls, but when they become clogged with leaves, moss, and debris, they can quickly cause leaks, damp, and structural issues.

Why Gutter Cleaning Is Essential

Blocked or overflowing gutters can cause a range of problems, including:

  • Water damage to walls and brickwork
  • Damp and mould inside the property
  • Rotting fascias, soffits, and roof timbers
  • Foundation damage caused by poor drainage

Regular gutter cleaning not only prevents these issues but also extends the life of your guttering system, saving you money on future repairs.

Our Gutter Cleaning Service in Cardiff

For this project, our team used professional equipment to safely clear out all blockages, flush the system through, and check for any damage to joints and brackets.
Once completed, the gutters were flowing freely, protecting the property against water ingress and damp.

Why Choose Dragon Shield Roofing?

At Dragon Shield Roofing, we provide reliable, affordable
gutter cleaning in Cardiff and the surrounding areas.
Our experienced team is fully trained, insured, and dedicated to providing excellent service with lasting results.
From gutter cleaning and repairs to full roof maintenance, we’ve got you covered.

Book Your Gutter Cleaning in Cardiff

If your gutters are overflowing, blocked, or haven’t been cleaned in years, don’t wait until damage occurs.
We offer free quotes and fast response times throughout Cardiff and South Wales.

Contact us today to book your gutter cleaning service with Dragon Shield Roofing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should gutters be cleaned?

We recommend cleaning gutters at least once a year, or more often if your property is surrounded by trees.

2. Do you remove moss and debris from the roof as well?

Yes – during gutter cleaning, we can also remove roof moss and debris to prevent future blockages.

3. Can gutter cleaning stop leaks?

Yes – many leaks are caused by blockages or overflowing water. Once cleared, most gutters function as normal.

4. Do you carry out gutter repairs too?

Absolutely – if we find damaged sections, we can carry out gutter repairs or replacements as part of the service.

New Extension Roof in Slate Tiles – Merthyr Tydfil

At Dragon Shield Roofing, we take pride in delivering high-quality roofing solutions that blend seamlessly with your existing property. Our recent project in Merthyr Tydfil involved installing a brand-new extension roof using slate tiles carefully matched to the original roof, ensuring a flawless finish.

Matching Slate Tiles to the Existing Roof

When it comes to extensions, one of the most important details is ensuring the new roof complements the original structure. For this project, our team sourced slate tiles that matched the colour, size, and style of the existing roof. This not only preserved the home’s character but also provided a uniform, attractive look.

Professional Roof Installation

Our skilled roofers in Merthyr Tydfil carried out the full installation process, including:

  • Installing new treated roof battens and breathable membrane
  • Laying slate tiles to match the original roof design
  • Repointing and sealing all ridges and verges
  • Ensuring a weatherproof, durable finish built to last

The result was a strong, reliable, and visually seamless extension roof that enhances both the appearance and value of the property.

Why Choose Slate Tiles?

Slate roofing is one of the most durable and attractive options for both new roofs and extensions. Benefits include:

  • Exceptional lifespan – slate can last over 100 years
  • Natural weather resistance
  • A timeless, traditional appearance
  • Low maintenance compared to other roofing materials

FAQs – Extension Roofing in Merthyr Tydfil

How long does it take to install a new extension roof?

Most extension roofs can be completed in 1–2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project.

Can you match any type of roof tile?

Yes. We work with a wide range of slate and tile suppliers to ensure the closest match possible to your existing roof.

Do slate roofs require special maintenance?

Slate is very low-maintenance, but it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected every few years to check for slipped or damaged tiles.

Will the new roof be weatherproof?

Absolutely. We install breathable membranes, treated battens, and professional finishing to make sure your roof is fully weather-resistant.

Do you provide guarantees on new roofs?

Yes – all our new roofing installations come with a guarantee for your peace of mind.

At Dragon Shield Roofing, we’ve seen many avoidable issues over the years. Here are some of the most common mistakes made during flat roof projects in Cardiff and how to avoid them.
