Roof replacement in Crickhowell

Re-roofing a house in Crickhowell starts with what is on it. Slate on almost everything, on old rubble-stone walls, with stone-slate and older coverings on some of the farmhouses in the valley. Tell us about yours and we pass the enquiry to one roofer who covers Crickhowell and the villages around it, who visits and gives you a written price.

What a Crickhowell roofer expects to find

Slate on almost everything, on old rubble-stone walls, with stone-slate and older coverings on some of the farmhouses in the valley. 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 valley is sheltered compared with Brecon but the Black Mountains and the Sugar Loaf catch the rain, and the town floods from the Usk in a bad winter.

Planning and materials in Crickhowell

Inside Bannau Brycheiniog National Park with a conservation area covering the centre, so natural slate and traditional detailing are expected. 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 Crickhowell

Send us the address, the age of the house and what the roof is doing. We pass it to a local roofer who works Crickhowell and the villages around it, including Llangattock, Gilwern, Llangynidr, Bwlch, and they arrange to look and quote in writing. Using the service costs nothing.

From the houses around Table Mountain (Crug Hywel) to the farms out towards Gilwern, the same firm covers the lot.
