Roof replacement in Aberystwyth

Re-roofing a house in Aberystwyth starts with what is on it. The seafront and the streets behind it are natural slate on high Victorian pitches, with parapet gutters, lead valleys and chimney stacks that face the sea, and the suburbs add concrete tile and flat roofs. Tell us about yours and we pass the enquiry to one roofer who covers Aberystwyth and the villages around it, who visits and gives you a written price.

What a Aberystwyth roofer expects to find

The seafront and the streets behind it are natural slate on high Victorian pitches, with parapet gutters, lead valleys and chimney stacks that face the sea, and the suburbs add concrete tile and flat roofs. On the older houses the timbers have usually been wet at some point, so a re-roof quote should carry a stated allowance for rafter-end and wall-plate repair rather than a figure that grows once the slates are off.

Exposure

This is the most exposed town in the area: the promenade takes Atlantic storms head on, the wind carries salt well inland, and slipped slates after a winter gale are the commonest roofing call in town.

Planning and materials in Aberystwyth

The seafront and the old town are conservation areas, so re-roofing a terrace there means matching slate and keeping the ridge and chimney lines. Like-for-like re-roofing is normally permitted development; a change of material or colour on a visible slope is where consent can be needed, and the roofer should raise it before quoting.

Getting a quote in Aberystwyth

Send us the address, the age of the house and what the roof is doing. We pass it to a local roofer who works Aberystwyth and the villages around it, including Llanbadarn Fawr, Penparcau, Bow Street, Penrhyncoch, and they arrange to look and quote in writing. Using the service costs nothing.

From the houses around the Old College to the farms out towards Penparcau, the same firm covers the lot.
