Roof replacement in Cardigan

Re-roofing a house in Cardigan starts with what is on it. Slate on the older town, with some very tall three-storey buildings on the High Street whose roofs are rarely looked at, and a lot of concrete tile and flat roofs in the suburbs and holiday parks. Tell us about yours and we pass the enquiry to one roofer who covers Cardigan and the villages around it, who visits and gives you a written price.

What a Cardigan roofer expects to find

Slate on the older town, with some very tall three-storey buildings on the High Street whose roofs are rarely looked at, and a lot of concrete tile and flat roofs in the suburbs and holiday parks. 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

The Teifi estuary opens onto the bay and the town gets the south-westerlies straight in; Cardigan is often the first place on the coast to report storm damage.

Planning and materials in Cardigan

The town centre is a conservation area and the castle and several buildings around it are listed. 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 Cardigan

Send us the address, the age of the house and what the roof is doing. We pass it to a local roofer who works Cardigan and the villages around it, including St Dogmaels, Aberporth, Cilgerran, Llechryd, and they arrange to look and quote in writing. Using the service costs nothing.

From the houses around the Guildhall market to the farms out towards Aberporth, the same firm covers the lot.
