Powys
Roofers in Newtown
Cambrian Roofing covers Newtown and the villages around it. Tell us what the roof is doing and we pass it to a local roofer who quotes in writing.
Newtown is the largest town in Powys, with Victorian terraces around the centre from its years as a flannel and textile town, the big 1970s new-town estates at Treowen, Trehafren and Maesyrhandir, and a ring of newer housing beyond them.
The roofs
The older streets are mostly natural slate on timber, the estates are concrete interlocking tiles now fifty years old, and a lot of the town has flat-roofed extensions and garages from the same period.
The weather
It sits in the Severn valley, sheltered compared with the hills either side, but the valley funnels westerly wind and the town takes heavy rain off the Cambrian Mountains.
Planning and materials
There is a conservation area covering the historic centre around Broad Street and the canal basin, where like-for-like slate is expected on visible roofs.
How Cambrian Roofing works in Newtown (Y Drenewydd)
We are an independent roofing enquiry service for Powys and Ceredigion, not a roofing firm. Tell us what the roof is doing and where, from the streets around the Robert Owen Museum to the villages out at Caersws, Kerry, Abermule, and we pass the enquiry to one local roofer who covers Newtown. They visit, look properly and quote in writing. There is no charge for using the service and no obligation when the quote arrives.
